Meet the new Karate Kids of 'Legends': Ben Wang and Aramis Knight

Meet the new Karate Kids of 'Legends': Ben Wang and Aramis Knight Show Caption Hide Caption 'Karate Kid: Legends' trailer: Ralph Macchio teams with Jackie Chan Ralph Macchio's karate sensei and Jackie Chan's kung fu shifu work together to train a martial arts prodigy in "Karate Kid: Legends." In every 'Karate Kid' movie, there's a teen hero and an absolute jerk of a bully. The original 1984 movie featured Ralph Macchio getting pummeled mercilessly until he finally beat William Zabka, though their rival characters became friends in 'Cobra Kai.' Then there's 1994's 'The Next Karate Kid,' which gave us Hilary Swank vs. young Walton Goggins. A couple of new enemies, both 25, enter the fray in 'Karate Kid: Legends' (in theaters now). Ben Wang plays Li Fong, a kung fu-trained youngster recently moved to New York City, and Aramis Knight is Conor Day, a karate-champ classmate who seethes after the newcomer befriends Conor's ex (Sadie Stanley). Trash talk and beatdowns commence, all leading to a faceoff in the championship of a local karate tournament. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox Director Jonathan Entwistle says Wang has a 'Marty McFly quality' to him, playing a Chinese Peter Parker-type character, and he told Knight he was 'playing something actually quite iconic: the bad guy in a cool outfit.' Time will tell if their characters hug it out 30 years from now, 'Cobra Kai' style, for a Netflix show. In the meantime, here's what fans of these new karate kids need to know about Wang and Knight: Ben Wang shares a similar origin story to new 'Karate Kid' In 'Legends,' Li Fong relocates from his native undefined with his mother (Ming-Na Wen). Wang finds a parallel to his own life story, but with a twist: He moved from Shanghai to small-town Northfield, Minnesota, with his mom when he was 6, and ended up at drama school in the Big Apple. 'I didn't have to dig very deep for a lot of the stuff. Mostly the hardest part was the squats,' says Wang, who starred in the Disney+ series 'American Born Chinese' and also appeared in the movies 'Mean Girls' and 'Chang Can Dunk.' His next film is the Stephen King dystopian horror adaptation 'The Long Walk' (undefined) and Wang has also been cast in next year's 'Hunger Games' prequel 'Sunrise on the Reaping." Like his 'Karate Kid' character, Wang trained in martial arts early, doing after-school taekwondo, and has studied other Chinese forms like Wing Chun kung fu. The acting aspect, however, came when he realized, 'I wasn't any good at sports, and I wanted friends.' Wang's first play at age 10 was 'A Midsummer Night's Dream,' he says, 'but it wasn't Shakespeare's 'Midsummer Night's Dream.' ' Still, "I was like, oh, I've never actually had that kind of fun before in my life. I mean, I had no plan to do it professionally, but it ended up working out for the best." Aramis Knight earned his martial arts stripes in the 'Badlands' Knight might seem like a Hollywood newcomer, but he's already built an extremely varied 20-year career, on shows including 'Lost,' 'Dexter' and 'NCIS,' plus movie roles in 'The Dark Knight Rises' and 'Ender's Game.' Most noteworthy, however, is his action-packed TV work: Knight starred in the post-apocalyptic drama 'Into the Badlands' as well as Marvel's 'Ms. Marvel.' 'Badlands' was 'the perfect crash course' in martial arts, and co-star Daniel Wu became his mentor in wushu. The night he heard he got the role, "I remember me and my mom just thinking like, 'Damn, how am I going to do this?' " While he was "fairly athletic" and played a lot of basketball when he was younger, "I was not flexible at all," he says. "undefined' After training and doing the show for three seasons, 'I'm pretty sure I tore and rebuilt every muscle imaginable just to get to the point where I'm at now,' Knight says. 'I'm by no means an expert but I'm no slouch. I can definitely look like I'm very good at it.' Knight wants to play 'bigger-than-life, almost unrecognizable' characters, yet "it's harder when you're young to play those like Gary Oldman-esque parts,' he says. Being a karate villain is a step in that character actor direction. 'You kind of get the free pass to do things that you wouldn't normally do in your real life. Just be a little more disrespectful than Aramis would personally ever be,' Knight says. 'I'm an integral part in Li Fong becoming this triumphant hero. There's got to be sort of a fall from grace, and that's really what Conor is for Li. 'I wanted to fill those shoes and be this iconic but also traditional 'Karate Kid' bad guy. I felt like I was carrying the torch a bit.'

