He said, ‘Oh, yes. Yes, it was great to see you.
He then praised Quan’s role as Waymond Wang in the critically acclaimed film Everything Everywhere All At Once.
Ford explained: ‘I mean… I had the opportunity to see the film. He’s really fantastic in his movie. And I’m so happy to see him… and what he’s become.
‘I’m happy for him. He’s such a happy guy, too. And well deserved!’
He went on to praise Quan’s role as Waymond Wang in the critically acclaimed film Everything Everywhere All At Once, saying, ‘I’m happy for him. He’s such a happy guy, too. And well deserved!’
Quan was nominated in the Best Performance by a Supporting Actor in Any Motion Picture category for the Golden Globes earlier this week.
This comes just three months after their reunion, when they both beamed from ear to ear at Disney’s event in September.
The two stars previously shared the screen in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, with Ford playing the title character and Quan playing his resourceful sidekick Short Round.
Quan joined Ford as they promoted their new projects in Anaheim, California.
Quan shared two sweet photos of the actors catching up, both showing him wrapping his arms around the older screen star.
The two even matched each other with their gray jeans and blazers.
‘”I love you, Indy”‘ Quan wrote in his caption, referring to a pivotal moment in Temple Of Doom.
‘Indiana Jones and Short Round have reunited after 38 years,’ he added.

Ford was at D23 to promote his upcoming fifth Indiana Jones film, which sees Logan’s James Mangold taking over from Spielberg in the director’s chair.
The actor confirmed at the presentation that this would be his last appearance as Indiana Jones.
‘That’s it! I will not fall in love with you again,’ he told the crowd.
The actor, who is sometimes cool with his more popular work including the Star Wars series, was visibly emotional when talking about the upcoming movie after a teaser trailer was shown.
“Indiana Jones movies are about mystery and adventure, but also about the heart, and I’m really, really happy that we have a really human story to tell, as well as a movie that will kick your ass,” he said.

Temple Of Doom became a global hit, although some viewers found the film too dark and violent, and it was instrumental in creating the PG-13 rating for films that were too mature for children but did not qualify for an R rating.
Despite its financial and critical success, others criticized the film for what they saw as racist depictions of Indian and Chinese cultures.
After appearing in the Steven Spielberg film, Quan appeared on screen the following year in the cult film The Goonies, based on a Spielberg story and directed by Richard Donner.
But despite playing prominent roles in two major cultural films, opportunities for the Vietnam-born actor began to dwindle in the late 1980s and 1990s.

After giving up a career in acting in the late 1990s, he enrolled in the University of Southern California’s film program to explore new opportunities.
He worked as a fight choreographer on 2000’s X-Men and served as an assistant director for acclaimed Hong Kong director Wong Kar Wai on his sci-fi romance 2046.
After the success of Crazy Rich Asians, Quan felt Hollywood was more accepting of Asian actors and began actively pursuing projects again.
He starred in last year’s surprise indie hit Everything Everywhere All At Once, which also garnered high praise for its star Michelle Yeoh.
The multi-talented actor was on hand Saturday at D23 to promote the upcoming second season of Loki, in which he will appear alongside Tom Hiddleston, Owen Wilson and Gugu Mbatha-Raw.
