Last night, Ford was giving interviewing on the Hollywood Boulevard red carpet, when Quan snuck up behind him and surprised the 80-year-old legend.
The Indiana Jones star exclaimed to his former co-star: “You’re all grown up!”
Speaking to ET News on the red carpet, the Short Round actor said: “Honestly, every time I see him — he’s such a gracious man, such a humble man. And the reason why I love acting so much is because of him, because of that experience that we had on Temple Of Doom. So, here we are so many years later.”
Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, a prequel to Raiders of the Lost Ark, was set in 1935 and the fifth and final movie takes place in 1969.
The new film also opens in World War II with a digitally de-aged Ford being captured by Nazis.
