Cohen, 51, was also on hand in February 2025 when The Goonies cast came together to support Quan, 54, as he was honored with a hand and footprint ceremony at the TCL Chinese Theater in Los Angeles.
Along with Cohen, on deck for the celebration was the 1985 film's screenwriter Chris Columbus and costars Corey Feldman, Kerri Green and Josh Brolin. The group posed together for a number of sentimental and silly photos.

Brolin also spoke at the event, saying of Quan: "You're truly one of the last existences of the American dream. Ke Huy Quan ... I won't say much but that after The Goonies, I too lived in the ethers of our business for 19 years. The only difference is I was still chipping away at leftovers and trading stocks full time while you pursued a whole other profession and excelled in it famously."
"You have that Midas touch, my friend, and you have it because you have that heart of gold that you always have," Brolin continued.
Speaking with TooFab after the ceremony, Quan said of The Goonies: "I love that movie so much. It's one of the greatest adventures of my life. I would be so happy to revisit that character and, of course, go on another Goonies adventure with my fellow Goonies, that would be amazing!"
The Steven Spielberg-directed film follows a group of adventurous kids who take on the property development company that plans to build a country club where they live. After they discover an old pirate map in an attic, they delve into an underground cavern and face a slew of obstacles along the way.
Quan played gadget-loving inventor Data in the film, while Cohen played the lovable Chunk.
Now an attorney, Cohen negotiated Quan's contract for his Oscar-winning role in the 2022 film, Everything Everywhere All at Once. Quan publicly thanked Cohen in his acceptance speech for Best Supporting Actor, calling him his "Goonies brother for life."
