“For Billy and I, the depth and level of our friendship and our history together has just gone beyond, just like this show has,” Macchio told People magazine.

Macchio admitted the two have “grown” in many ways since filming “The Karate Kid.”
“As actors, as friends, as men, as fathers, and husbands, we have grown,” he said. “And it’s just so wonderful to think that these two bows have created this great kinship.”
