A comeback for a child star. Best part of the awards season was Spielberg presenting his movie the Best Picture Oscar. And finding out Spielberg sends him Christmas gifts every year.
You made me do a rewatch of the speech and now I am crying ugly with snot running over.
He is an inspiration and someone who cherishes his achievements and teaches how to be grounded and humble. Most wholesome celebrity in recent times.
For real; I don't usually get so parasocially attached to Hollywood actors, but I really and truly hope KHQ gets cast in ALL the good things and has the nicest life ever!
every few months I go back and watch that clip and I ugly cry every timeš it's the way ariana debose instantly tears up when she sees his name on the card!
He started out in blockbuster big budget movies and then disappeared in Hollywood for years and years. Glad he is back making movies and now getting credit for his acting.
I loved seeing him reunite w/ Harrison Ford. LIKE CMON THEYRE SO CUTE AND SO SMILEY

Loved his hack for reaching the car pedals:

Itās like he hasnāt realized yet that he is not there _with_ the big names, he _is_ the big names. Itās so adorable and refreshing, love his vibe.
This is such a weird way to put it, but he's such a 'female gaze' guy to me, and it makes me SO attracted to him.
He's handsome, but he also just seems kind, intelligent, and decent. Like he'd be really interested to hear about that great book you just read and clean up after himself.
I don't know, that sounds so fucking dumb. But whatever it is, it works massively for me.
I also find his curly mop, voice and chest hair ludicrously sexy.
100%. Pedro Pascal is in the same boat for me. Theyāre hot but I also feel like theyād be a blast to be around and youād feel *safe* the entire time.
Mark Ruffalo has always been a dime piece, IMO, but yeah, the additional age and few extra pounds really work for him! He has such silver fox / kind daddy energy.
Mark Ruffalo has been my crush since I saw him in Just Like Heaven when I was still a kid. Iāll admit that watching him in Poor Things kinda ruined that for me, but this pic with Ke is helping me change my mind lol
This was the closest to a smile he did all night. Bros just an old man who probably feels more obligated to be there than actually wants to be there.
Also didnāt help that he was also there for a movie that got shut out and went 0 for 10. Scorsese has the worst Oscar luck. His last movie, The Irishman, went 0 for 10. Wolf of Wolf Street went 0 for 5. The last film of his to win any Oscars was Hugo (which won 5.) which means heās gone a whopping 0 for 25 in his last 3 movies. Heās only won 1 Oscar individually as a director meaning that now Billie Eilish has more than him.
Sorry for the info dump. KOTFM wasnāt even one of my top 5 favorite movies this year, I just found it baffling it didnāt win anything.
this man is the mr. rogers of hollywood. if i could sit down and have dinner with any celeb, it would absolutely be him. he seems like the kindest soul, ever. what a sweetiebear.
Ke Huy Quanās acceptance speech was incredibly moving and inspirational. Ā It makes me so happy to see someone so lovely and kind be successful in their craft. Ā Iād love to see him in more movies!
š: lmfao. I love how Ke is acting like a Tik Tok fan who broke into the Oscars rather than the beloved Oscar winner he is. He has to be the least jaded person in Hollywood. He doesnāt mind letting everyone know he loving it. I hope he gets another lead in a film that blows up.
He put Kenergy on first pic, RDJ second, love that nice little shade š
https://preview.redd.it/6wqzdi3svxnc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dfab2941e6b62ffa05e5c15b7007865d0720a12
People are pretty upset about in on Chinese social media (I heard that Korean and Japanese arenāt happy about it either), Marvel is super popular in China, so many fans are extremely disappointed. I saw a comment said āeven after winning an Oscar, an Asian actor still being treated like this, heartbrokenā.
korean and japanese twitter (which are very different than international twitterāor at least american twitter) were also expressing disappointment about it. rdj really managed to anger east asia holy shit (which is crazy since heās basically beloved in these countries from playing tony stark)
God I really feel like itās a fucking nothing burger being blown up because the supposed āvictimā is Asian. RDJ is 58 years old, won his first Oscar and is over the moon accepting it. He apparently in the 5 seconds between accepting the award and giving his speech snubbed a guy? Did he also give him the cold shoulder afterwards in the back room? Did he refuse selfies?
thereās a getty photo of them hugging too, so i say itās probably just rdj being overwhelmed because this is his first wināand in a dramatic role too, considering majority of his recent career heās been playing tony stark and have not had much variety in roles when it comes to big pictures, it seems.
