Ke Huy Quan completed one hell of a comeback story earlier this year when he won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his phenomenal performance in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

On the movie's awards campaign trails, Quan spoke extensively about his own career as a child actor, starring in films such as Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and The Goonies.

And perhaps the most fascinating sliver of information he revealed throughout the Oscar tour? That his Goonies co-star Jeff Cohen - who played the iconic Chunk - is in fact his entertainment lawyer, and even helped secure his deal to star in Everything Everywhere All at Once.

After The Goonies, Cohen put acting on the back-burner to pursue a legal career and later founded his own law firm, leading to him taking on his good pal Quan as a client.

Cohen was even in attendance at the Oscar's for Quan's crowd-pleasing win and received a shout-out during his acceptance speech, bringing the whole thing to heart-warming full circle.
