Ke Huy Quan Says Steven Spielberg Convinced Him To Star In ‘Love Hurts’ After He Initially Turned It Down: “Different Kind Of Action Hero”
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.
After years of having “fantasized” about starring in action films, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan is finally fulfilling that dream with Universal Pictures’ forthcoming Love Hurts, which he revealed he passed up a couple times before Steven Spielberg convinced him otherwise. Fortunately, he said the film’s creators — which includes John Wick stunt extraordinaire-turned-helmer Jonathan Eusebio — asked for him a third time, and it was at an event with Spielberg that history took its course. Quan will star opposite Ariana DeBose in a high-octane action flick that sees him thrust back into a world of crime, hit-men and double crosses after a former partner whom he left for dead resurfaces with an ominous letter.
