Loki star Ke Huy Quan passed on new action-comedy Love Hurts twice because he "didn't know why they were reaching out" to him

Ke Huy Quan as Marvin Gable in Love Hurts.

Despite winning an Oscar for his performance in action-packed comedy-drama Everything Everywhere All at Once, there was a time when Ke Huy Quan couldn't work out why 87North Productions, the team behind John Wick and Bullet Train, wanted him to lead their next film, Love Hurts.

I thought it was written for a different type of actor. I actually passed on it.