New world no. 1 Kunlavut seals Singapore crown in style

Kunlavut Vitidsarn of Thailand is the new number one (Roslan RAHMAN) Kunlavut Vitidsarn celebrated becoming the first man from Thailand to top the badminton world rankings by winning the Singapore Open in style on Sunday. The 24-year-old demolished China's unseeded Lu Guangzu 21-6, 21-10 in just 37 minutes with his range of powerful smashes and deceptive drop shots. Advertisement Paris Olympics silver medallist Kunlavut will replace another Chinese player, Shi Yuqi, as world number one in a landmark for Thai badminton. It was his fourth title this season. "There will be pressure to be the best player in the world, but it's going to be a good pressure as that will give me the added motivation of doing my best to win all the tournaments I take part in," said Kunlavut, who lost the Paris final to Viktor Axelsen. Denmark's two-time Olympic champion Axelsen, the former number one, is currently working his way back to fitness following surgery for a back problem. Advertisement In an all-Chinese women's final at the Singapore Indoor Stadium, the fifth seed Chen Yufei outplayed second-seeded Wang Zhiyi 21-11, 21-11. Chen was runner-up to world number one An Se-young last year. Chen ended the South Korean's unbeaten run in 2025 by defeating her in the quarter-finals this year. "I'm really very happy with this win because the draw was not exactly in my favour and every match felt like a battle," said Chen. "To make it all the way to the final was honestly something unexpected. "I felt like I was not under too much pressure this time, so I played more freely and showed what I'm capable of." str/pst

11 Celebrities Who Died Right In Front Of Their Fans

On Dec. 8, 2004, "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott — formerly of the legendary heavy metal band Pantera and widely regarded as one of the best guitarists of all time — was doing a club show with his new band, Damageplan. Only 90 seconds into their first song, Nathan Gale, 25, a six-foot-three, 250+-pounds man with a shaved head, strode through the crowd and onto the stage. Fans watched in horror as Gale, at point-blank range, raised a pistol and shot Abbott in the forehead. Pandemonium broke out as Gale killed two more people and took a hostage, inching toward the exit with the gun at the hostage's temple. However, before he could escape, a police officer shot him dead. Adding to the horror of it all, this happened on the anniversary of John Lennon's murder, when he, too, was shot and killed by a troubled fan. So why did Gale murder Abbott? It later came out that Gale, a former Marine with mental health issues, held Abbott responsible for the breakup of his favorite band, Pantera. In 2016, Irma Bule, 26, was an Indonesian pop singer specializing in Dangdut, a popular music genre in her country. A mother of three, she was not yet a nationally known singer but had a following in the Karawang area of West Java. For performers like Bule, who were still looking to go national, singing in rural areas wasn't especially lucrative, and net only $20 per concert (plus tips from the crowd). However, if they performed on stage with a snake, the pay jumped up to $25. Another Dangdut singer, Yeyen, told local media. "If there are snake dancers, there will be more audience. Therefore … we have snake dancers." Bule had performed with snakes onstage for three years, but the snakes were normally nonvenomous and/or had their mouths duct-taped closed. On the night of her death, the snake she was asked to perform with was neither nonvenomous nor duct-taped. Bule's show began as it always did, with her dancing and singing, until — in a flash — the snake bit her. Footage online shows Bule crouched at the side of the stage just after the bite, with the snake handler tending to her. Forty-five minutes later, she was dead. In the category of "Yikes! That Would Never Fly Today!" we have William Ellsworth Robinson, an American magician of Scottish descent who captivated audiences using the persona of "Chung Ling Soo," a Chinese conjurer. To sell the lie, he never spoke English on stage and wore face paint to pass as Chinese. That's bad enough, but it gets worse — his entire act was almost entirely stolen from an actual Chinese magician named Ching Ling Foo. (He didn't even try to hide the theft — he changed only two letters of his name!) The two magicians had a major rivalry, and honestly, there's probably a movie there, but this post is about dying in front of your fans so... On March 23, 1918, during a performance at the Wood Green Empire in London, Soo (the fake Chinese magician, to be clear) tried to perform his most famous act, the "bullet catch," which involved catching a bullet fired at it went terribly wrong. A malfunction caused a real bullet to be fired, striking Robinson/Soo in the chest. Breaking character and speaking English onstage for the first time, he exclaimed, "Oh my God. Something's happened. Lower the curtain." He died the following death shocked the public, revealing that the "Chinese" magician was, in fact, a white dude from America. His commitment to his stage persona was so complete that many were unaware of his true identity until his untimely demise. (From the