Deadpool and Wolverinestar Hugh Jackman has shared a heartwarming post about fellow Ke Huy Quan and we’re not crying, you are.
“One of the many cool things about the movie being released is that so many cool things are happening that are making me appreciate the 25 years I’ve been playing Wolverine. So the other day on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at the induction ceremony for Kevin Feige, I saw Ke Huy Quan,” Jackman said in a video he shared on Twitter.
“Of course, he won an Oscar recently. His story is incredible and his career is incredible and we saw each other and embraced. We worked together on X-Men 1. He was in the stunt team at the time, working on that movie. First of all, he’s incredible, and that team were incredible. And that’s really where I learned a lot about action movies and how to do stunts. It was really cool to see him again and to reconnect.”
Deadpool and Wolverine brought Jackman out of superhero retirement and put him in the classic comic book-accurate yellow and blue Wolverine suit – which he had never worn before in a live-action film.
Quan worked as an assistant fight choreographer on X-Men before returning to the Marvel world as Ouroboros aka OB in season 2 of theDisneyPlus series Loki. He won both the Academy Award and Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Waymond Wang inEverything Everywhere All at Once(and we cry every single time we watch his acceptance speech).