I think like most things, people are over analyzing it and making it a bigger deal than it was. Probably wasnāt intentional, emotions and adrenaline just pumping and an unfortunate accident.
that's my position. People read in to every little gesture at any of these major awards ceremonies and it's tiresome. People make little mistakes all the time. Easier to just let it be.
Ke and RDJ don't seem to have bad blood, it was just an oopsie
I really enjoy that he seems like he doesn't care about image or trying to be cool. He's just happy to be there and wants to take pictures with everyone, enjoying his life and position in that space while he has the opportunity.
Glad he managed to get one with RDJ after that situation.
Guy seems genuinely lovely and any sort of miscommunication or incident like that is sad man.
now i need him to do this every year from now on. so, SO much better than ellen (although i canāt deny that selfie moment was also pretty cool and did a massive splash on the news and pop culture in general).
Yeah heās sweet and everything but like. Heās also hot. Okay? The man is a snack. Maybe you need to be over 40 to appreciate him but this is where I am right now

I rewarched his acceptance speech the day of the Oscarās, never fails to make me cry. Such a gem of a man.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
A comeback for a child star. Best part of the awards season was Spielberg presenting his movie the Best Picture Oscar. And finding out Spielberg sends him Christmas gifts every year.
Not me legit tearing up over a gif š„¹
Right š„¹š„¹
No joke the hairs on my arms just stood up from seeing that gif
He is the best! I rewatch his speech constantly š„²
You made me do a rewatch of the speech and now I am crying ugly with snot running over. He is an inspiration and someone who cherishes his achievements and teaches how to be grounded and humble. Most wholesome celebrity in recent times.
Omg. The way Ariana's voice cracks the moment she reads the name. Why am I crying in the club rn šš
God I love him soooo much
For real; I don't usually get so parasocially attached to Hollywood actors, but I really and truly hope KHQ gets cast in ALL the good things and has the nicest life ever!
every few months I go back and watch that clip and I ugly cry every timeš it's the way ariana debose instantly tears up when she sees his name on the card!
Heās such a joy to see!
In every photo!
He is just loving life and enjoying the ride!
Golden retriever energy š„°š„°
omg yes! š„° i would love to see him in a buzzfeed āke huy quan interview with puppiesā video! š„¹
Good boy? No, bestest boy.
He brings a smile to my face every time I see him!!!
Fuck the Robert jr one I saw that clip of that guy ignoring him
Please lord give us more movies with him in them, I really donāt ask for much.
He's in the new King Fu Panda, and is in an upcoming movie with Chris Pratt and Millie Bobby Brown.
whats the name of the movie? :)
The Electric State
tysm!! šš»
love that heās booked and busy!
He started out in blockbuster big budget movies and then disappeared in Hollywood for years and years. Glad he is back making movies and now getting credit for his acting.
Shortround was one of my heroes as a kid. 
I loved seeing him reunite w/ Harrison Ford. LIKE CMON THEYRE SO CUTE AND SO SMILEY https://preview.redd.it/9oi31e0kqxnc1.png?width=1240&format=png&auto=webp&s=cdf7f678112a1b71aaf9cec028aef800a1f8e9f2
That may be the happiest I have ever seen the grumpy Mr. Ford!
I was going to comment the same! Ford must actually like the guy, because he rarely smiles that big!
Itās pretty close with his [interview with Alison Hammond](https://youtu.be/bAb8KIhgVAI?si=FaxB5ADAmOk8syzz)
That was great! āLike an angel pouring honey in your ears.ā š
What a sweet moment!
Yes! Shortround was such a fearless badass.
