Ke Huy Quan and his 'Indiana Jones' costar Harrison Ford shared a hug after 'Everything Everywhere All at Once' won best picture

• Ke Huy Quan hugged Harrison Ford after "Everything Everywhere All at Once" won the best-picture Oscar.
• Quan and Ford starred together in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom."

Talk about coming full circle.

Thirty-nine years after Ke Huy Quan and Harrison Ford shared the screen together in 1984's "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom," the two hugged on the Academy Awards stage Sunday night when Ford presented Quan's movie "Everything Everywhere All at Once" with the Oscar for best picture.

Quan was one of the first from the movie to get on the stage after the win. When he saw Ford, he pointed at him with excitement and then ran over and embraced his former costar.

Variety's Ramin Setoodeh caught the moment inside the theater:

"Everything Everywhere All at Once" won seven Oscars on Sunday, including best supporting actor for Quan.

"They say stories like this only happen in the movies," Quan said in his acceptance speech. "I cannot believe it's happening to me. This — this is the American dream!"

"Dreams are something you have to believe in," Quan continued. "I almost gave up on mine — to all of you out there, please keep your dreams alive. Thank you, thank you so much for welcoming me back! I love you! Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

Quan struggled to find acting work for decades after getting his big break as a child actor starring in the classic movies "Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom" in 1984 and "The Goonies" a year later.

He is set to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe in "Loki" season two this summer.

Correction: March 13, 2023 — An earlier version of this story misspelled the name of one of Ke Huy Quan's films. It's "The Goonies," not "The Goodies."
