Its a strange phenomenon that if you made it big in the 80s on that scale your career was doomed, Ralph Machio William Zabka Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamil didn't have the greatest time finding work, though you do get the exception like Harrison Ford, a lot of producers did what nearly cost Pat Moria the part and typecast actors, great they're getting something to sink their teeth into and further develop much loved characters
Ralph Macchio was huge for me back then. HUGE. I wrote him a letter and got a signed picture back! I was devastated when he got married. At 12 I couldn’t believe he’d done that to me. The 1st and last decent guy I chose to fall in love with.
I always wondered where one found the mailing address to celebrity’s fan mailbox when I was that age. I would’ve written so many. Google didn’t exist back then… how did you know where to mail him?
@@h3artands0uLL The addresses to send fan mail were in the back of all the teen magazines! 🤣 Looking back, I’m sure the signature was a stamp, but you couldn’t have told me that at 12. I took it to school and showed it off like you wouldn’t believe! 🤣🤣🤣
I put off Cobra Kai for a long time and even was skeptical when it hit Netflix. I decided to try it one day and watched both seasons in 2 days. Its so good! Its definitely nostalgia done right. So glad the show is getting the recognition it deserves and I hope Netflix continues it for many seasons to come!
I was sick in bed decided to give it a run, I to watched all of it in 2 days,i really enjoyed it for a change of pace compared to what I usually watch ,looking forward to season 3
What?. I think the blonde guy looks amazing..same as the rest. Yes, Ralph Is aging incredible well but so the other ones and they have almost 60 years?. Of course comparing with Ralph they look older but Ralph is one of the rare cases of people having the bless to grow old super slowly. The other ones are white but even though looking fantastic.
I laughed when Conan said that they are just about the same age, so I checked and holy crap, Ralph is a year older, 58 years old! He looks more like 28. :S
Same. I had a crush on him at 11 in the late 80s watching the karate kid movies and I still do now. He seems like a really nice, humble and grounded guy
When i was in the 3rd grade after Karate Kid 2 i wrote to his management or wherever and ended up with a signed photo, All my best Ralph Macchio. Still have it at 42
This guy never looked his age when he was in The Karate Kid i thought that he was at least 15 and he was actually in his 20's people were shocked when they found out what his real age was. Now he is in his 50's and looks like he's in his early 30's 😲.
Ralph M. totally represents the 80's!! I loved him as Johnny in "The Outsiders!" He was so broken but, kind as that character. Favorite line to this day... "Let's Do it for Johnny!" And who did not cry; when he died from his burns... :(
Youth - as pronounced by Joe Pesci. Always funny. Ralph can also dance!! Unfortunately injury prevented him from getting the Mirror Ball (or at least that is supposedly happened). The people LOVED him, the judges did not, and he kept coming back.
Someone I know that saw him in Cobra Kai said "he looks so old!" because he had not seen him on screen since the Karate Kid movies. And I informed that person that he's 58 years old. Once I put things in perspective, he couldn't believe how young he looked for his age.
Ralph Macchio has barely aged! I’m thoroughly convinced that he has been in a cryogenic freeze for the last 30 years and just recently thawed out in order to do Cobra Kai.
Awesome! First ‘kiss’ was Michael J. Fox for me, but I also had the Macchio Tiger Beat pullout on my wall, right next to the Ricky Schroeder, Kirk Cameron (douche bag), and Jason Bateman teen magazine pull out posters.
In 2 Months Ralph Macchio will be 59 years old. When the Karate Kid was released Pat Morita was 7 years younger (52). This just makes me feel really old.
There’s just something about him that he’s always had, something that even at the age of 60 he continues to shine through and that is so great. Just a sweet, calm and happy guy. There’s nothing you can’t like about him.
I loved seeing him on Psych and I hope that helped kickstart his career, he was always underrated, loved Crossroads butOutsiders was the best, stay Golden Ponyboy, best line
This is why I wade through days of garbage posts. Cuz every one in a while I come across something genius like this! "Did Pony Boy stay golden?" Friggin awesome!!
Gotta be honest, I was SHOCKED at how good "Cobra Kai" is. Only started watching it last week but I've finished them all now, and I rarely binge watch shows.
