Ralph Macchio on Working with De Niro & Pesci, Being in a Coldplay Video & Chris Martin Surprise!

[@moonskarous]

I was literally smiling through this whole interview. Love Ralph Macchio. I'm so glad he's having success again.

[@wdwpaparazzi2867]

Agree

[@laurasullivan6459]

Yay! Ralph Macchio! He looks amazing 🥰 great interview!

[@Struzzylive]

There are surprises where when you feel life has no meaning, you will smile

[@thecrazyhobo]

He's always seemed like such a humble and wholesome guy.

[@henryferchau9347]

So me being a huge Karate Kid/ Coldplay fan I knew of this song as soon as it came out. Being a big Mets/ Islanders fan I knew Daniel Macchio (Ralph’s son) through friends of friends who are also fans of my teams. I reached out to my friend Danielle who knows Daniel and I told her to tell him about the song. A day later she sends me back a text of Daniel Macchio saying how he thought the song was amazing and how it came as a huge surprise and he was going to show his dad. A day later Ralph posts about the song and then gets into contact with Coldplay to make a music video in Australia. I wasn’t sure if I started the chain of events but this video confirmed it thanks Jimmy!

[@2nd_of_3]

Thank you 🙏 it’s truly a moving video. I love it ❤

[@swans444]

thank you for that

[@AlexNorman-w2u]

Ralph Macchio play in the karate kid movies.

[@kfeldinAZ]

Very cool!!

[@TheEmaile]

MY JAW DROPPED after googling his age after he said he's got some years on Tyson! Had no idea he was on Broadway or could sing! He was my childhood crush because of Karate Kid, but always thought of him as a child star. He was quite old when he played Daniel-san! Still a fan!

[@luna-mo3ol]

I'm not sure if he can sing or not, but his broadway show was a play not a musical haha

[@robinvarnado7256]

Yeah, I think he was in his early twenties, maybe 21 or 22.

[@MhLiMz]

Chris Martin just casually sitting there in the audience, having a short cameo, no text to say. What a great guy to go along with that short appearance.

[@nTrophy]

Dude literally flew to Australia to be in his video. It's the least he could do tbh 😅

[@peterpanimg]

That was a pleasant surprise!

[@SnowWalker1]

For Ralph.

[@rkaos1987]

That's what they call "an American treasure". Ralph is a wonderful human being! Bless him. And a fantastic interview Mr. Kimmel 👍👍👍✌️

[@eliasringquist]

Such a humble and polite guy… congratulations on the star! (And he still looks like maximum 30)

[@dins5066]

He looks like he's in his early 50s

[@biker1625]

I'm 50 and I look much older than him😭​@@dins5066

[@Heman88888]

Hard to believe this guy is 63, he barely looks 40! Clearly he found the fountain of youth!

[@allexfenty]

You guys exaggerate so big..he looks mid 50s easily.

[@sonchi203]

Oh can't believe Chris Martin was there❤ love coldplay and their new album. And the video is great.

[@jamesbomd3503]

It was a look alike

[@dt6302]

@@jamesbomd3503nah that's chris. He lives in malibu too so he could easily pop during a kimmel show.

[@TheWriterNW]

Ralph has been in so many iconic movies! The man is an absolute legend!

[@cocobloco5056]

You gotta love Macchio .....so spontaneous.

[@mattiekitty]

Aww… I love Ralph! One of the child actors who made it out to the other side and seems to have become a really decent guy 🩷

[@DITI-77]

I know that this is a video about Ralph Macchio but I just want to say that every day I get more respect for Chris Martin. He seems like one of the genuinely nice and kind people.

[@Jesselovespinball]

When I was a lad , karate kid , and goonies were my favorites . And I still love them both to this day . Ralph is a great guy!

[@HellfireClub242]

63! The man is 63!

[@eddiemaiden2664]

And still the same child-like face he had back in 84

[@S-jq1yk]

It feels like actors get older every day

[@thefub101]

Come back when your 18 sweetie… I’m 63 years old!!!! 🤣🤣

[@gilpinsteven]

So surprising! He is still so youthful!

[@brettm.s.1169]

That’s how you look when your job is to hit the mark and say your line.

[@kristinLB]

Karate kid one and two such greats movies. Love him.

[@gamezonereactions8388]

Remember the Man Show with Women in Bikinis jumping on trampolines? 🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩MAGA🚩

[@Masterplan15]

​@@gamezonereactions8388No one cares

[@kfeldinAZ]

I absolutely love Ralph!!

[@annabellepartnerincrime5348]

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR STAR😊❤

[@MrYoumitube]

Ralph is a national treasure.

[@TiaCatR]

I would happily sit through 6 hours of Jimmy asking Ralph about Eight is Enough! I loved that show and had such a huge crush on Ralph 😍. Yes, I'm old! LOL

[@bettycogswell9851]

I love Ralph. He a gem of a man.

