"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.

"You're taking the nostalgia, you're taking the source material of what ‘The Karate Kid’ universe has sort of created, and then defining it in a whole new way, never losing sight of what it really is."

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."

"And on top of that, they can't get out of their own way, the characters, and that's what keeps the ball up in the air."
