I have been lurking on this site for a while now, and I have noticed that the women seem to really adore Bobby. This is truly evident in the "sexiest man" thread.

Why is this?

Is it because Bobby was a "compassionate bad boy"?

i.e., he liked hanging around Johnny and beating up on Daniel, but he was the good bad boy that never wanted to go too far.

"Leave him alone Johnny he's had enough!"

or at the tournament...

"Daniel I'm sorry! I'm sorry Daniel! I'm sorry!"


I don't know. It seems like Bobby is trying to have it both ways here. He wants to be a bad boy punk, and sometimes he is, but he doesn't want to really hurt anyone too much. Hmm...

You basically got it right on the money Kevin S. Every girl loves bobby because of his character in the movie...and i have to speak for almost every girl when i say that he was really hott too. I mean I guess he was more cute than anything, but the more you watch him, the hotter he gets. He definitely has the best of both worlds, he's a bad boy and sensitive...what more could a girl ask for. [Big Grin]

shegotgame, do you believe that it was bobby's real hair color in the movie?


kevins, I think that you hit on a point similar to one that I made on a different thread. Bobby, please notice, is by no means not to offend anyone, hot as one thinks of when labeling movie stars as "hot." It's only because of the role that he plays, his cute baby face, and partly the fact that he actually held a black belt in real life. He and whatshisname, would be the only people in the movie to actually contribute somewhat significantly to the world of martial arts.
I think everybody would get a kick of seeing how bobby( ron thomas) looks like right now. Isn't there a modern photo of him somewhere?

Karatefan, yah I think that Ron's hair in the movie is his natural hair color. I haven't seen all the movies that Ron was in, but I did see him in Night Screams, and his hair was about the same color in that movie. I wish someone could find an updated photo of Ron Thomas because I'd love to see what he looks like now.

I liked his baby face. To me thats hot. I don't care wbout his character or his lines, frankly I don't think he's that great of an actor anyway, he was just hot. Plain and simple. [Wink]

I still haven't found an updated picture of Ron Thomas, but I bet he can't be THAT cute anymore being 40 yrs old these days! I have seen updated photos of Billy Zabka at IMD.com and he is still a doll!! I emailed a few nights ago, I would love to meet him. I thought his acting in the movie was great aside from the other Cobra Kai's..they sucked! Anyhow, Ron probably decided to call it quits with acting. Has anyone actually spoken to Bill on this site?
