At least whatever encounters that happened hadn’t soured Ralph Macchio on continuing to play Daniel LaRusso on Cobra Kai and giving fans and bullies alike something to enjoy on Netflix.
Also, it’s just ridiculous that there are people who would actively challenge or try to pick a fight with an actor, though stranger encounters have happened with fans.
Getting into the mind of a bully totally tracks that someone would want to fight a person who plays a tough guy compared to someone who actually is.
Being the guy who knocked out Daniel LaRusso would make for great bragging rights in the ’80s, though I’m not exactly sure how one goes about proving it without the internet.