It's cool these guys are having a renaissance because they seem like generally good dudes. Wish Pat were around to experience the same because as I understand it things weren't so great for him at the end.
My uncles named me after Raquel Welch. Lol but seriously, Ralph looks great. He was my first crush and i saw karate kid 2 first when i was 11 and Im nearly 40 and he's still cute.
@@jayclause4674 I have a Blue Healer that is black with the white Healer spots going from his ears down to his front feet. His name is, "Kazon Dax." Like the Star Trek Symbiants.
Ralph Macchio is a legend Loved him in my Cousin Vinny too, What a classic but Cobra Kai is the bomb. Such good memories such a feel good series love it xxxx
How is it that his voice was deeper when he was younger in the "Karate Kid" then now. Not too mention he is like heading toward 60 yrs old and looks like in his 30's easily. I'm so Damn Jealous!
@@MrParkerman6 Most people I grew up with, their voices grown deeper as they aged, maybe with others its the opposite. Either way, Ralph definately has a strong hold on his "Youthful looks" he looks great for a guy his age without surgery or whatever. My mom jokes that Ralph Macchio probably dunks his body in barrel of Oil of Olay on a daily basis.
All of my coworkers were talking about Cobra Kai (we work at a dealership) I’m on my second round, what an amazing show. It’s definitely a “comfort food” type of show. Thank you all
Back in the 80's, I was a huge fan of Ralphs. One of the magazine's had an address for him. Needless to say I wrote him ,Tom Cruise,Rob Lowe and C Thomas Howell pretty much the whole cast of the Outsiders. I'm not sure if it was directly from Ralph but I received a post card post marked from his hometown.... I still have the post card. Lol Thanks Ralph!
Can’t believe my 13 year old daughter found this video!! I got her The Outsiders book for Xmas for she was 12. She loved the book. Now she is obsessed with the story and Johnny Cade. I was 12 when the movie came out and I read the book when I was 13 and loved it!
He turned out exactly like everyone thought he’s turn out. A regular nice guy.
Yep, Conan is really nice.
@brie galvez he looks older than 40 he looks at least 48,he will look 70 when he is 80.
@brie galvez he just turned 60 actually according to Google Nov 4
Uh, he was never a nice guy. Not even Daniel was/is nice.
He was always nice
This man’s daughter is almost 30. How weird it must be to look the same age as your dad looks! 😂
andromeda corkas omg i have the same problem😂 im 49 & my son is 28.....poor guys😂
Lol
It's more than genetics. Scott Baio also has Italian genes, and they the same age. Baio does not look like that.
He's a late bloomer. Like him I looked 15 until I was like 25. I'm 51 and people think I'm 30. Not bragging, just the way it is.😊
People think my mom and i are sister s
I think Ralph Macchio and Paul Rudd are drinking from the same fountain.
Hahhaa yesss!
They have a disease called Benjaminbuttonitis. There's no cure.
As well as Matthew Broderick...just a bit.
They have all aged well for sure
AND not sharing
adrenochrome
Pat Morita would be smiling from ear to ear. Mr. Miyagi will always be in our hearts.
Yes he is! 🙏
The Outsiders and the Karate kid are two of the greatest movies ever made!
Damn straight. Never see films like that again.
Yup!
No. They’re very good. But not the best. They’re GUY flicks. That’s why you like them.
Since I was a young girl I’ve LOVEDDD those movies but especially The Outsiders... always felt so bad for Johnny stay gold!!
Stay golden 💛
Ralph Macchio has postponed his 30th birthday for 30 years now
Seems about right
@Anders Veritas damn Vampire
He's older than Conan and looks younger .
Too bad His acting skills have not changed either
He’s actually 60!
It’s crazy...
Dermatologists need to study Ralph. He found the fountain of youth!
Valerie Texan what a dumb post.
He uses Meaningful Beauty!
@Valerie Texan Ah the TDS libs. Too funny all the professional help you need.
@andromeda corkas Nope! Doubt it!!! White people have been caught using Adrenochrome!! To look young do your research!!!
And he took long to change voice!
I’m so glad Ralph is coming back into the mainstream as an actor as he is a very good one.
Yes he and William Zabka are national treasures!
Amazing how a guy as big as he was could ever fall off the radar without really having a shot at another lead role.
Yes to both Ralph and William
Both are awesome!!!!!!!!!!!
