Ralph Macchio & His Karate Kid

Ralph Macchio & His Karate Kid

Ralph Macchio, 48, attended the Los Angeles premiere of The Karate Kid with his 14-year-old son Daniel on Monday (June 7). Ralph and his wife of 23 years, Phyllis, are also parents to 17-year-old daughter Julia.

Ralph and Pat Morita were the stars of the original Karate Kid film, which reached incredible popularity in the '80s. Jaden Smith and Jackie Chan have some huge shoes to fill!

Ralph talked about the moment Daniel discovered he was once a teen idol:

One of my favorite moments was when my son found a whole bunch of newspaper clippings and magazines when he was 7, and didn’t know I was in the business. He came up, and was like ‘oh my God, dad was huge, and we missed it!’"

Do you think the new Karate Kid will be as good as the first?

OMG He doesn't look his age at all. He still looks the same age as he did in the Karate Kid.

His son looks older than him. I loved the original Karate Kid trilogy so I don't think I will see the remake if it's no good I will only compare it to the original and that would ruin it for me.

HE'S 48?!?!?!?! No freaking way! He doesn't look a day over 30! Wow!

No I don't think the new Karate Kid will be as good as the original. I mean how can you top that? It was fabulous!

Are ya'll blind or what? Don't get me wrong, I too am a big fan of the original. But, I can't wait to see this new movie. Ralph is right, this new movie is a celebration of the original. That means it has to be at its best. Who else could bring it like Jackie Chan and Jaden Smith. Jackie Chan is a master in the and he is an amazing actor. And Jaden has arleady shown his talent on the big screen. He is a minuiture version of his father. So all you die hard KK fans just relax and enjoy it as being what it is: the same story just different character names, martial art style, and setting.