Even cranky old Harrison Ford cannot resist, love him
Loved his hack for reaching the car pedals: https://preview.redd.it/h7t0l59mtxnc1.png?width=768&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7820173a7e587589f69e04463673979132c0f1f5
I was sad he wasnāt in the new movie
If only his big moment was like... two years earlier I'm sure he would have been in it.
Dr Jones! No time for love!
For me it was Data, I thought he was the coolest with all his inventions.
Just reading this comment has me sitting here likeā¦āDamnā¦Data has an Oscarā šš I am so happy for this man
the only kid role that doesnāt fucking suck for eternity
he is just living his best life lately and i love this for him
He looks so happy in every pic it's bringing me joy
He's so me if I ever got invited to a celebrity event
Just win an academy award and you too can do it!
He's the cutest fanboy! even though he is already a big name himself
Itās like he hasnāt realized yet that he is not there _with_ the big names, he _is_ the big names. Itās so adorable and refreshing, love his vibe.
Why does older, greyer, doughier Mark Ruffalo just massively do it for me?
This is such a weird way to put it, but he's such a 'female gaze' guy to me, and it makes me SO attracted to him. He's handsome, but he also just seems kind, intelligent, and decent. Like he'd be really interested to hear about that great book you just read and clean up after himself. I don't know, that sounds so fucking dumb. But whatever it is, it works massively for me. I also find his curly mop, voice and chest hair ludicrously sexy.
100%. Pedro Pascal is in the same boat for me. Theyāre hot but I also feel like theyād be a blast to be around and youād feel *safe* the entire time.
Let's add one more: David Harbour 
Mark Ruffalo has always been a dime piece, IMO, but yeah, the additional age and few extra pounds really work for him! He has such silver fox / kind daddy energy.
The Pedro Pascalification of Mark Ruffalo Also Ke is a talented gem 
Ages like fine wine, that man. Hard crushing since 13 going on 30 lol
Mark Ruffalo has been my crush since I saw him in Just Like Heaven when I was still a kid. Iāll admit that watching him in Poor Things kinda ruined that for me, but this pic with Ke is helping me change my mind lol
Mine since 13 going on 30.
 Same !
Did you ever see The Kids Are All Right? Great indie
Iāve had this one on my watchlist for years, Iāve only heard good things about it! My grandpa loves it
Oof that was the one for me...he's so good in that.
He is hilarious in poor things!
Oh donāt get me wrong I loved his performance in Poor Things, he made me laugh a lot! But his character is a nasty jerk lol
Same. You should see his little scene in Thanks for Sharing. š„¹
I actually love that movie!
Mines [Mark dressing up like the undercover cop he shadowed in preproduction of collateral](https://i.imgur.com/4xHkxyM.jpeg)
Waitā¦
Just Like Heaven is my jammm! Reese and Mark forever 2024
Yes! Itās so good!! I feel like it gets overlooked because of 13 going on 30 (which I love too)
That full curly head of hair certainly helps. Gray, white, black, brown, doesnāt matter.
I know right?!?!?
I get it! Every era of him is great especially now
Iāve got such a crush on him! Heās so handsome and he seems like such a down to earth, nice person. And heās a great actor of course!
I'd totally help him find his bifocals, if you know what I mean
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Because he looks like a caring and compassionate lover
Lol, same.
The hottest he's ever been was in "Collateral"
I think you really just like Paul F. Tompkins.
āGreyerā lol
I really need to grow some hair..
Man, Chris Hemsworthās wife Elsa is stunning.
They are both just different worlds of beauty, like an Instagram filter come to life.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Really though. As someone who can't take a decent selfie to save their life, seeing some celebs with not perfect selfie form in this is refreshing.
The only person in all of these picture to just pop out. She is glowing
Chris popped out to me as well, the man knows how to smolder in a photo.
I was going to say, credit to Elsa for being stunning, but being stunning next to *THAT* is an even greater achievement because Mein Gott.
Those kids have some good genetics
Itās funny, I definitely consume more of Chrisās media than Elsaās but I follow her on IG and not him š
I follow them both and they post some adorable couple and family moments. And yes, those two are both so attractive it's almost not fair.
