Hugh Jackman Reunites with Ke Huy Quan After 24 Years

The two actors reflect on their time together on X-Men and their recent encounter at Kevin Feige’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony

Hugh Jackman recently shared a heartwarming story about reuniting with Ke Huy Quan, 24 years after they first worked together on X-Men, where Jackman debuted as Wolverine.

Jackman posted a photo of himself and Quan at Kevin Feige’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony. In a voiceover, he recounted their reunion after more than two decades.

“One of the things about the movie being released is so many moments are happening that are making me appreciate the 25 years that I’ve been playing Wolverine,” said the Les Misérables star about Deadpool & Wolverine. “I saw Ke Huy Quan — and of course, he won an Oscar recently, and his story is incredible, and his career is incredible — and we saw each other, and we embraced because we worked together on X-Men.”

Jackman explained that Quan, who now stars in Loki, was part of the stunt team for the 2000 film. “That’s really where I learned a lot, a lot about how to do action movies, and how to do stunts, and it was just really cool to see him again and to reconnect,” he said.

Quan also shared their reunion on social media, posting one of his famous selfies with Jackman. He captioned it, “Ran into Hugh Jackman recently. The last time I saw him was 24 yrs ago on the set of X-Men when he first trained as Wolverine. He is just as nice as I remembered. Huge congratulations to @thehughjackman @vancityreynolds and the entire Deadpool team on a record opening. Bravo.”
