- Ralph Macchio full interview on David Letterman (1992)
This episode of the David Letterman show aired March 18th, 1992. I hope you'll enjoy! :-)
For the fans of Ralph Macchio - here's the excerpt where he's interviewed and talks about his young looks, his soon-to-be-born first child and his new movie "My Cousin Vinny".
This video is actually two videos put together.
A BIG THANK YOU to "Nathalie Fourton" for uploading to UA-cam the full Letterman episode with all guests (from which I borrowed Ralph's interview).
A BIG THANK YOU to "MyInnerEyeInterview2" for uploading to UA-cam the last third of Ralph's interview (from which I borrowed the "My Cousin Vinny" clip).
The full David Letterman episode did for some reason not include the "My Cousin Vinny" clip in Ralph's interview, and this is why I combined the two videos.

He looks like a kid wearing his dads suit for a job interview.
Lol
Nearly choked on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich reading your comment. Thanks for that!
Didn't help that the 80s was all about "shoulder pads". Insert "Shoulder Pads Everywhere!!!!!!" meme for it because it's the truth. Even a T-shirt had shoulder pads. 😅
Ik lol
Welcome to the 80s suits were made that way back then
He looks 18 but he’s 30 in this video. Absolutely mind blowing
isn't it? he looked like a 13 year old in the outsiders and he was like 22
Seriously?! he looks like 18
That's kind of the reverse of this line in The Middle: "He's 18 but he looks 30."
Now he is almost 60 and he looks 37
and now he's almost 60 looking 30.
Someday there will be an interview where he looks 40 and he will say "I just turned 89." And I will still want to date him.
BAHAHHA ME
?

He sounds like an excited teenager
@TV Show Reviews
"sounds like" 💀
That’s a gift
Is scary thoo
Looks like it too
Ikr
I have never seen a 30-year old that sounds like a 15-year-old and looks like one too.
Howmsttf does he sound like a 15 year old? He sounds 12 or maybe 13 and his voice is just barely even starting to break.
Only other person I can think of is Dante Basco. The guy who voiced Zuko in Avatar:The Last Airbender. He was 30 when it aired.
Dude had a 30 year body and a 15 year old face
People born with hormonal issues aka endocrine issues could have a delay of pubesence.
now you have
Cant believe he's 58 now he only looks 38 .
He's 59
And you looks beautiful
He’s 60 now
Crazy time flying bye guys
No he doesn't turn 60 until later this year.
Hes almost 60 years old now and he looks like hes barely 40.
@@itsconnor8156 But he doesn't look 59. I'd say, 49 or 50.
@@itsconnor8156 well yea but he looks 20 years younger than he actually is. He doesn't look closer to 60,
I thought he was in his late 40s in cobra kai, looked it up and he was almost in his 60s I was shocked.
Mmm I would say the youngest he looks now is mid 40’s. Still has looked younger than he is, his whole life.
Nah he looks really old now but still great for his age
i physically don’t understand how he looked like 18 at 30. it’s actually insane
Well you'd amazed at how having and maintaining a slight physique make you look years younger than you actually are.
great genes tbh. I'm about to turn 30 too and I still get carded.
I’m not Italian, and I look younger than my actual age. I’m 30 now.
People think I’m in my late teens and early 20’s.
Do you mean you mentally don't understand? Lol what do you mean I physically don't understand.
Maybe he lied his age, but I’m 90% wrong.
Whenever he smiles I just blush and smile bc he’s just to cute n hot😭
Aaaw, that's so sweet
sameee
omg same😭
Are we the same person
it’s so hard to believe he’s having a kid in this video he looks like a high schooler but he’s 30
It’s true though.
Btw I’m 29 and yet I look like I’m 18 or 19.
I don’t sound like a full grown woman in her 20’s.

Jennifer Poole sorry no simping here
Baby face
I have never seen a 30 year old sound like a little kid.
He doesn’t sound like a little kid though. His voice is high pitched but not too high.
It’s kinda deep.
Anyway love him regardless.
I have always looked a lot younger,and I hated it until I hit 40..Lol
@@jennikifm2 He sounds like a 12 year old kid trying to make a deeper voice imo.SO not too little but still.

