The cast of The Goonies reunited to cheer on Ke Huy Quan, 53, as he received a coveted star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The actor – who famously played Data in the hit 1985 movie – was being honoured for all of his work in the film industry.
But to help him celebrate, and to watch him leave his handprint on the famous road, his co-stars from The Goonies were there to show their support.
Corey Feldman, now 54, who famously played Mouth, was seen in good spirits as he joined the ceremony.
The actor was a huge child star in the 80s, and was known for films like Lost Boys and Stand By Me.
Marvel megastar Josh Brolin, 56, who played Brand, joined in on the celebrations.
Also at Ke Huy’s star ceremony was Kerri Green, 58, who played Andy, the quintessential ‘pretty girl’ in The Goonies.
Jeff Cohen, 50, who played the adorable Chunk showed his support.
The former actor ditched fame to become a top LA lawyer.
The group all joined in for a photo together as the reunited, 40 years after the Goonies hit cinemas.
BECOMING A STAR
Ke Huy Quan, also known as Jonathan Ke Quan, was born in Saigon in 1971 in the midst of the Vietnam War.
In 1978, when he was aged just seven, his parents decided to flee, eventually settling in America.
Ke Huy was then plucked from obscurity at the age of 12 by director Steven Spielberg to star alongside Harrison Ford in 1984 film Indiana Jones And The Temple of Doom – and he became a child star overnight.
This led to him being cast in the ultimate 80s teen movie The Goonies, as the young inventor Data.

But in Ke Huy’s early 20s the roles dried up and he quit acting to go behind the camera.
However, after making a tentative return to acting in 2021, he got his big break again when he was cast in Everything Everywhere All At Once.
OSCAR GLORY
In March 2023, Ke Huy won the Oscar for Best Supporting actor for his role in the movie.
During his acceptance speech he said: “Dreams are something you have to believe in. I almost gave up on mine.