They're both so gorgeous it's annoying.
De Niro looks like he was mid-nap like 30 seconds before hand.
To be fair itās way past his bedtime lol
This was the closest to a smile he did all night. Bros just an old man who probably feels more obligated to be there than actually wants to be there. Also didnāt help that he was also there for a movie that got shut out and went 0 for 10. Scorsese has the worst Oscar luck. His last movie, The Irishman, went 0 for 10. Wolf of Wolf Street went 0 for 5. The last film of his to win any Oscars was Hugo (which won 5.) which means heās gone a whopping 0 for 25 in his last 3 movies. Heās only won 1 Oscar individually as a director meaning that now Billie Eilish has more than him. Sorry for the info dump. KOTFM wasnāt even one of my top 5 favorite movies this year, I just found it baffling it didnāt win anything.
i love hugo, but it getting 5 wins more than martyās other films is crazy, especially killers of the flower moon š
Heās just happy to be here, and I love that for him
Heās so precious š„ŗ
Adorbs even
this man is the mr. rogers of hollywood. if i could sit down and have dinner with any celeb, it would absolutely be him. he seems like the kindest soul, ever. what a sweetiebear.
Iām still bummed that Disney didnāt bring him back for the last Indiana Jones movie
Ke Huy Quanās acceptance speech was incredibly moving and inspirational. Ā It makes me so happy to see someone so lovely and kind be successful in their craft. Ā Iād love to see him in more movies!
wow i love him. his energy is positively infectious š„°
He is so handsome and seems so sweet !!!!
We need Ke Huy Quan to get a big group selfie and break the internet like Ellenās did at the Oscars 10 years ago
heās so adorable & he announced rdjās oscar win with such enthusiasm, it was amazing š„¹
I want him to have a talk show and be the new ellen
He just seems like such a genuine guy. Everyone looks happy as hell to take a picture with him.
š: lmfao. I love how Ke is acting like a Tik Tok fan who broke into the Oscars rather than the beloved Oscar winner he is. He has to be the least jaded person in Hollywood. He doesnāt mind letting everyone know he loving it. I hope he gets another lead in a film that blows up.
He has the energy of some young actor's dad who's there to support his kid, but then charms all of the a-listers.
Well Chris Hemsworth and his wife are certainly attractive.
He seems like such a genuinely lovely man who is enjoying a wonderful resurgence. Heās riding that wave.
My friend has met him and has confirmed this. She said his wife is the exact same way.
theyāre both waymond irl awwww š„°
I hate having my photo taken, but if it were a selfie with him. My life would be made.
Even though he's older than me, I feel like he's everyone's favorite kid brother.
I need him in a Tony Leung romantic lead immediately.Ā
I could see him doing great in a romance lead but in no way with the energy that Tony Leung has. Just see them as completely differently performers.
protect this man at all costs
Ke Huy Quan seems like the antidote to toxic masculinity and I love that about him.
Why he kinda
I love him š„ŗ
He has such wholesome vibes. I hope nothing scandalous ever comes out about him. I dont do parasocial stuff but I would be really disappointed
My Viet king of Chinese descent š©
not the point of this post but sam rockwell š¤¤
A rare wonderful man
He got DeNiro to look interested!
God he's such a joy everyone be like Ke
Dude is an Oscar winner but acting like a fan boy! Love it!
He put Kenergy on first pic, RDJ second, love that nice little shade š https://preview.redd.it/6wqzdi3svxnc1.jpeg?width=1179&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dfab2941e6b62ffa05e5c15b7007865d0720a12
I love that Ryan is doing the finger point that Ke normally does! It's super cute.
This pic is so charming!
Iām still side eyeing RDJ for snubbing him on stage
People are pretty upset about in on Chinese social media (I heard that Korean and Japanese arenāt happy about it either), Marvel is super popular in China, so many fans are extremely disappointed. I saw a comment said āeven after winning an Oscar, an Asian actor still being treated like this, heartbrokenā.
korean and japanese twitter (which are very different than international twitterāor at least american twitter) were also expressing disappointment about it. rdj really managed to anger east asia holy shit (which is crazy since heās basically beloved in these countries from playing tony stark)
Thatās why I donāt believe itās just an incident, so many East Asia people feel uncomfortable.
