AceShowbiz - Coldplay has premiered the music video for "The Karate Kid", a heartfelt ballad from the expanded Full Moon Edition of their chart-topping album "Moon Music". The video stars Ralph Macchio, reprising his signature role as Daniel LaRusso in a poignant and uplifting story.
The Chris Candy-directed clip opens with Macchio as a down-and-out busker in a park, performing the song with earnest emotion. Despite his efforts, his playing goes unnoticed and even mocked by passersby. Disheartened, Macchio takes a chance and attends a Coldplay concert, where he witnesses Chris Martin facing vocal issues.
Seizing the opportunity, Macchio helps out Martin by taking center stage and performing the song. The actor's triumphant moment before a massive crowd marks a moving conclusion to the clip.
Macchio shared his excitement about collaborating with Coldplay, "When Chris Martin reached out to me to help create this video, there was only one answer. Joining them in Australia to collaborate was a career highlight. The chemistry with Chris, the band, and Chris Candy was incredible."
Coldplay's "The Karate Kid" music video is a testament to the power of second chances and the enduring legacy of Macchio's iconic character.
