2025’s Love Hurts has finally been released, and many viewers of the film may not have realized that it contains a major The Goonies reunion. Ke Huy Quan stars in Love Hurts, with the Academy Award winning actor continuing his action comedy streak after his big comeback in Everything Everywhere All At Once. Interestingly, Ke Huy Quan isn’t the only The Goonies alum in Love Hurts, with the film reuniting the former child star with another major actor from his past.

Jonathan Eusebio, one of the minds behind the stunts in the John Wick franchise, is making his feature directorial debut with Love Hurts, starring Ke Huy Quan as Marvin Gable. Marvin Gable seems to be a mild-mannered real estate agent, but his life is thrown into chaos when some shady figures from his past return, revealing that he was once a ᴅᴇᴀᴅly ᴀssᴀssin. The film capitalizes on Ke Huy Quan’s skills as a stuntman and comedian, with it being one of the best action movies of 2025 so far. The cast of Love Hurts features some major names, such as this second The Goonies actor.

The Goonies Stars Ke Huy Quan & Sean Astin Reunite In Love Hurts

One of the most notable facts about Love Hurts is that it reunites Ke Huy Quan with his The Goonies co-star Sean Astin. Both actors appeared in The Goonies in the early stages of their career, with Ke Huy Quan playing Data and Sean Astin playing Mikey in the 1985 classic. The Goonies‘ ensemble cast of child actors is one of the best in film history, with Sean Astin and Ke Huy Quan still acting all these years later. While both actors have been in fantastic films on their own, they have finally reunited with the release of 2025’s Love Hurts.

Ke Huy Quan and Sean Astin play very different roles in Love Hurts, with the former playing the aformentioned real estate agent and ᴀssᴀssin and the latter playing another real estate agent named Cliff Cussick. The duo are close friends in Love Hurts, with them sharing scenes together early in the film. This means that The Goonies fans won’t have to watch Love Hurts for long before they get to see the two actors reunite, with the action movie making the dreams of The Goonies lovers come true after all these years.

What Ke Huy Quan & Sean Astin Have Said About Their The Goonies Reunion In Love Hurts

We shared a lot of laughs, and also some tears as well too.” The Goonies cast had previously reunited in early 2025 in front of the TCL Chinese Theater for Ke Huy Quan’s hand-and-footprint ceremony.

Although Sean Astin hasn’t spoken on his The Goonies reunion yet, he was able to attend the premiere of Love Hurts on Monday, February 3. Astin was joined by Ke Huy Quan, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, and Corey Feldman. These recent events and interviews clearly demonstrate that there is a lot of public interest in reunions of The Goonies cast members, making the news of The Goonies 2 entering development even more exciting.

Ke Huy Quan & Sean Astin’s The Goonies Connection Makes Love Hurts Even Better
