Co-stars Harrison Ford and Ke Huy Quan reunited at Disney's D23 Expo this weekend nearly four decades after filming "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

On Saturday, Quan, 51, shared a photo on his Instagram of the pair hugging and smiling. He was just 12 years old when he played Short Round, Jones' captivating young sidekick, in the 1984 film.

"'I love you Indy,'" the actor wrote in the caption, seemingly referring to one of his lines from the film. "Indiana Jones and Short Round reunited after 38 years."

According to Entertainment Weekly, Quan went on to play the character Data in "The Goonies" the following year before taking a 35-year hiatus from acting. He told EW in February that after he finished working on the blockbuster films, there weren't many opportunities for him to act in the United States.

The former child actor went on to study film at the University of Southern California, but he said it wasn't until he saw actress Michelle Yeoh in the 2018 movie "Crazy Rich Asians" that he considered getting back into acting.

"So I called a friend who is an agent, and I said, 'Hey would you like to rep me?' and this is decades without an agent. He says 'yes,'" Quan told the outlet. "Two weeks later, I got this call about this project that's written and directed by the Daniels and stars Michelle Yeoh. I was like, oh my God! I mean, Michelle is the reason why I'm even thinking about getting back into acting in the first place."

The project was the 2022 interdimensional comedy-drama "Everything Everywhere All at Once," written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert. Quan starred alongside Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis, and Stephanie Hsu in the film, portraying Yeoh's on-screen husband Waymond.

Representatives for Quan and Ford did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.

Both Quan and Ford, 80, revealed details about their next projects at the fan convention Saturday. While it was announced that Quan will join the cast of the Disney+ series "Loki" for season two, Ford introduced the first trailer for "Indiana Jones 5." The actor also told audiences in an emotional speech that it would be his last film in the franchise, per Insider's Kirsten Acuna.

"'Indiana Jones' movies are about mystery and adventure, but they're also about heart. "We have a really human story to tell as well, a movie that will kick your ass." he said, later adding, "This is it! I will not fall down for you again."