vantage of 2025, you'd think a white guy in yellowface would be pretty obvious, but maybe not 100+ years ago.) On June 10, 2016, 22-year-old Christina Grimmie — the talented young singer who'd placed third on Season 6 of The Voice — had just finished a performance in Orlando, Florida, and was holding a meet-and-greet inside the venue. She was in good spirits as she worked through the line of fans, signing autographs and taking selfies. The joyful night took a horrific turn, though, when it was 27-year-old Kevin James Loibl's turn to meet Grimmie. According to a fan behind Loibl: "The one guy in front of us was walking up to meet her. Her arms were open, waiting to greet him with a hug. Then there was a sound of three pops, like balloons. People had brought balloons to the show, and the security guards were popping them, so at first I thought it was that." The sounds weren't balloons — Loibl shot Grimmie three times at point-blank range. Grimmie's brother tackled the shooter, and the two fought before Loibl broke away and shot himself. Grimmie was rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead less than an hour after offering Loibi that learned that Loibl was obsessed with Grimmie, spending his free time watching videos of the singer and poring over her social media accounts. He believed they were soulmates, so to make himself more attractive to her, he underwent Lasik eye surgery, got hair plugs, and lost 50 pounds. When he was told it was unlikely they'd ever be together, Loibl became angry and defensive. Somewhere along the way, he decided on this new, horrible course of Mohandie — a clinical, police, and forensic psychologist — told BuzzFeed News that social media can create an unnatural obsession for some fans. "There is all this social networking stuff that is happening right now and to an unstable person that can really complicate into them thinking they do have a relationship with this person. They read more into it because of their misperceptions." When Cleveland Indians' shortstop Ray Chapman arrived at the Polo Grounds in New York on Aug. 17, 1920, he was having one hell of a season, batting .303 with 97 runs scored. That wasn't out of character, though. Chapman had hit .300 twice before and to this day holds the single-season record for sacrifice bunts. It was rumored that Chapman, who was newly married to a pregnant wife, planned to retire when the season ended to focus on his family. Tragically, while facing Yankees' submarine pitcher Carl Mays, he was hit in the head with a fastball. This was before batters wore helmets, and the ball met Chapman's head with a sickening thud. The impact was so strong that the ball bounced into play, and Mays threw it to first, believing it must have hit Chapman's bat. A dazed Chapman stood, asked someone to call his wife, and added: "I'm all right; tell Mays not to worry." He then collapsed and was rushed to the hospital, where he died the next day. Following the incident, many felt Mays had hit Chapman on purpose for crowding the plate, and Hall of Famer Ty Cobb even suggested someone should do the same to Mays. Chapman's death led to some changes in baseball. Beforehand, pitchers were allowed to dirty up the ball with soil, licorice, or tobacco juice. That was forbidden after Chapman's death, as it reduced the visibility of the baseball and made it harder to see (and thus evade).A minor leaguer died the next season in the same manner, but even so, batting helmets weren't used widely until the 1950s. Barbara Weldens, 35, was an up-and-coming French singer-songwriter who had already won several prestigious music awards. Her fans loved her emotional lyrics, haunting voice, and theatrical stage presence — often performing barefoot. On July 18, 2017, Weldens was performing at a packed church during the Léo Ferré Festival. After finishing a particularly powerful song, Weldens smiled, soaking up the crowd's applause, then suddenly collapsed. At first, some audience members thought it was part of the show — a dramatic flourish. But Weldens didn't move. Paramedics arrived quickly, but it was too late. An autopsy determined that Weldens had been electrocuted; she was performing barefoot as usual, and when her foot made contact with a defective piece of electrical equipment, it sent electricity shooting through her body. Owen Hart may have been born into a legendary wrestling dynasty (his dad was Stu Hart; his brother was Bret "Hitman" Hart), but he was a star in his own right and at the center of some of the biggest '90s storylines of the WWF (now the WWE). However, on May 23, 1999, during the WWF's Over the Edge pay-per-view event in Kansas City, Missouri, his life (and those storylines) ended. Hart was set to make a dramatic entrance as his superhero persona, the Blue Blazer, by being lowered from the arena rafters into the ring. Tragically, a malfunction occurred, and Hart fell a long distance — approximately 78 feet — landing chest-first on the top rope. He was rushed to the hospital but pronounced dead not long after arriving; the cause of death was internal bleeding from blunt force trauma, resulting in a severed aorta. The incident was not broadcast live, as a pre-recorded segment was airing at the time. The audience in attendance