He's the kid that plays the karate kid right?

Ralph is older than Conan yet he looks like he can be Conan’s son 😂
Too funny, they are two years apart. Hard to believe!
and it's not cause conan looks old
Even weirder when u realize Ralph is a Baby Boomer. He looks Gen X at the oldest
He IS conans so
@@nick56677 yeah ... I didn’t even realize that!! He was really close though. (Missed it by a few years)

Same! I love the show now!! I can't wait til January for the next season ❤️
He does NOT look 58, as for the other guy.......mmmm.

andromeda corkas Nice bait sweetheart. No one cares.
@@waterairfire Ahahahaha... that was the best response. You shut her down. 👍😄
@andromeda corkas I think Macchio has ethnic blood.
Don’t you dare to diss Conan!
'look dad was huge! and we missed it!' so funny! lol
I laughed when Conan said that they are just about the same age, so I checked and holy crap, Ralph is a year older, 58 years old! He looks more like 28. :S
Wait... What?! At worst Ralph looks like he's in his mid 30's 😆
😂I did the same thing and had the same reaction 😂😂
@@Chas-OTE Yeah, impossible to think that that BOY turns 60 next year.
He’s always had a baby face.
@myjikan turne He's 58. Turns 59 this November.
Even though he is 50+ years old (which he doesn't look like he has aged at all😅) i still have a huge crush on him 😄😍
Same. I had a crush on him at 11 in the late 80s watching the karate kid movies and I still do now. He seems like a really nice, humble and grounded guy
Call him
Why does Ralph still look young???
58 looking like he's 30!
Monthly black hair dye, no work, 12 hours of olive oil baths
genes
I'm 45 and I say yes, the 80s music in the show is kick ass.
I’m 16 and I think it kicks ass too, especially compared to the junk music that my friends like that is popular nowadays
And clothes, and hair style, and mall scenes. They did an awesome job of sneaking in 80s references everywhere.
@@paigeherrin29 , the one thing that does feel a little weird is that they use modern language. They use phrases that didn't exist in the 80s.
Everybody keeps saying, "I accidentally watched the whole thing in one night!"
I haven't watched yet, but I'm totally using that line when I do.
Its a damn good show! Totally worth it! I was even skeptical but boy was I wrong! Lol
Damn, he could have ridden a motorcycle as a kid without a helmet and that hair would have kept him perfectly safe.
@Telly Vin-a Ha! You should see '70s hair.
When i was in the 3rd grade after Karate Kid 2 i wrote to his management or wherever and ended up with a signed photo, All my best Ralph Macchio. Still have it at 42
And HE still has it at 42......ohhhhh um hes older?
@@toddself5838 no he’s saying he is 42 now with the autograph

Yeah, he was my fave. Ralph even slept in a park alone with newspapers as blankets so he would know what it felt like to be Johnny.
Ralph was like 23 in Karate Kid 1... dude looked 15 then!!! Incredible!
nah he looked 12
Yeah...He was 19 on eight is enough and he looked 13
How old was he in the Outsiders? He looked like a fetus .
@@gordonsweeney2268 he looked(and sounded) 14 or 15. he wasn't a squeaker but he still sounded boyish.
@@soulerflare7 he was 21 or 20
Ralph Macchio will forever look like a “yoot”
😂
💀😂😂😂 that’s a good one
WHAT? Uhh..what was that word?
Youth - as pronounced by Joe Pesci. Always funny. Ralph can also dance!! Unfortunately injury prevented him from getting the Mirror Ball (or at least that is supposedly happened). The people LOVED him, the judges did not, and he kept coming back.
😂😂😂. I love that movie!!!
Why does he always looks at least 10 years younger than his age. What is his secret? 😂
Ralph Macchio looks like he moisturizes
Dee Bee I don’t think Ralph Macchio is that rich. Dude is better off than 99% of Americans but I don’t think he gets out of work.
Good genes man.
Italians look hella young.
My mom is 52 and looks like shes 35.
Im 25 and look like im barly 18 😂😂😂
Karate
more like 20
Super refreshing he's still such a regular, nice person. Good to see someone who hasn't let hollywood change him. What a blessing.
"We gotta do it for Johnny!"- Dally
“...for Johnny.”
