How Old The Cast Of Cobra Kai Really Is

Cobra Kai's cast includes veterans from the original films as well as a roster of younger actors, but how close are their real-life ages to those of the characters they portray? We've got the answers you're looking for and some may surprise you.

Robert Downey Jr., Charlie Sheen, Emilio Estevez, and Nicolas Cage were all reportedly considered for the role of the karate kid himself, Daniel LaRusso. Luckily for Ralph Macchio, his performance in Francis Ford Coppola's The Outsiders left an impression on casting director Bonnie Timmermann, and he got the nod for The Karate Kid. Macchio was a little older than the aforementioned actors at 22, but his baby face meant he was able to pull off playing a high school student with ease. Those youthful looks made it tricky to land adult roles in the years that followed, but they have also allowed him to remain recognizable as LaRusso, and that's not a bad thing.

The New Yorker's evergreen looks are why so many people are double-taking when they first sit down to watch Cobra Kai. Believe it or not, he'll turn 60 in 2021, the year the third season premieres. Keep watching the video to see How Old The Cast Of Cobra Kai Really Is!
