Director Jonathan Eusebio says Ke Huy Quan's emotional attachment to his hard-won Everything Everywhere All at Once Oscar inspired an epic Love Hurts fight scene in which Quan's character risks his life to protect his "real estate agent of the year" award.

A last-ditch return to acting in his late 40s led to a heart-melting role in 2022’s action comedy "Everything Everywhere All at Once" and then — astoundingly — an Oscar win for best supporting actor. It was a fairy tale moment, and Quan’s emotional acceptance speech was hugely moving. Now comes the hard part: Sustaining a career.

Moviefone speaks with Lio Tipton about 'Love Hurts'. I saw how much space there was to have fun and that's what drew me to the script, Tipton said.

Directed by Jonathan Eusebio, with a screenplay written by Matthew Murray, Josh Stoddard and Luke Passmore, Love Hurts stars Quan as a former hit man named Marvin Gable, who’s launched a new career for himself as a successful realtor. But as any former hitman in any movie ever can tell you, the past never stays in the past.

From child star to Oscar winner, Ke Huy Quan is one of Hollywood's best comeback stories. It isn't done: He's got his first lead role in "Love Hurts."

It's movie time, and an Oscar contender is truly, to me, the best movie that we'll talk about this week. We see Ke Huy Quan in a lead role, finally, in "Love Hurts."
