Hey guys it's Emily from J-14 and I'm here with Xolo Mariduena.
So welcome. Thank you. and we know you from Parenthood but you have something very
exciting that's new for you so Cobra Kai, can you tell us a little
bit about it? So Cobra Kai is the newest edition of The Karate Kid series you
know you have your three four original Karate Kid movies from 1980s, 1990s
and then you have the Jaden Smith Karate Kid but this is a television series on
YouTube Red and it follows the lives of Johnny and Daniel thirty years down the
line and I'm kind of thrown in the mix with a bunch of other kids in the show
and you really start to see the tension between Johnny and Daniel start to spark
up again. Pretty cool. So how did it come to be?
Did this fall into your lap? Did you hear about it and you were super into the
whole concept? To be quite honest I never I'd watched The Karate Kid the original
1984 one maybe once when I was five or six and the audition came in for a Cobra
Kai and I didn't know I didn't recognize the name and my mom was like you know what
this is right this is the Karate Kid this is huge yeah okay uh so you
know I watched the movie again and I was like okay I get the references in the
script yeah I understand the little bits and pieces of the nuances that are going
on and then you know going to the auditions I met Billy at the auditions
and that was super scary because he's like hi I'm Billy Zabka. I'm like I know who you are.
Casual. You did some studying you said you watched it over again. Did you have to do a lot of
training? Yes so it was a lot of training yeah so we started filming
at the end of September we got we started training I would say the
beginning of September all the way up until the end and you know I play tennis
and I play basketball. you know I'm athletic I could do this
like this is light work. and then first day of training
my body was just like you need cry right now it's like it's just a
lot of stretching which is something body was not used to you know I did
karate for like a year and a half when I was five you know it'll be really easy
to get back into it which is not the case at all this yeah it was so much
more strenuous than what I anticipated but now it's just stretching is 90
percent of the one thing that kicks this stuff like that those all come so
much easier when you know how to stretch. was there some scene that you kind of
like struggled with or that was a big challenge for you?
It does get a little bit difficult to find how I can put myself into this character without
making it just myself mm-hmm so because of that it is a little difficult to find
that line yeah but I would say at the end of the day that the final product
really was something that it was I'm super proud of yeah and I think plays
really well and I think the audience will love yeah that sounds awesome and
you mentioned kind of not putting too much of yourself into it are there any
similarities between you and your character or do you think you guys are
total polar opposites well I mean we're very similar I'm a junior in high school
right now. Miguel's a sophomore it's not really specified but I'm assuming he's
sophomore. Same age range. Yeah the same age, you know it's we both come from Latino
heritage and stuff like that a lot of the struggles that you see in high
school in the show are very real struggles you know not I went to a high
school where I didn't know anybody yeah put it being put into an environment
where you don't really know anyone you have to figure yourself out what clicks
do I fit in yeah but not that it like that element
of the show is very real and because of that it was very easy to tap into that
just because I know what it's like to be like oh where do I sit? you know that feeling yeah and
Miguel is very much like that and and to an extent where we see him you know
transform into the middle of the season and the end of the season is very much
something that I was it was easy to tap into
what is it kind of like you're you're going to regular high school right now
so what is it like kind of balancing the two I've really been so thankful that my
teachers and my friends and different students at school and just the the team
that we have my parents you know we're not that they really do all work their
hardest to make sure that I am getting what I need but it is very difficult
I could imagine. you know the hardest year of high school along with
missing the whole semester because you're across the country yeah
junior year, you said. That's tough. A lot's happening. SATs? yeah SATs.
Luckily I already took the SAT and I got the score I wanted.
now it's AP tests and stuff like that but yeah but the payout at the end you know the goal that
you want to reach really is worth the hard work. are there any similarities with kind of like your
school life and like being on set and hanging out with your cast mates they're
very different but similar in a lot of ways you know the the people that I met on Cobra Kai
you know a lot of them live in Los Angeles where I live so because of that it was
it was great to take a life that I I mean I didn't see my friends I didn't
see my family to an extent and I didn't see my teachers you know any of the
people at school so because of that it was weird to create a whole new life in
Atlanta or shooting mm-hm and then come back with those same people and kind of
see how you know my best friends from middle school hang out with Mary and Jacob from the show
Blending your worlds. Yeah blending my worlds, and it actually has worked really really well you know Jacob and I are
really really friends yeah so so it really has worked for the best yeah
so the cast stone dynamic seems to have really transferred into real life yes
So how is it with like the like older stars and the kids
like do like take any advice from them or ever hang out with them off set of
course you know so being in Atlanta I didn't know anyone I knew nobody in
Atlanta yeah and I feel like a lot of the people were also out there for the
first time they didn't really know anyone so we were kind of forced to hang
out with each other you know all lived in the same you know apartment complex
working with Ralph and Billy and these guys that you as a child aspire to be
and look up to being the karate kids yeah it really is interesting to learn
that they their life experiences and to learn what they have going on in their
lives yeah and because of that we ended up
being really great friends that's awesome
surprised like all of the other projects that I've worked on I've kind of been
the kid on set and this is kind of this is the biggest step in the fact that no
look like a young adult yeah I'm gonna be 17 yeah that change really has worked
for the best yeah that's great of that all of us collaborate so well everyone
it's AIT's everyone's but yeah and it it really is great that's awesome
what do you think about a season two oh we have said we have I would be
associated and kind of season two there's so much that is left to be seen
yeah I know were we're left with so much information so many questions so many
you know so many people are gonna be left wondering what is gonna happen in
season two and if we didn't get one it would just be a huge yeah sad I don't
think your heart worried I hope that I hope we're excited to see the rest of
season one. yeah. thank you so much. thank you for having me! Of course.
