Ralph Macchio Talks About His Series ‘Cobra Kai’ | TODAY
ralph turns 100:
people: he looks like he is 58
This man is 58 years old.
I mean, does he EVER age?????
You’re 58 years old, mate, if anyone is...
Whatttttttt i though he was in his 40s
And still looks dam good
Vampire
When you're young you hate having a baby face then one day you wake up and realize it was a blessing all along
facctttttsss
Ralph Macchio today looks like a teenager who pulled an all-nighter
Is it just me or he looks like he’s 30?
It's you
Ikr like he’s 58
Haha it's not just you. He was like 26 playing a 16-year-old in karate kid. He's always looked way younger than his age
Kalinka Laovia actually, he was 22
@Vise Versa No, that's not true. People his age look far older then he does, so that just proves you wrong. People smoked like nobody's business, didn't wear sunscreen and white women were always in a tanning bed. He looks young because it's his genetics, he has said all his family looks super young as well.
Jesus Christ he hasn't aged at all.
Nah, it's the web cam software face smoothing feature.
Roger nah he looked younger than his actual age in the series cobra Kai
Watch the series.
No, He hasn’t. He’s probably up in Heaven finishing up the final touches, and getting ready to bring the Judgement Day 🔨 down on this crap hole of a planet. At least we’ve got Cobra Kia!
@@kylelavelle8082 amen
Cobra Kai is THE BEST THING on paid TV in this crappy 21st century. I’m generation X and i know my fellow gen X friends who grew up with the Karate Kid and all will agree. Ralph and company did a great job in bringing back the gold from the past and made it fresh and relevant in today’s world. Yep some things never change and that’s why the Karate kids will always be there. Thank you Ralph Macchio and the rest of the old and new cast for the work that you’re doing . Can’t wait for season 3!

It really is. The way they took the blatant bullying from the first movie and made it relevant to today was amazing. I also love how they address that people need to stand up for themselves. -Balance- lol.
Miyagi would be proud of Larusso
RIP Pat Morita (1932-2005)
Well considering his student put another boy in coma I'd say he would say something like "daniel san, you lost balance..."
@@Avm371998 it wasn't daniel's fault that robbie put a boy inside a coma also i think robbie got caught in the heat of the moment it is really difficult to calm down in that particular situation, he did not do it on purpose i don't think so
He was very serious in those movies but oh so funny in real life... what an amazing ACTOR !!!! RIP
Nice to see a Hollywood non-screw up always was a good kid turned out to be a great man
Cobra Kai is a good series i highly recommend it. It got the essence and atmosphere of the movie somehow, like it's very well put.
Hits the nostalgia also...
The thing is, Ralph and Billy are such super nice guys, and they play really complicated darker characters. They're such amazing actors. Great show (and great writing, of course!)
They're friends in real life as both are from Long Island.
I love Ralph! He hung on my walls when I was a teenager. Can’t wait for Season 3.
Dying for season 3
Hes a bully and instigator
Stephen Fox you’re a female
@@thepenetrator2006 no
@@rumblefish9 yes see the video on youtube.
Remember folks this man was 22 when making the first karate kid and he looked like a 14 year old in that film 😂
I love this show. So glad they created it. I love Ralph Macchio.
I am convinced he is immortal. 58 and still looks so young,
This guy still is the best around, does anything ever get him down???
Heaps of people claim that johnny was the real kar8 kid though, they can't explain their own reasoning behind it all except making excuses for johnny plus his cobra 🐍 kai karate cohorts extremely bad behaviour plus antics
I have binged for 2 nights and just finished season 1. I am such an 80's girl so I absolutely love it. Both of the older guys look amazing. Now I want to watch the movies over again! Lol
I was going to do that too but they removed the movies off netflix lol guess I'll have to find a working vcr and bust out them old vhs tapes we recorded from HBO back in the day 😂
We here in Finland's Netflix have Karate Kid 1 & 2, but not 3 😎🤠🔥🙌
@@mikereyes2488 what? When did they remove them? My kids were coming over to watch them this weekend.
@@tracyadams2731 I believe on the first of this month, after completing Cobra Kai I was going to watch but it wasn't listed, I was bummed! It's on Starz tho (ugh) 😕
I'm almost 20 years younger than him but I look older than him.
Some of us just get lucky. I'm 40. Clean shaved, get carded every time.
@@brasstacksboxing409 I'm 41 and regularly have people in shock that I'm not a teenager. I don't drink so don't get carded but people say I look 18 or 19.
@@brasstacksboxing409 I’m 45, and people at work think I’m in my late 20’s. In a work environment, that’s more problematic than a blessing. I feel like I need to carry my resume and my 20+ years of experience with me all the time.
@@vgnvideogameninja2930 dont drink either. But, any time I try to get in an adult club or comedy joint, it never fails..
