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.

GettyHe later won an Oscar for his role in Everything Everywhere All At Once[/caption]
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.

1 week agoNews 1Comments Off on Who could replace Zelensky if he resigns in war deal? From boxer Klitschko to ‘Iron General’ & millionaire Putin stooge
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?
Vitali Klitschko – Heavyweight champion

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.
Valery Zaluzhny – The Iron General
Valery Zaluzhny is known for defending Kyiv
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.
Viktor Medvedchuk – Putin’s Man

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.
Kyrylo Budanov – Ukraine’s top spy

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.
Petro Poroshenko – Former President

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.
