Waxing On, The Karate Kid And Me

Okay so a few months ago, I read Ralph Macchio’s memoir, it’s called Waxing On, The Karate Kid And Me. This book talks about when he first got the role of iconic Daniel Larusso and how the film impacted a generation. I’ve always loved Ralph, I think he’s awesome, he was just one of those icons of the 80s. I have such a special place in my heart for The Karate Kid, it’s one of my favourite films, it’s just utter magic. And it’s even better now since we’ve got Cobra Kai, where he returns to the role of Daniel Larusso.

I just really loved reading this book, it was so interesting . Ralph is one of my favourite actors and I’ve just got a huge crush on his younger self, but I think you already know this since I’ve been talking about it on my blog loads of times . I’ve just got so much respect for him, he’s been in the indestury for so long and fame hasn’t gone to his head, he’s so humble, I take my hat off to him. I have so many favourite films of his, such as The Karate Kid, The Outsiders, Cross roads, My Cousin Vinny, Teachers and Up The Academy, he’s just in so many classics . Ralph was a gift from humanity . This book was a great read, I’ve learned so much from it. There are so many funny stories in it but there are also some touching stories, especially whenever he mentions Pat Morita. It was just such a beautifully crafted book.

I just think that The Karate Kid was just one of those films that will go down in cinema history. This film had a special place in everyone’s lives. Especially for some teenagers who experienced bullying when they were younger. They just really looked up to him and he was so overwelmed because of everyone’s love and support . This film just helped me so much, I wish I had something like this when I was in school, it just feels like a warm hug . He also talks about his auditioning process when he first auditioned for the role, which was a rocky process, especially for most actors, I found that really interesting and funny, I suggest you keep an eye out for that, it plays a big part in the film as well since it shows you how got there in the first place.

Yeah, I just really love this book, I’m so glad I read it. For these past few months, I’ve been feeding my interest with pop culture, where it’s film, TV or music, literally anyone I can find, I just love it so much, I’m such a book worm, love reading . This book is an absolute gem, for those of you like Ralph, I totally recommend this book, it’s a roller coaster of emotions .

Okay so thank you so much for reading this post, I hope you liked it. I hope you have a nice day, wherever you are right now. Love you guys
