Cast members Josh Brolin, Joe Pantoliano, Kerri Green, and Corey Feldman as well as writer Chris Columbus were all snapped with Quan at the ceremony.

Lord Of The Rings actor Sean Astin didn’t attend the ceremony but reportedly joined the others for the premiere of Quan’s new movie Love Hurts, according to USA Today.

At the ceremony, Dune and Marvel star Brolin also gave a speech.

He said: “I’m so honoured to be here today. It’s such a wonderful story that you have.

“I hold you in a very dear place in my heart.”

He added: “I could not be happier for you. I know we all are, all us Goonies here – for an honour that is not only totally deserved, but celebrates all that is right in this industry. Love you, pal.”

Quan first starred in Indiana Jones And The Temple Of Doom, playing Short Round, and The Goonies, in the 80s, but after a few roles as a young adult he struggled to land anymore gigs and took a 19-year break from acting.

During this he worked as a stunt choreographer and assistant director.

During his speech, Brolin also read out a letter from Steven Spielberg.

He said: “Ke your whole life has been a dream come true, and you will be immortalised at the Grauman’s Theatre which is an honour bestowed upon a very few.

“So Ke, as always, I’m proud of you for your meteoric rise as a child, and your second meteoric rise as a grown-up.”
