Ralph Macchio, now the “Karate Middle-Aged Guy”
Filed under Where are they now?
Rate this pic/story! 
Loading ...Ralph Macchio shot to fame in “The Outsiders” (as Johnny Cade in 1983) and then in “The Karate Kid” (as Daniel Larusso in 1984, and in the sequels). He was also featured in pretty much every teen magazine during those years.
Now — amazingly — 46 years old (where does time go?!), Ralph Macchio has been married for more than 20 years and has two kids. And he’s still looking pretty much the same! Check him out:

So whaddya think — time for “The Karate Kid: The Later Years”?

After looking at the bad plastic surgery photos it’s refreshing to look at someone who aged naturally. He has a great smile!

Me encantaría encontrar algunas películas que son algo difíciles de conseguir en España. Soy fan de Ralph Macchio desde muy jovencita, tengo 34 años y sigo siendo su más ferviente admiradora.