Cobra Kai is going to strike Netflix tomorrow.
Been watching it
Just binged it. Fawken goood af
@@hanzsecarice1533 same
Just finished and waiting for season 3
Kam Kam I watched all of the season 1-2 it was so good, the ending of season 2 was awesome but not so awesome cause of what happened to Miguel
Love the show super addicting. Even went back to watch the movies when I finished it
love him forever. And Cobra Kai, best series ever.
If Macchio looks this good at 58 I wonder how he'll look at age 90.
He'll look 58 at 90.
my mums 60 and looks way older then he does
Probably the best show I seen since 10 years ago it's a great story line and it well definitely keep u watching. Thank you for coming out with this show!
Best show I’ve seen in a long time. Happy Netflix picked this up. It deserves to be seen by so many more.
One thing I can see this show has definitely gained a new generation🙏
If you are a fan of the Karate Kid this series does not disappoint!! Loved it and would love to see Elisabeth Shue make a cameo in season 3!!
I wouldn't! Shes bad mouthed karate kid for years in multiple interviews. She doesn't deserve to be part of the series but she probably will be anyway.
@@sliderx1897 well she might appear the showrunners confirmed that Karate kid 4 is canon with pnly Jaden Smith version being ignored.
I watched all 20 episodes over the weekend (Friday-Sunday) and I am ready for Season 3.
Best show on TV! Ralph Macchio is still the man! :)
Gosh...it's so good to see him. Stay well, Ralph!
It's crazy that Ralph is now the same age as Pat Morita when they starred in the original 1984 movie.
Actually Pay was like 52 when he did Karate Kid, Ralph is nearly 60 (58 as of now) filming Cobra Kai
Edit: nvm he was about 54 or 55 when they worked on Cobra Kai, still cool tho 👍
Absolutely loved the first 2 Sesons can't wait for the 3rd
Just finnished to watch this great show!! Cant wait for season 3.
Crazy that he was 22 when he did The Karate Kid
22 with his wife and two kid...smh.
I love Cobra Kai, I like how they switched things around, and now we cheer for Johnny this time. He’s always been a good guy who made bad decisions because he was influenced by an awful man. Great series.
Ralph is now older than Pat Morita was when they filmed the first Karate Kid movie.
By 6 years!
I hope Daniel can find his ways again, and I hope Daniel can help Johnny get rid of cease
Yes! The final season needs to be these two as a full on team up. The parts where they buddy up are great.
I love Ralph i can not believe hes almost 60 yrs old he looks amazing looks 40 yrs old to me. And love the new show Cobra kia.
Love the comeback! My teenage years are back! Binge watching!
I’m amazed watching clips of interviews how articulate and compelling Macchio, Zabka, and Kove are. Their answers in these Q&As are woven with a storyteller’s skill. They hit all the marks, and keep you wanting to learn more. They know their craft, and they clearly cherish the Karate Kid legacy. It’s a pleasure to watch this series success.
My family binged watched it over the weekend and it was great! We all can't wait to watch another episode as soon as we get home! Looking forward to more seasons to come!
Damm I'm hooked on this. Been watching it at work, while doin the dishes, watching on couch. It's good.
Ralph M and Tom Cruise are Vampires.
Crispin Glover too lol
Right!!
I’ve watched twice already, started watching a third time, still catching little things I missed!!
Great interview....... I will always be a karate kid and cobra Kai fan........... 💪💪
#2 in Brazil !!! We're watching here and having so much fun!!!
I binge watched both seasons in one sitting. I was glued to it. Can't wait for season 3.
I think Daniel goes to Okinawa to find Sato for guidance since Miyagi and he both were trained by Miyagi’s father. Daniel arrives and find that Sato is dead. He inadvertently runs into Chozen and they start with a weird relationship.
I think Chozen and Kumiko will come back in season 3 along with Elisabeth Shue as Ali. I am hoping we have a re-enactment of the tea ceremony scene with Kumiko with glory of love playing. I think Ali will rekindle with Johnny while Daniel is away in Okinawa, and Daniel will become a bit jealous realizing that when he comes back, but Ali will give him and Johnny a pep talk to become allies. I believe season 3 will end up with Snake, Dennis, and Mike Barnes from KK3 all showing up as the newly hired senseis of new cobra Kai dojos terry silver opens up for Kreese now that Kreese regained control. I think Thomas Ian Griffith will be generous enough to do a cameo as terry silver for the fans, but he’s retired from show business so I don’t see his role being large. I think Daniel will form an alliance with Chozen, Johnny Laurence, and also reach out to Julie Pierce to fight against cobra Kai and eradicate it from the valley. That would make it an even 4 on 4 fight against Kreese, snake, Dennis, and mike Barnes
I remember him from The Outsiders. And he also did a great episode of The New Outer Limits.
He is a vampire doesn't age!
