Coldplay's latest video sees 'The Karate Kid' trading crane kicks for guitar picks
With stadium shows spanning from Abu Dhabi to London, Coldplay's latest video brings an unexpected dose of 80s nostalgia to their expanding universe
Coldplay have shared a new video for their track 'The Karate Kid', featuring original Karate Kid star Ralph Macchio.
The Chris Candy-directed clip, filmed during the band's recent stadium shows in Melbourne, Australia, sees Macchio playing a struggling busker who gets his moment to shine at a Coldplay concert.
"When Chris Martin pops up on your FaceTime asking you to help create a video to accompany what I found to be a beautifully emotional and poignant song – one inspired by a film I made over 40 years ago – there was only one answer," Macchio says. "Having the opportunity to join Coldplay in Australia at one of their legendary live shows to collaborate on this music video was nothing short of a career highlight. The synergy with Chris, the band and our director Chris Candy was as pure as any I've experienced. I'm excited to share this with the world."
The track appears on the expanded Full Moon edition of Coldplay's recent album 'Moon Music'.
