‘Love Hurts’ star Ke Huy Quan talks ‘The Goonies’ reunion and fulfilling his action star dreams: “I put myself in their shoes and imagine being number one on the call sheet, and it finally happened”

The newly minted leading man reunited with Sean Astin — and 'Goonies' actor (now Quan's entertainment attorney) Jeff Cohen during one memorable day on set.

In Love Hurts, Quan’s character, Marvin Gable, is one of Milwaukee’s best real estate agents, and he, too, has also been enjoying his own second bite of the apple until his much darker past as a hitman comes back to haunt him. In the lead-up to his first go-round as a leading man in a major studio film, Quan and the producorial team were weighing the possibilities for the role of Cliff, Marvin’s realtor boss, and that’s when someone suggested a casting that would mark a 40-year reunion. And together with producer David Leitch and his 87North action team, the Love Hurts brain trust put Quan through the wringer à la 87North’s previous work with the actors in Deadpool 2, Bullet Train, Nobody and The Fall Guy.
