Still Hot Or Not? ‘The Karate Kid’ Ralph Macchio

The “Karate Kid” star, Ralph Macchio, is still looking pretty hot for a 47-year-old. Yes, he’s 47! Really!


Tell me Ralph Macchio doesn’t look good, you can’t do it, can you? He’s still got that Daniel LaRusso charm, doesn’t he? And the man looks like he’s not a day over 30.

Ralph recently talked about the upcoming remake of the movie that made him a household name, “The Karate Kid”. The new movie will star Will Smith’s son, Jaden, in the lead role and it’s been reported that Jackie Chan may take the role of Mr. Miyagi. But he’s no Pat Morita, is he?

Of Jaden Smith starring in the remake, Ralph says, “I think Jaden – you know, Will Smith’s kid – the kid’s got chops. He’s young; he’s like eleven…That story will work forever, when well-told. So, it makes sense in that respect.”

Ralph was more recently in Park City, Utah at the Slamdance Film Festival to promote his new movie “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Undead” and says that he gets news on the remake from friends.

On the subject of the remake, he added, “If they separate themselves from (the original) but still hold true to the human message behind the movie. I think that story could last forever.”
