Hey, you guys! The Goonies<\/a> stars Ke Huy Quan<\/a> and Jeff Cohen have reunited.\n<\/p>\n

More than 40 years after their swashbuckling adventure, the actors both appeared on the red carpet for Michelle Yeoh’s Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony Wednesday in Los Angeles.\n<\/p>\n

Quan portrayed creative inventor Data, while Cohen played the “Truffle Shuffle”-ing Chunk in the family film about a group of kids who find a treasure map that leads them to discover the pirate ship once belonging to the storied One-Eyed Willy and his crew. The 1985 Richard Donner-directed film, written by Steven Spielberg and Chris Columbus, has become a classic.\n<\/p>\n

In addition to Quan and Cohen, the movie costarred Sean Astin, Josh Brolin, Corey Feldman, Martha Plimpton, and Kerri Green and made famous the catchy Cyndi Lauper song “The Goonies ‘R’ Good Enough.”\n<\/p>\n

Ke Huy Quan and Jeff Cohen reunited Feb. 18.<\/p>\n

Quan memorably appeared in Yeoh’s 2022 movie Everything Everywhere All at Once, for which he received the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. He thanked Cohen in his speech, because the actor-turned-lawyer had negotiated his contract for the film.\n<\/p>\n

“When the producer of our movie was trying to make my deal,” Quan recalled to The Hollywood Reporter, via the magazine, “he said he never imagined that he’d have to talk to Chunk and Data for his movie.”\n<\/p>\n

Much of the cast reunited in February 2025, when Quan himself was honored with a hand-and-footprint ceremony<\/a> at the nearby TCL Chinese Theater.\n<\/p>\n

At the time, Brolin said Quan had “that Midas touch” and “that heart of gold that you\u2019ve always had, as far back as 40 years it’s been.”\n<\/p>\n

Brolin recalled that, when they met, he was 16, and Quan was 13.\n<\/p>\n

“I could not be happier for you,” Brolin said. “I know we all are, all us Goonies, here for an honor that is not only totally deserved, but celebrates all that is right in this industry. Love you, pal.”\n<\/p>\n

Quan said then that he was more than willing to “go on another Goonies adventure with my fellow Goonies. That would be amazing!”<\/p>\n

Brolin explained in August that he’s cautiously in favor of a sequel if they can find the right idea.\n<\/p>\n

“I hope it does [happen] because the experience was so great,” Brolin told Entertainment Tonight<\/a>. “The movie is received so well, generation after generation. It’s just everything good about it. The trepidation that I have is that you release something else that taints that. I don’t want to taint what my memory of it [is].”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hey, you guys!