How can you not love this guy
How tf dose he still look so Young. Though not gonna Lie hes still handsome XD
It's hard to believe that dude is nearly 60. Pretty funny I was in college in 2001 and my professor had the internet pulled up on a projector screen and he just randomly surfed onto a page and said Ralph Macchio is 40 years old and I was like wtf. It blew my mind even then because I thought it was probably 15 during the Karate Kid being a fan growing up. He was like the same age is Terry silver in Karate Kid 3.....
He was 4 months older than the man who played Terry Silver.
Just rewatched Cobra Kai Season 2. I wasnt too impressed the first time, but on second viewing, I totally loved it. Brilliant stuff. Cant wait for Season 3!
WoW!!! I'm so excited to watch it on Netflix. It seems amazing!!!! Ralph still looks the same :D
Loved it can't wait for season 3.
Already my 2nd time to watch it and some scene still gets me emotionally.Bringing back a lot memories from being a teen to being a dad now.Answering all my sons questions about the movie and the characters,We even talked about Martin Kove's other movies.
He is still so handsome! Looks pretty much the same! Holy cow!!
he's 58 lol - it's amazing
He's very handsome! My first crush. 😍
@@anikadiamond007 Billy Zabka looks very good too - he's 54 lol
@@danbh84 he looks great too!
I'm addicted to Cobra Kai....it's so well written.
My guy Lawrence has come a long way from how I met your mother 😂🔥🔥🔥,was hooked from the first episode.
I’m dying to see season 3 of cobra Kai to come out earlier than March.
You guys rock!
It’s cool he stayed real and didn’t go Hollywood. He stayed in Long Island instead of moving to LA. He may be in the Hamptons but he stayed down to earth.
Just watched season 1. It's sooo good!!!
I'm so glad that Cobra Kia is Finally on Netflix, I So can't wait for Season 3
8 miserable people thumbing down.
COBRA KAI NEVER DIES
It looks like a great show
it is I recommend highly !
I am watching it now so great I recommend it to
One of my favorite movies growing up actually watching karate kid right now the good old days
Waiting for season 3 brilliant it is
No way this man is almost 60!! 🙂🙂
Dope!! 💪🏼
Fan service is Johnny and Daniel teaming up. We've been teased a couple of times ready. And afterwards they can be friendly rivals. See you at the all valley
So can't wait for season 3.
Only a year to wait
@@void-_-7563 Sad but true.
Excited for season 3 I finished watching seasons 1 and 2 of cobra Kai within a week
Great show!
Love the show and Ralph too.
“In Netflix’s Cobra Kai”...Take that UA-cam Red!
Binged 2 seasons in 2 days. I love the character development of Johnny.
I love him
The actual Film (which got an Oscar nomination for Ohara) is one of the greatest films EVER.
Season 1 was amazing, Season2 not bad, hyped for season 3
Love Ralph and always will . Cobra Kia looks great I just wish would be on regular TV to watch as I don't have net flix
I love the show plus it's on Netflix which is even better it's just an awesome show can't wait for season 3.
Forever young.. Sheesh. #GreatGenes
Can’t wait for session 3 bro
Almost 60 and still looks so young.😉
Liked him in crossroads from 1986. Always been a fan of that movie.
Please take me back to the 80's!!!!
Those beautiful eyes ...
I was born when the Karate Kid came out lol that’s crazy
He looks younger because of genetics. I had a classmate in high school in senior year, we were all around 17-18 yr olds but this one guy i went to school with still looked like in junior high like 12 yr old. He didn't hit puberty until college. He was a late bloomer.
It's a good series that I have given up on season 3 ever coming out! It's been saying it's coming out all year but now it says not till 2021 which who knows might not be till December 2021!
Love that bastid. He and Billy Z are fantastic.
Karate kid and Ralph Macchio still relevant because the actors are authentic and great role models.
Watched it last night lol
Still handsome and good looking..he does'nt age
They did a good job in writing this show as it shows the reality of life to some degree. For example, "Daniel" is not always good in this show, and "Johnny" is not always bad. It is a mix of the two for both characters. In other words - more like reality so it is hard if not impossible to root for anyone on the show as they alternate between good and bad decisions.
I like Johnny and daniel
He and tom cruise never get old🤣
I love this show!! It’s so hilarious! I seen it on UA-cam
I've done nothing but promote this show for years. I love it. Watched the first season 10 times. Was so excited to see the move to Netflix. I knew this show would be number one. I thought William Zabka could have won an Emmy if it had been on Netflix. Keep up this wonderful show.
To be honest, I was not a big fan of the original Karate kid films growing up. But cobra Kai has made me a fan now that I actually went back and watch all 3 of the original series
When not a lot of people cared about Cobra Kai on you tube
When Netflix takes it
Everybody wow what a great show it just came out
Because no one knew about it.
