Michaela Zee editor At the Time 100 Gala on Wednesday night, former child stars Ke Huy Quan and Drew Barrymore reunited after not having “seen each other in almost 40 years” to present Steven Spielberg with the event’s Impact Award. “Steven introduced me to this world where his imagination lived and invited me in,” Quan said. “He showed me how much fun we can have when we let our creativity be our guide.

Scientists claim they were forced to reach for their guns and open fire after a bloodthirsty troop of 5ft tall, monkey-like creatures that ambushed them in Asia.Entomologist George Brooks and Physician George Moore were travelling along the popular pilgrim route of the Gosainkunda Pass in Nepal when a large male beast led a charge of up to seven angry apes.According to the pair's account, they had become separated from their porters who were further back along the trail as they trekked to Kathmandu.The remote path tucked away in the Himalayas passes Gosainkunda Lake which Hindu and Buddhist visitors believe was formed when Shiva pierced a glacier with his trident to obtain water after swallowing a poison that threatened to destroy the world.For all its popularity since the late 19th century, some visitors claim to have encountered the legendary Yeti or another mystery species in the form of a giant ferocious monkey locals call Kra-Dhan.Whatever it was spooked hikers have seen on their travels, it was certainly enough to leave them terrified and relieved to have escaped unharmed.Moore detailed his and Brooks' harrowing experience in 1953 in an article titled “I Met the Abominable Snowman” in the May 1957 issue of Sports Afield.He said: "A hideous face thrust apart the wildly thrashing leaves and gaped at us. It was a face that seemed to extend from ear to ear and long, yellowish teeth were chattering."But those eyes, beady, yellow eyes that stared at us with obvious demoniacal cunning and anger.
