THE White Lotus fans were gobsmacked as an Oscar winning star made a surprise cameo – did you spot him?
Airing on HBO, the anthology comedy-drama has become a huge hit since launching in 2021.
In fact, its latest episode featured a cameo from Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan.
The Everything Everywhere All At Once star, 53, voiced “Kenny”, who viewers hear over the phone.
Earlier the story, Timothy (Jason Isaacs) is reached out to by journalists enquiring about a shady financial situation he may have been involved in years ago.
He then leaves former business partner Kenny a voicemail – and in the following episode, Kenny, voiced by Quan, calls him back.
The two characters share a profane, frantic conversation revealing their past history.
Angry at being caught up in “some money laundering bribery situation”, Timothy fumed: “You told me this couldn’t happen. You f*****g swore that this couldn’t happen.”
To which Kenny responded: “I didn’t think some whistleblower b***h in my office was going to rat me out to the media and the f*****g FBI.”
The scene ended with Timothy vowing: “I swear to god, Kenny, if you f**k me on this, I will kill you. I will f*****g kill you, you hear me?”
However, Ke Huy Quan’s name does not appear in the episode credits or on IMDb.
One fan wrote on X: “Is that Ke Huy Quan??!! #TheWhiteLotus.”
Another added: “I know for sure that was Ke Huy Quan.”
The actor first rose to prominence in the 80s – with starring roles in two major films.
In 1984, he starred as “Short Round” opposite Harrison Ford in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom.
A year later, Quan took on the role of Data in children’s classic The Goonies.
Although he continued acting until 2002, the star later embarked on a 19-year hiatus.
He first returned to acting in 2021 Netflix film Finding ‘Ohana.
However, his performance as Waymond Wang in Everything Everywhere All at Once ended up being highly acclaimed.
It won Quan the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, as well as a Golden Globe.
Later, he starred opposite Tom Hiddleston in the Marvel Comics TV series Loki.
VOLODYMYR Zelensky’s potential successors could be preparing their campaigns to be the leader of Ukraine.
After Donald Trump slammed him as a “dictator”, the brave president said on Sunday he would step down if Ukraine could join Nato – thereby securing its defence.
That’s left ambitious Ukrainians rubbing their hands at the thought of being taking the top job – but who could fill the very large shoes left by Zelensky?
Former heavyweight boxing world champion Vitali Klitschko is the current mayor of Kyiv.
The 6ft 7in giant has led the capital through constant Russian bombing, was a key figure in the Euromaidan protests, and has been in office since all the way back since 2008.
With a 47-2 boxing record, he is 8-2 on elections he has fought.
Klitschko has also shown ambition to lead the country and was set to run for President in 2014 before he dropped out and endorsed Petro Poroshenko.
The boxer has led the city through daily bombardments by Russian drones and has become a powerful symbol of the city’s defence joining the territorial defence forces.
Like Zelensky, Klitschko would be a strong pro-European leader that Vladimir Putin would hate.
Zaluzhny led the defence of Kyiv at the start of the war when Russia sent its special forces to their death at Hostomel Airport.
Russia then tried to take Kyiv from the north by sending an Army from Belarus.
But the Iron General Zeluzhny – who is known for thinking outside of the box – was able to beat Putin’s best troops by outfoxing them.
Doing so, he built a cult status in Ukraine and is currently the country’s ambassador to London.
Not all those running for President could be pro-European.
Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk is the godfather to Putin’s youngest daughter.
He was an important interlocutor between Moscow and Kyiv and backs a pro-Russian political party with several television stations he owns.
In 2021, he was arrested on suspicion of supporting Russian separatists – with the oligarch denying any wrongdoing.
The move is said to have infuriated Putin and was seen as one of the possible reasons he launched his invasion.
He was stripped of his Ukrainian citizenship and traded to Russia, but Putin could insist he is allowed to contest the election as part of a peace deal.
Moscow could then back Medvedchuk with unlimited money and get its propaganda troll farms in behind the oligarch.
Ukraine’s military intelligence chief has been instrumental in keeping Kyiv one step ahead of Moscow.
Kyrylo Budanov has been able to get Ukrainian agents inside Russia who have then been able to sabotage key oil pipelines and train routes.
Just 39 years old, the spy boss has also been ruthless in fooling Russians to carry out attacks on their own country.
Budanov has also run his own information trickery – which could make him the perfect politician.
In 2023, he speculated that Putin could even be dead after photos showed the tyrant with a different-looking chin.
Former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko and billionaire chocolatier led the country between 2014 and 2019
He came to power following the Euromaidan protests and ran the country following Putin’s first invasion in 2014.
Last year, he said he would run for president again, but only after there was peace in the country.
Poroshenko has remained in the public eye visiting troops on the front line, organising donations, and doing press interviews as the war has gone on.