witnessed the fall, though, and the frantic attempts to save his life afterward. Despite the tragedy, WWF owner Vince McMahon decided to continue the live broadcast after a 15-minute widow, Martha Hart, was horrified, writing in a book about her husband, "As he lay dying in the ring, he struggled to live for our children and me. After he lost his fight for life, they just scooped him up and ordered the next match out. Where's the humanity?" In the aftermath, Martha Hart filed a wrongful death lawsuit against the WWF, claiming they were negligent and hadn't hired qualified riggers. The WWF settled for $18 million, and she used the settlement to establish the Owen Hart Foundation, supporting various charitable causes. Tommy Cooper was a towering figure in British comedy — both literally (he was a big dude, standing 6′4″) and figuratively. He was famous for his bumbling magician act. Basically, his whole shtick was that his magic tricks always went hilariously wrong, which made what happened on April 15, 1984, during a live broadcast of a variety show extra horrific. Cooper walked on stage to thunderous applause, started performing, and then collapsed backward into the curtain. The audience burst out laughing, assuming it was part of the act. But it wasn't. For several agonizing seconds, Cooper lay on the stage floor, unresponsive. The host, Jimmy Tarbuck, told the show's producer: "This isn't it [part of the act]. 'Now', he said, 'you know how he is.' He's put this in... And...I said, No... this is not him!" The cameras kept rolling — broadcasting Cooper's death live to 12 million viewers. Stagehands eventually dragged him offstage as performers tried to keep the show going. It was later confirmed that Cooper died of a heart there onstage. Nick Zoricic was a 29-year-old Canadian freestyle skier, rising fast in the dangerous, high-speed world of ski cross — a sport that combines downhill racing with motocross-style obstacles (and has been referred to as "NASCAR on skis.") But on March 10, 2012, at a ski cross World Cup event in Switzerland, Zoricic's final race became a tragedy seen by hundreds of spectators. As he approached the finish line at full speed, Zoricic flew off the final jump — but something went wrong. Instead of landing cleanly, he veered off course and slammed into the safety netting and a solid boundary structure just past the finish. He hit the barrier with brutal force, disappearing in a spray of snow. When the snow cleared, Zoricic was lying motionless. Officials quickly waved off the other competitors and rushed to his aid, but Zoricic had suffered severe head trauma. He was pronounced dead a short time incident sparked international calls for greater safety measures in ski cross and other high-speed winter sports, especially since Zoricic's death was the second high-profile skiing fatality in two months — freestyle skier Sarah Burke previously crashed and died during halfpipe training. Japan's Sankai Juku dance company was famous for their version of Butoh, a rebellious dance movement that gave the middle finger to both Western culture and traditional Japanese art. Sankai Juku's version was different, gentle and poetic. They made their American debut at the Olympic Arts Festival in Los Angeles in 1984, then toured the country, eventually stopping in Seattle on Sept. 10, 1985. There, they planned to perform a piece entitled "Jomon Sho," where four dancers hang upside down from a building by ropes attached to their ankles (a metaphor for life and death or something artsy like that). They were supposed to dance while being slowly lowered to the ground, a process expected to take 30 minutes, but after only a couple of minutes — and while still 80 feet in the air — one of the company's most senior dancers, Yoshiyuki Takada, noticed his rope was He tried to carefully reach up and grab the rope above where it was fraying, but it snapped before he could. He fell the long distance to the ground silently, landing with a thud. A doctor in the crowd tried to help, but it was no use — Yoshiyuki Takada was later came to light that they only tested one of the four ropes to be used, and that they'd requested old ropes because new ropes caused the dancers to twist and turn too much. The company stopped performing the hanging outdoor dance after the tragedy, but has since added it back into their repertoire. (The photo above is an example from a more recent performance.) British actor and comedian Sid James was famous for starring in the Carry On films (a massive British comedy franchise comprised of 31 films released between 1958 and 1992). But his life ended on April 26, 1976 — in front of a packed Sunderland Empire Theatre — as he acted onstage in the comedy play The Mating Season. The performance was proceeding as usual, according to costar Olga Lowe. "I came on, said my first lines and he answered as normal. Then I sat on the sofa with him. I said my next line and he didn't answer." James had suffered a heart attack and slumped over on the couch. "I thought it was a gag," Lowe added. "Well, you would with Sid. He was such a rascal... Ten minutes earlier, he had been the same old laughing Sid." Once the gravity of the situation set in, the curtain was dropped. James was 62.
