The OG Karate Kid Ralph Macchio has achieved a milestone as he just earned himself a spot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

The Cobra Kai actor further explained his relationship with the late star and described it as a ‘soulful magic’, reported The Standard.
“Our partnership is something I always described as a soulful magic of The Karate Kid films, and he is still here today blessing all these stories that are moving forward. I can feel him here.”
He continued: “The fact that that was part of the decision in putting us together, it means the world to me.”
Macchio played the role of Daniel LeRusso; a student of Karate, in the 1984 family-action. Meanwhile, Morita depicted the character of Mr. Miyagi, who teaches LeRusso the tricks of the combat.