I still like Ralph Macchio, and think he's a wonderful young man!! Great Person!! Great Actor!!
When i was a kid I wanted to grow up and be like Ralph. But somehow I passed him by 30 years in age along the way
Mr Miyagi would be proud
This man is 58 years old.
Haha good joke
@myjikan turne Google says hes 16
Wow
Someone I know that saw him in Cobra Kai said "he looks so old!" because he had not seen him on screen since the Karate Kid movies. And I informed that person that he's 58 years old. Once I put things in perspective, he couldn't believe how young he looked for his age.
wax on, wax off
Ralph has to be the greatest Hollywood actor in the sense he is great but then he just a super normal dude
@@kaylaz6576 right! He just doesn't seem like a Hollywood guy.
Kay Laz hahaha that might be a good sign
Ralph Macchio has barely aged! I’m thoroughly convinced that he has been in a cryogenic freeze for the last 30 years and just recently thawed out in order to do Cobra Kai.
Ralph is 18 months older than Conan
He's still a cutie. I had a crush on him since The Outsiders.
Wow!!! Lol
He looks 20 years younger🤯
Year and a half old and still looks younger than Conan
I was in middle school. I had a poster of Ralph Macchio hanging on my door that I would kiss. He was the first guy I kissed.. lol
Omg same here!
Awesome! First ‘kiss’ was Michael J. Fox for me, but I also had the Macchio Tiger Beat pullout on my wall, right next to the Ricky Schroeder, Kirk Cameron (douche bag), and Jason Bateman teen magazine pull out posters.
Imm 14 and I have a Ralph poster 😂
In 2 Months Ralph Macchio will be 59 years old.
When the Karate Kid was released Pat Morita was 7 years younger (52).
This just makes me feel really old.
I met Ralph a few years ago and he is such a nice guy!
There’s just something about him that he’s always had, something that even at the age of 60 he continues to shine through and that is so great. Just a sweet, calm and happy guy. There’s nothing you can’t like about him.
Jordan should do this interview because he can get to Macchio.
Nunnha B he has the body language of lee Harvey oswald
I came here looking for someone to remember that moment. Thank you!
Absolutely!
That was so funny!
Oh Ralph Macchio, you’re still adorable!
Comes off so much more likable when he's not taking himself so seriously.
He was one of The Outsiders too you know..
Stay gold, Ponyboy.
Do it for Johnny!!
The house of the outsiders in Tulsa, is now open to the public
His best role.
Johnny Cade
LOOK.....DAD....WAS HUGE!!! AND WE MISSED IT!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You know his wife is doing a great job keeping him young and grounded, he looks great and I’ve always seen him with a smile.
I loved seeing him on Psych and I hope that helped kickstart his career, he was always underrated, loved Crossroads butOutsiders was the best, stay Golden Ponyboy, best line
He finally looks 30 🥳🥳
"daddy was cute, and we missed it!!" 😭😭😭
I’m here cause I want Elizabeth Shue in season 3. She’s my 80s bae!
Yeah! Her character and doppleganger died in the boys recently. Cue for cobra kai comeback
She can’t hold a candle to Tamlyn Tomita 😍
@@AxeKick80 Yeah. Kumiko was the best of Daniel's girlfriend. Those 2 were perfect.
She is going to be.
So nice to see an actor who seems to have evolved into such a nice normal guy. I really enjoyed this interview :)
Seems like a real good guy. Happy the show has done so well. Its a great by the way.
Ralph finally looks 22 he’s one of the sailors that went with Ponce de León
22 plus 20
Ralph has always been such a handsome guy😅😍❤️
I don't think anyone could hate Daniel-son. ❤️ Ralph Macchio is a legend!
No way he is 58 years old!! wow
So shocked and impressed
59
Ralph is actually older than Conan. Now let that sink in.
It's the Latin (Italians ) roots and a good hair colour and also too a good wig😉
58 years old, everybody.
Crazy
Cap
2 years older than me, I always thought he was younger. He still looks great. I want to know his secret lol
Those brat pack guys simply don't age. Tom Cruise, Ralph Maggio, Rob Lowe etc. It's kinda unreal
Its great to see 80's good guy actors get the sauce again, and I mean actors that played villains too but weren't Justin Beibers
W L k9jhoii
Great. Now I have Peter Cetera stuck in my head.
