Ke Huy Quan star of Everything Everywhere All At Once is now an Oscar winner, having picked up the award for best supporting actor
"Hang on lady, we going for a ride!" Almost 40 years on from delivering this understatement of a line on a rope bridge in one of the most famous films of the 1980s, actor Ke Huy Quan is now on a wild ride of his own.winner, having picked up the award for best supporting actor - but before his life-changing role in the hit multiverse film, he was best known for his work as a child star.
In the past 12 months, he has made not just a comeback, but an award-winning comeback, having picked up a slew of prizes - including a Golden Globe and Critics' Choice and SAG awards - for his performance as Waymond Wang alongside Michelle Yeoh in Everything Everywhere. Now, he has added an Oscar to that list.
"They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I cannot believe this is happening to me - this is the American dream. Thank you so much to the Academy for the honour of a lifetime." "It feels great," he said of his comeback."Also surreal. In fact, when I decided to step back into acting, I was so nervous because I didn't know what the audience would think. The last [time] they saw me up on the screen I was a little kid, and now I'm a middle-aged man. So to have the response of positivity has been incredible."'I love selfies'Ke Huy Quan: Film star, award winner, and master of the finger point.
"When I read the script, I knew it was special," he said."I loved it. It was a script that I wanted to read for a long time, and we had the most fun making it. But, we didn't expect all of this. I mean, all these award nominations and the audience embracing the movie the way they did is beyond anything we ever imagined.