I can still hear the young Daniel Larusso in his voice.
Yeah! Me too! 👍 😍
his voice changed in the 90s from what he sounded in Karate Kid to what he sounds in cobra kai
Omg yess me too ❤️
@@Dominantshot yess!!
RexityHD: Same
Watching Cobra Kai now, years after this interview. He finally looks like a 30 year old at 58 😂
When hes 100, he'll look 70 or 69
I think he look like he’s in his 40s now. In this interview he sounds like a teen looks like he’s in his 20s. But I might be a little biased as I also come from the family of young looking. I’m 36 and always get carded when I buy beer ´cause they think I’m under 18. My older sisters are like that too. My mom was like that too. She always looked 20 years younger than she was and then around the age of 65, she suddenly aged really quickly as though she went 40 to 65 in one year, so it was a shock. I’m already “looking forward” to that sick jump.
Cobra Kai is awesome and now he stars in it also
So he skips 1 birthday every 2 years so when he's 100 he'll look 50
He looks 40
This man, at age 18 or age 60, always manages to make me grin. Such a sweetheart.
He was thirty, married, and expecting a CHILD!? GOOD LORD, he really WAS young-looking and young-sounding!
His voice is still high.

When he was 28 he looked 16

Now he’s 58, he looks 46
So then he does age... lol
At that pace he might die of natural causes when he looks 85... In 2271.

At 79 he will look 59
He looked 5 when he was 30

he looked 12 lol im not even kidding

When I was watching Cobra Kai I thought he was only in his 40s. I didn't realize he was almost 60. He's a vampire.

He used the vampire mask from jojo

Omg growing up I totally fell in love with this dude, my room was plastered from wall to wall, ground to roof posters of him, And even now in 2021 as he's grown older, his eyes still capture me . . . . (massive sigh). Cobra Kai helped me relive the memories.😊❤ Fan from Auckland New Zealand.
Thank you for sharing your fond memories & for watching! Take care & stay safe, my friend :-)

Me too. ^.^
I've been crushing on him for 5 months. I thought I would get over him in a few weeks when I first started crushing on him.
Boy was I wrong--
I had a crush on him for my entire childhood and teenage hood and now watching him in Cobra Kai, I'm still madly in love 😍
He is so ✨p r e t t y✨
No you
@@Luminous.Dynamics They are both pretty and so are you :)
He is beautiful
pretty boys >>>
Dude he always looked young for his age. He was like 22 in the first karate kid, I thought he was 15 when I saw it
it took him 8 years to look 5 years older :’)
Exactly. I literally thought he had to be at least 15 years old.
Saame, I thought he was 17 at most
it’s sad that people in their early 20s still look like a teenager
I thought he was 13 when karate kid came out
"I know, it's a phenomenon, I'm due back at the museum in half and hour."
That was an awesome quipp and everyone knew it. 😂😂😂👏👏👏
He had that planned because he got the age jabs constantly.
@@NAConen I figured.
what is the weird awkward laugh the audience gives when the karate kid says to paul "can't wait to work with you again"? Was that a quip i dont get?
@@NAConen yup lol definitely was prepared
I read once in scientific magazine that people who look younger is not just because. On average, people who look younger live more years than people who don't.
This guy has to be the slowest aging mortal in existence. Looked 15 in his 20s, 20 in his 30s, and now looks like he's 40, despite being 6 years older than Mr. Miyagi in the first film. lol
Crazy! He's 58 now and in Cobra Kai, he looks 35!

He’s adorable even to this day.

@@jennikifm2 Right😍
Because youthfulness is attractive and you know it. He's married. Met his wife during his late teens or early 20s.

