Ralph Macchio, the actor who played the original Karate Kid, is now the same age in real life, as the actor who played Mr Miyagi in the film.

Horrible...innit!

I'd hazard a guess he doesn't look quite as old as Mr Miyagi did though!

No he does not!

Another one I heard recently...

Remember in Back To The Future, the character played by Michael J Fox went back to 1955?

Well, 1955 is as far away from the time that film was released as we are now to the time that film was released.

So if it were remade today, the character would be going back to the early 80s.

Ralph Macchio is in the movie Hitchcock with Anthony Hopkins I believe.

Ralph was also in a rather underrated film (for any blues fans) called Crossroads - although in this role he played a guitarst who wins it all in the face of adversity....hammer on hammer off....

I think I still have it on VHS somewhere in the house.