History has a funny way of repeating itself in the gaming industry. Just two months after CD Projekt Red’s controversial announcement about The Witcher 4, Insomniac Games finds itself walking a similarly thorny path with Marvel’s Spider-Man 3. Both beloved franchises are shifting focus from their iconic protagonists, but while one studio’s approach has fans ready to […]

KYLIE Jenner skipped attending the SAG Awards with Timothee Chalamet, after the death of her glam squad ember Jesus Guerrero.
Actor Timothee, 29, looked visibly shocked as his name was called and he won the best male actor announcement.
His girlfriend Kylie has been accompanying him to awards ceremonies that he’s been attending for his portrayal as Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.
But the Kardashian’s star was noticeably absent from the SAG Awards, after the death of Jesus Guerrero – which was revealed on Sunday 23 February.
Instead, Timothee attended the awards ceremony with his mother, Nicole Flender.
The Los Angeles-based hairdresser, 34, who had a close bond with the Kardashians alum, has now “gone to Heaven” according to his sister Gris.
Jesus’ cause of death has not yet been revealed, with make-up mogul Kylie, 27, also not releasing a public tribute as yet.
Kylie Jenner has not posted on social media since the heartbreaking news was announced.
On Saturday, Jesus’ younger sister Gris released an emotional statement confirming the passing of the Texas native – and revealing the family had set up a GoFundMe page in his honor.
She wrote in her emotional message: “My name is Gris, Jesus’s younger sister.
“It is with a heavy heart that we let the world know that Jesus Guerrero has gone to heaven.
“He is a son, a brother, an uncle, an artist, a friend, and so much more.”
She added: “Born and raised in Houston, TX to immigrant parents, Jesus learned how to work hard and dreamt of taking his skills to the top.
“Unfortunately, his passing came very suddenly and unexpectedly.
“Currently, his family is taking care of his personal belongings and accommodations to bring him home to Houston.
“We hope that you find it in your heart to help in any way and/or share this GoFundMe.”
Jesus’ tragic passing came after his trip with his “main girly” Kylie in January.
He took to his Instagram grid to upload a snap showing the pair posing for a mirror selfie, as well as a slew of Kylie’s stunning looks.
On January 7, Kylie ‘liked’ an image he posted of her Golden Globes hairstyle, which left one fan gushing: “You are KILLING it with her hair recently!!!”
Previously, the Kylie Cosmetics founder joked about a haircut from her close pal and quipped on her page: “@jesushair said he was giving me a trim and cut off all my hair.”
His most recent Instagram post, uploaded on February 3, showcased a collection of his hairstyles for famous faces at the Grammy’s.
Jesus was also known for styling J-Lo and Katy Perry‘s locks, creating the later’s infamous spiked style last year.
Matt Damon’s 2016 film Jason Bourne took a long time to happen, and while it performed well at the box office, the reviews had not been favorable. For a sequel as highly anticipated as this one, surely there’s something in it that at least made a lot of fans swoon. Indeed, Damon finally did one […]

MATT WILLIAMS warned Ireland that Antoine Dupont “is like nothing I’ve ever seen” following his latest heroics for France.
The Toulouse scrum-half was in typically magnificent form for Les Bleus in their 73-24 win over Italy at the weekend, scoring two tries.
It keeps Fabien Galthie’s side in the Six Nations conversation, and with a trip to Ireland to come on March 8.
Simon Easterby‘s men are chasing a third Championship on the trot, while they remain on course for a second Grand Slam in three years after beating Wales at the weekend.
However, former Leinster and Ulster coach Matt Williams warned they will come up against an all-time great in Antoine Dupont.
He was speaking on Virgin Media following France’s hammering of Italy.
And he said: “My dad’s been dead for a long time but he told me my grandfather took him to see the great Don Bradman play.
“He was the greatest cricketing batsman of all time.
“My grandfather said to him, ‘you’ve got to see him because there is going to be no one else like him in your life.’
“Take your kids to see Dupont. he is like nothing I’ve ever seen.
“I look back on the old videos of Gareth Edwards – legendary try for the Barbarians against the All Blacks in 1973.
“I would love to sit down with [ex-Ireland and Lions lock] Willie John McBride and ask him, ‘Mr McBride, what do you think? Him, Gareth Edwards, or Dupont?’
“He does it for Toulouse, he does it for France, he does it every time he goes out on the field.”
In 2024, Dupont stepped away from rugby XVs to switch to play for the France 7s at the Paris Olympics.
The move paid off in a big way, as the 28-year-old inspired his country to a gold medal.
He added that accolade to four Top14 titles and two European Champions Cups for Toulouse, and the 2022 Six Nations.
In 2021, meanwhile, he was named World Rugby Men’s XVs Player of the Year.
And due to his heroics at the Olympics, he was named 2024 World Rugby Men’s 7s Player of the Year.
Williams added: “He wins an Olympic gold medal at sevens, scores three tries in four minutes in the final to win the gold medal!
“No one does this.”
