Coldplay Team Up With Ralph Macchio For Sentimental ‘The Karate Kid’ Video: Watch

Coldplay released their 'The Karate Kid' video on Tuesday (Nov. 19), which stars the original Daniel LaRusso, actor Ralph Macchio: watch.

On Tuesday morning (Nov. 19), Coldplay revealed the visual for their song named in honor of actor Ralph Macchio’s most beloved character, which appears on the expanded Full Moon edition of the band’s recent Billboard 200 No. The video opens with Macchio schlepping his busking gear to a park, where he sets up a perky “Shine On” sign and some dancing stuffed animals as he sits down at his keyboard to croon the earnest ballad. “As much as I could, as much as I tried/ I just couldn’t seem to find the light/ The trees for the wood, the wars left and right/ Umbrellas with the rain in,” the actor lip synchs as everyone around him either ignores his playing or laughs as they walk by.
