Ralph Macchio achieved enduring fame in 1984 when he appeared as the young teenage kid, Daniel LaRusso, who persevered against an injured leg and a dojo of bullies to win a local tournament.
Today, nearly 30 years later, he’s the proud father of young Julia Macchio, who appeared in the recently released movie, “Girl Most Likely”, starring Kristen Wiig, Matt Dillon, and Darren Criss.
Ralph proudly reported that she won her small role in the movie all by herself without her famous father pulling a single string.
Julia says she has no intention of ever following in her father’s footsteps to make a karate movie.
Ralph looks as good as ever at age 51.