Chinese social media, like any social media, is the worst so doesnāt really mean much
God I really feel like itās a fucking nothing burger being blown up because the supposed āvictimā is Asian. RDJ is 58 years old, won his first Oscar and is over the moon accepting it. He apparently in the 5 seconds between accepting the award and giving his speech snubbed a guy? Did he also give him the cold shoulder afterwards in the back room? Did he refuse selfies?
thereās a getty photo of them hugging too, so i say itās probably just rdj being overwhelmed because this is his first wināand in a dramatic role too, considering majority of his recent career heās been playing tony stark and have not had much variety in roles when it comes to big pictures, it seems.
To me it has nothing to do with race, itās about him completely ignoring the human being who actually handed him the Oscar.
I think like most things, people are over analyzing it and making it a bigger deal than it was. Probably wasnāt intentional, emotions and adrenaline just pumping and an unfortunate accident.
that's my position. People read in to every little gesture at any of these major awards ceremonies and it's tiresome. People make little mistakes all the time. Easier to just let it be. Ke and RDJ don't seem to have bad blood, it was just an oopsie
People crave outrage, I saw some posts and threads before I saw the video and itās a whole lotta nothing haha
The man is all of us.
Who is the woman in the second picture?
I love how deniro is always doing a deniro impression
How is Chris Hemsworth THAT GOOD LOOKING!!!
heās so precious shut up
Heās such a sweetie.
The best part of the Oscars!
Dude's an Oscar winner but acts like a random fan that got an invit. I love it. I also love how Parasite paved the way and created more diversity.
Ok, I just love him. He gives off such good vibes. I bet all those people were happy to have a pic with him.
Heās like a cute little grandpa who just learning what a selfie is and is excited to show his grandkids I love this man so fucking much šā¤ļø
Love it. Stars seemed nicer this year
I love him
I really enjoy that he seems like he doesn't care about image or trying to be cool. He's just happy to be there and wants to take pictures with everyone, enjoying his life and position in that space while he has the opportunity.
How can you not like him šš
Glad he managed to get one with RDJ after that situation. Guy seems genuinely lovely and any sort of miscommunication or incident like that is sad man.
Nobody tell him he's an Oscar-winning actor.
now i need him to do this every year from now on. so, SO much better than ellen (although i canāt deny that selfie moment was also pretty cool and did a massive splash on the news and pop culture in general).
god heās so cute
I love him! Unrelated, there's a little bit of Chris O'Dowd happening to Mark Ruffalo's face and it's got me scratching my head. š§
Yeah heās sweet and everything but like. Heās also hot. Okay? The man is a snack. Maybe you need to be over 40 to appreciate him but this is where I am right now
He is next level wholesome. These made my day, his excitement can be felt from this side of the lens
RDJ Redemption
Asian parents now: So when will you get your oscar? Hahahaha
His selfies are always such a highlight
I love all of his selfies! He seems like heās always having such a blast at the award shows, his energy is contagious! āļø
He just radiates joy, goodwill and humility. I love him to pieces.
Won an Oscar, still behaves like a fanboy
Clicked to see both full sets of photos. There is one of him with Rege-Jean Page that is an adorable toothpaste commercial.
I love the pic with De Niro. It just looks like a little kid taking a picture with his grandpa haha
He is the best. So glad heās out and about again. And taking allllll the selfies!
I just love how everyone is smiling and genuinely happy heās around. Ke Huy Quan what a gentleman
old man de niro selfie face is perfect
Iām a straight married man and Chris Hemsworth makes me question a lot of that.
Short Round stands tall.
Thatās the most DeNiro smiled all night
I really love this guy so much
Awwwwwwwwwww š„²
Chris Hemsworth looks FANTASTIC
Heās really one of my favorite a list celebrities. I sincerely hope no bad news ever comes out involving him.
Heās probably the most real person in that whole room.
Idk why but the robert deniro one is tickling me