Same.
All for the Glory of love
Cobra Kai never die!
strike first! strike hard! no mercy!
Sweep the leg!
Conan looks like he just woke up facing the bathroom mirror first.
I think it was Barney Stinson that made Cobra Kai a reality.
Season 3 will be legen-
JClay -wait for it-
I remember buying Teen Magazine, Bop, Tiger Beat, etc. just for these pictures of Ralph Macchio! 😂💞
after watching cobra kai and watching all of the karate kid movies + other films ralph has been in i can now say i am OBSESSED
Same🤦🏻♀️
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION NOT ASKED " DID PONY BOY STAY GOLDEN?" LOL
WOW , does this mean I got pinned by the Karate Kid?
From the context of this interview looks like it! 😉
I loved that Movie... The Outsiders Great Cast...
Gold..in...shower
This is why I wade through days of garbage posts. Cuz every one in a while I come across something genius like this! "Did Pony Boy stay golden?" Friggin awesome!!
with 30 years he looked 18 n’ now with 59 he looks 30
The 80’s will always be the year for music, fashion and awesome movies.
Years not “year”
I like when actors don't act during an interview - thank you Ralph!
what a sweet guy. ill watch his movies for the first time now.
Watch The Outsiders, the Karate kid movies, Crossroads...
Gotta be honest, I was SHOCKED at how good "Cobra Kai" is. Only started watching it last week but I've finished them all now, and I rarely binge watch shows.
He seems so down to earth and a great guy. I hope he continues acting.
I tell you, Ralph Macchio never ages! I didn't think I would really like Cobra Kai, but it is really good! Can't wait for the next season.
Just finished binge watching the two seasons. Really enjoyed it. Can't wait till Season 3.
"At 5, I was a Hero for a moment." That got me in the feels. My kids are all grown now. Its true.
It's cool these guys are having a renaissance because they seem like generally good dudes. Wish Pat were around to experience the same because as I understand it things weren't so great for him at the end.
My daughter was so in love with Daniel that she named her 1st born the same. He is twenty now.
Too funny my ex-husband was named after Eric Estrada... for the same reason😄
My uncles named me after Raquel Welch. Lol but seriously, Ralph looks great. He was my first crush and i saw karate kid 2 first when i was 11 and Im nearly 40 and he's still cute.

All of my coworkers were talking about Cobra Kai (we work at a dealership) I’m on my second round, what an amazing show. It’s definitely a “comfort food” type of show. Thank you all
Macchio looks like he's in his early 30s. Conan definitely looks like he's in his early 60s.
He look like he is forty something
Not 30s but in his 40s
As Indiana Jones would say... It’s not the years. It’s the mileage.
Conan looks late 60’s early 70’s he looks like he been working out In sun for 24 hours for a week str8
Back in the 80's, I was a huge fan of Ralphs. One of the magazine's had an address for him.

McCauley Culkin just turned 40 and Macchio is 58. God I feel old.
This show is great for an 80's kid man. We ruled dude.
Literally everybody: how old are you?
Ralph: 23
Everyone: how long have you been 23
Ralph: A LONNGGGGGG TIMEEEE
I still can’t believe that he joined Cobra Kai. 🐍
Omg my childhood crush! I had all the magazines with him in them. And he looks just as good as he did then! Love him!
Can’t believe my 13 year old daughter found this video!! I got her The Outsiders book for Xmas for she was 12. She loved the book. Now she is obsessed with the story and Johnny Cade. I was 12 when the movie came out and I read the book when I was 13 and loved it!
Ralph still looks amazing and 20 years younger than he really is lol. Im turning 35 and he looks closer to my age!
Seems lika such a humble guy I'm glad that kobra kai did well and he's back on the scene
He is the next Morgan Freeman....never changes
Conan is lying, They are not the same age... Ralph is 30 and Conan is 60... lolololololol
The man literally is ageless, I love him!!!
I look older than he does.. and I am 30,.
That's...kinda... Sad
Ralph could still easily play at least a thirty year old.
He still looks ageless
gosh, I started watching Kobra Kai on youtube red when it was free. I'm gonna have to finish it on Netflix now.
You haven’t watched season 3 yet???
