Jackman recently posted a photo of himself and Quan at Kevin Feige's Hollywood Walk of Fame star ceremony. Accompanying the image was a voiceover where Jackman reminisced about their reunion. "One of the things about the movie being released is so many moments are happening that are making me appreciate the 25 years that I've been playing Wolverine," he said, referring to his latest film, 'Deadpool & Wolverine'. "I saw Ke Huy Quan -- and of course, he won an Oscar recently, and his story is incredible, and his career is incredible -- and we saw each other, and we embraced because we worked together on 'X-Men'."

Jackman praised Quan's work on the stunt team of 'X-Men', acknowledging the significant impact it had on his own career. "That's really where I learned a lot, a lot about how to do action movies, and how to do stunts, and it was just really cool to see him again and to reconnect," he shared.

Quan also commemorated their reunion by posting a photo with Jackman on social media. In his caption, he expressed his excitement about seeing 'Deadpool and Wolverine', calling it "awesome". He continued, "Ran into Hugh Jackman recently. The last time I saw him was 24 years ago on the set of 'X-Men' when he first trained as Wolverine. He is just as nice as I remembered. Huge congratulations to @thehughjackman @vancityreynolds and the entire Deadpool team on a record opening. Bravo."

'Deadpool & Wolverine' is currently in theaters, offering fans another chance to see Jackman reprise his iconic role as Wolverine.