They’re cute.
he was 22 when they filmed karate kid 1. I thought he was 16 at the most
Omg yes 🥵
This is really freaky. His voice sounds like a perfect middle point of how he sounded in the original karate kid and how he sounds in cobra kai.
After this Ralph did another ABC TV movie called The Last P.O.W. which is a true Vietnam war story. In one scene he’s talking to Martin Sheen’s character who asks him where he’s from, and when he answered his voice cracked (prob because at that point his character had been brutalized in captivity). It was an interesting moment…
This guy is the sweetest, most charismatic man on earth I can't get enough of him

He seems like the most down to earth actor ever.
I’m just looking at his face trying to see how he’s 30... but I just can’t
It's cracking me up I can't-
30 year olds don't necessarily have old faces u can look younger than that
This is so validating. When I don't shave (which is all the time) I also get told that I look about a decade younger than I actually am. I have always felt ashamed about it, but seeing how well Ralph wears it, I feel a bit more at peace.
As someone with a baby face, I agree that this is very validating. Almost makes me look forward to how young I could look when I get older.
Never saw any interview growing up, but had a slight crush back in the day. This dude was really grounded and raised with great values. He was in Hollywood, but still has the same wife in 2021 that he had in this video. What a blessing!
Man I wasn't even born when this interview took place!! And I look way older than him!! Damn that sucks!
I was a baby when this interview aired.
I look younger than my age since I have a baby face.
@@jennikifm2 Well I look my age wich is almost 27 but Ralph looks 20 here my face looks more mature it's funny because when I was in high school I looked way too young that my friend use to tell me dude you look too young hurry up and grow up! I didn't really do well with girls then 😅 Well that's great for you specially being a women what a charm for you to look younger
I look as young as him it's all about ur hormones and weight
He’s always been a handsome guy,I had the biggest crush on him back then 🥰
His voice finally did change in Cobra Kai.
Roger
I still love him regardless
Ganta Igarashi
Me too
He had a cold during filming, but he's ok now
Andrea Gomez: it’s more that it throws you off for a second, since they look older than they did in the movies, so their voice is something your brain goes to to see if they are “actually them”.
I feel it’s more the facial features that give it away, like how in Cobra Kai you see Johnny’s Signature stare during the “You’re the best” montage from the original movie, and then Daniel’s shrug and look away when he sees Johnny in the restaurant during the date, that’s straight from when he checks out the Cobra Kai Dojo in the original for the first time and sees Johnny’s there too.
Remember audio recording is vastly different/improved now compared to back then. So his voice will sound different today regardless.
Dang, he's 30 yet he looks and still sounds like a teenager.
I love this interview. Dave can, as we've been finding out again recently, be a prick with his questions, and Ralph does well with his responses.

LJ Annoyance
True.
No he was 21 in 1983
The Outsiders !!
Thanks Alexa !
Yeah, but look like a kid. I saw the film a few years again ago before I saw the remake. And knowing that he was 22 or 23 in the first karate kid and about thirty in the last one did nothing to alter my perception that he still looked like a kid
"Child already looks older than me. More muscle tone than I've ever had."

Ralph Macchio At 30:
Looks 19
Sounds 15
Love him. For some reason, his voice sounds lower when he was younger than now. Not sure if it is my imagination. Totally unimportant but curious. What a nice guy. His wife won the lottery.
It could be the VHS audio
All of the 80/90s actors were fine 👌🏼
I miss his old accent
What happened to his voice? It got higher with age?
He still has his accent but his voice changed sometime in the 90s and it now sounds higher so his accent seems less pronounced. Or maybe it’s just me. But yeah I miss his deep voice…it was so sexy (sigh)
@@user-ve5ln5le9y Nah I just liked the Jersey rawness to it
He definitely lost his accent since this video, and his voice is much higher now. He did musicals in the ‘90s. That’s when his voice starting getting higher-like an octave higher than when he was in karate kid.
I agree. When I was watching cobra kai I always though something was off about the way he spoke. In the Karate Kid series he had a much stronger accent even in flashbacks you could hear how distinct it was. Now he has more of a generalised American accent. Which isn’t a bad thing but it’s changed a lot
6:05 I caught that voice crack.. but, I would want to know what his skincare routine is, but I doubt he had one! He was just blessed.
“Lil thing wHere you know” that voice crack was great
Absolutely amazing and hilarious! Even his voice sounds teenage! He's being really privileged, looking like a teenager for almost 20 years and now he's unbelievable 60, he looks 30!! Freaking amazing! Lol
Ralph is so funny and charismatic. He was a young looking 30 year old and Letterman was an old looking 44 year old.