[@vikasraj2797]

*Congratulations karate kid on Hollywood walk of fame* 🥋

[@robertanderson2424]

Walk of fame on. Walk of fame off

[@robinvarnado7256]

​@@robertanderson2424 😅😅😅😅

[@NunchucksHabit]

Ralph's skit on "Funny or Die" before Cobra Kai was incredible - "Wax On, F Off". If you haven't seen that yet, you must. 5 mins of the funniest material.

[@paulrichardson9843]

The original Karate Kid is one of the most iconic eighties movies. 'This school sucks man....SUCKS!'

[@chiefbrody75]

You missed the 'it" before the last "SUCKS". Sorry, I saw KK in the theater about 16 times lol

[@inFAMous1013fm]

This man is 63 years old. Doesnt look a day over 50. Glad to see him doing so well. The original Karate kid movie literally brought me to tears as a kid, huge part of my childhood

[@susannpatton2893]

He was 25 when he played the part of a teenager

[@dins5066]

He looks like he's in his early 50's

[@pinkcatblue]

Not a day over 50? He looks like barely 40

[@luna-mo3ol]

He honestly looks like he could be 30-35 😂

[@dins5066]

@inFAMous1013fm I notice certain characteristics others don't where you can tell a person's age. He doesn't look 60 but it's easy to tell he's past 50.

[@Sawlon]

Loved him in My Cousin Vinny!

[@jesv4026]

Loved him in the karate kid!

[@RunnerNinja]

This guy does NOT look like he's in his 60s - even his voice sounds young! I was a die-hard Karate Kid fan back in the 80s, so when Cobra Kai came out, I was nervous that the showrunners would ruin a good thing. Not so - they knocked it out of the park! It's probably one of very few shows that perfectly balances nostalgia with new material.

[@martymethuselah]

Mr Miyagi would be proud

[@fwfulton]

Ralph always brings a Smile to my Face, Nice Young man. And Chris is so wonderful at poking fun at himslf

[@WindsEternal]

Ralph is looking great these days!

[@doogalloonni]

He was GREAT in Crossroads!

[@martymethuselah]

truly a forgotten classic ... the Stevie vie guitar duel is epic

[@gilpinsteven]

I love that movie

[@tonycanabal1659]

"The Blues Kid"!

[@jovylynabendan4320]

I love this man since karate kid era. Humble and kind

[@alanhudson2999]

In the words the the late great Mr Myagi “Daniel son..keep doin wht you’re doin make me proud”😎

[@marksacher3866]

Such a likable celebrity!

[@deannamcgregor636]

Really like Ralph Macchio he’s a good man you can tell and he looks great at 63 wow 😊

[@kathleenmccarthy8418]

I just adore Ralph Macchio. So glad he’s still making moves and doing great work. 👏🏻👏🏻🔥

[@Aintitgrand]

Che bello Ralph Macchio❤

[@jesv4026]

Chow Bella

[@florete2310]

YES!! Congrats, Ralph!! This is indeed well deserved!🥳🎉 I know, he's from a different show, but never did I wish more that Jordan Schlansky would be here for this too. He'd be like: "It's [makjo]!!!" LOL😂

[@sotirisstylianos3625]

Maccio should be in a vampire franchise, he really never ages.

[@Johnny-dz6vl]

This guy Never ages😊😊😊

[@paulburchell1762]

I was such a huge fan of the karate kid movies....so I understand all the references back to them in Cobra Kai....Ralf and William are fantastic

[@ArksCovenant]

"Sweep the leg!" Would be a little more appropriate to say to Zabka 😃. Fun interview with legend Ralpha Russo Macchio 🦵🦶

[@Thatguy55595]

This dude is the goat. I wanted to be Johnny from the Outsiders so bad.

[@meidas_robyn2775]

I’ve been reading through the comments to see if anyone had mentioned The Outsiders. I loved both movie and the book. Such an iconic movie. Matt Dillion’s, “ Do it for Johnny! Do it for Johnny!” Great stuff!!

[@Yourmission9]

Loved this interview, and one thing I’d like to point out that wasn’t mentioned. Both Jimmy and Ralph were in Entourage✌️

[@mikekillagreen9432]

Ralph doesn't age. Still the GOAT

[@Czechbound]

Karate Kid III 1989 + 18 years ... 2007's "Sweep The Leg" .... + 18 years .. 2025 ... Frightening how quickly time is flying !

[@whatabouttheearth]

Ralph should be proud, not that many people are actors, and not that many actors get to play such a beloved and legendary character as Daniel in Karate Kid. People adore that movie.

[@gilpinsteven]

Ralph is so awesome!

[@DwayneShaw1]

One of my best friends (at the time) Chris English, played Tommy on the pilot episode of Eight Is Enough

[@bravepotato1305]

Always on my wall always posters lol

[@SnowWalker1]

Love you forever and always Karate Kid!

[@2nd_of_3]

Love the Coldplay video.

