Quan floated the idea of the pair working together back on Oscars night in 2023, something DeBose embraced on the spot.

Ke Huy Quan said Steven Spielberg convinced him to star in 'Love Hurts,' after the actor initially thought he wasn't suited to play an action hero.

Spielberg directed a 12-year-old Quan opposite Harrison Ford in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom.” They celebrated the 2023 awards season together, with Quan in the race for “Everything Everywhere All at Once” and Spielberg for “The Fabelmans.”
