Chad McQueen, ‘The Karate Kid’ Star and Steve McQueen’s Son, Dies at 63
Chad McQueen, the son of the legendary actor, star of "The Karate Kid" and professional race car driver, died Wednesday. He was 63.
His wife Jeanie and his children Chase and Madison said in a statement to Variety, “It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of our father, Chad McQueen. His character, in particular, exhibited a merciless attitude and encouraged Johnny Lawrence (played by William “Billy” Zabka) to brutally beat up Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) during the night of the Halloween dance. Though he eventually pulled through, the crash effectively ended his professional racing career, but he has remained involved in motorsports through his company and other ventures.