[@JanMorsø]

What a cool guy, I never knew. I've been educated. Great sense of humour, the even blew our beloved Kimmel away.

[@sheraz1001]

This man doesn't age.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love ralph macchio

[@jamesbeard]

Slightly surreal to realise that Ralph Macchio is now 11 YEARS OLDER than the actor who played Mr Miyagi was when The Karate Kid came out in 1984 ... Pat Morita would've been 52 at the time

[@TheWriterNW]

LOL! Chris Martin is actually there!

[@becstarish]

So amazing Ralph Macchio you were incredible I was there in Melbourne Australia brilliant moment ❤🇦🇺

Great video and interview with Ralph Macchio!

[@niccolodallerba7161]

He’s just so great!!!! Also he looks 30

[@aboutdawntoday]

What a neat guy!

[@CalijayOfficial]

If you told me this man was born before The Beatles were officially formed, I would have laughed in your face

[@Birdtoes]

It's really great to see such a nice guy doing well.👏

[@jaimeantoniomangune5793]

Congrats! Can't wait for Season 6 Part 3 🥋👊🏻

[@d26672013]

Ralph is Goat and karate kid forever , no replacement.

[@themysticalwanderer36]

He is actually older than Kimmel, but looks 10 years younger than him

[@gilpinsteven]

4:32 what a beautiful moment

[@mydadisalviescalante]

Ralph is an icon. Love him so much…for 4 decades!

[@kr902]

These guy is the Peter-Pan…Doesn’t age 😎

[@tyronevaldez-kruger5313]

He succeeded the stressed MJ may he ride the choo choo train in peace

[@joliecide]

Karate Kid was a memorable movie from the 80s. But Cobra Kai made it legendary.

[@rockmath7040]

Absolutly

[@nordicsoda9514]

"THAT'S NOT THE MIYAGI DO WAY"

It's not his way matter. But it's his soul in the changed way matter

[@johngrayatkinson1214]

All I'm sayin is, if Daniel-San and Johnny can Get Along... Can't we ALL?❤?❤?

[@reggiethecommenter9137]

What is more shocking: The fact that he is 63 now or the fact that he was 22 years old when the Karate Kid was filmed?

[@johngricius5823]

Met Ralph at his book signing. Nice same guy

[@JamesOGant]

When I was a kid we watched Karate Kid 2 and I stayed up in my room fighting the air until my dad came home late from work maybe around 10 pm or 11 pm. Those original movies are a masterpiece.

[@mimim8532]

Natures first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold…..

[@davidlucey1311]

What is it that he’s eating drinking and doing for exercise? His about 60 years old and he looks like he’s 30.

Loved Macchio on PSYCH💚

[@jesv4026]

Loved him in karate 🥋 kid

[@gavinrabinowitz1255]

My cousin Vinny . What an absolute masterpiece of comedy

[@jesv4026]

Karate kid 🥋 better

[@diehardWNBA.fan.since.May.2024]

Ralph Macchio is 3 years older than Tim Walz 😁

[@bsquared4604]

The first thing I thought of as he walked out on stage was that he was Jeremy on Eight Is Enough.

[@gram2977]

Love Ralph! ❤

[@kennykarlsson6691]

I would love to get some of his youth serum . He doesent age. ❤

[@flymetothemoon2881]

My god Chris is so cute

[@AllanAdamson]

You know I was a young kid when karate kid was big and I was into it. You know I liked it because of both the story and the karate so, I kept thinking about it. I included it in a way with my nostalgia like Nintendo and it was easy in my mind because there was that Japanese connection to that film and over time I just saw more and more people who were as interested as me and then there was that no more kings music video and it just seemed like it was so close then to sparking back and then you know the people who did cobra Kai could tell you more about what really really lit the flame

[@b.justiceforall9544]

Love it all!

[@aaa19904]

Love him!!!!❤❤❤❤❤

[@BIG__Nick]

I was in the crowd in Melbourne when they recorded the video. Good memory

[@567HeyPandaBoo]

Johnny Cade stayed gold 💜

[@iusa5099]

You the Man Ralph!

[@srujanajyothi]

We love karate kid movie 😊

[@SuelFadel]

Ralph Macchio is a true found treasure

[@IndustryPets]

Awesome!👏

[@iwaspinnygigfirst]

He looks 37 max!!

[@BillPritchard]

Ralph is Hollywood gold and still *HOT!*

[@PaulMcCannWebBuilder]

I saw that play with DeNiro and Burt Young in 1986. I can't imagine it playing in Rikers - DeNiro's character pulls out a gun and shoots himself on stage.

[@donaldgosling]

Best Ralph movie... Crossroads !!!

[@taqmobile]

"Sweep the leg" isn't really related to Ralph Macchio's character though. Kreese says it to Johnny.. so William Zabka should have people shouting sweep the leg to him. Ralph should have calls for like "Do the crane" or "Wax on wax off!"
