'80s hunk William Zabka

The thing that was hot about him was, he always seemed like he could throw a mean fuck. So blond, so surly!

Classic 80's BDF

Sweep the leg!

Looks like every other twinky pron "star" of the 80s.

Absolutely, OP. I seem to remember him shirtless and in a skimpy swimsuit in the movie "Back to School," with Rodney Dangerfield.

He is of Czechoslovak ancestry. He speaks Czech fluently.

He played Johnny Lawrence the bad guy, the lead rival of Daniel LaRusso in Karate Kid (1984).

shoulda changed his last name

Another 1980s thread.

Looks like Gary Sandy's younger brother, no?

Had no idea that was his name but definitely hot!!!

Wasn't he also the bully in "Just One of the Guys"?

Bad haircuts, icky ethnic look.

Looks like a Falcon porn star from that era.

Is he gay? Didn't all the bullies in 80s movies turn out to be gay?

And today...

Bad haircut, icky ethnic look.

I always wanted to run my fingers through that beautiful thick blonde hair of his. And what a beautiful body!! Yes!

t This is the plot of his new movie which is going to get released in 2014. It is called 'Produce'.

A self-destructive former pro ball player is given a serious lesson in living life with courage when he befriends a grocery store clerk with Down syndrome.

he's on this last season of How i met your mother, playing himself. he's quite funny! NOT aged well, tho

AWG, then and now.

The link--Sum Ting Wong!

He is presentable, come on, his not that bad.

Zabka was a putz in just about every role. And yes, he was the bully in Just One of the Guys.

He didn't get married until he was in hosc40's. He is a religious Xtian. Is he really straight?

Just watched "Back to School". No way is he AWG. Cute, and phenomenal body for the 80s. That was an era before actors were working out all the time. You had a few (Stallone, Travolta for "Staying Alive") but it was more the exception than the rule. He was still quite young (probably 19 or 20 in "Back to School") but looked great in that speedo.

Hot bulge

I think Ralph Macchio is in love with him. I don't blame him.

Very in the moment. Very Princess Di.

Speedo shot.

By almost all fan accounts, Billy is a very cool down-to-Earth dude with a great sense of humor.

Which makes his hotness even more agonising.

[quote] He is of Czechoslovak ancestry. He speaks Czech fluently.

And he’s a smart, sensitive bilingual. Goddammit.

The only unattractive thing about him is his Christianity (he was really into the church as a college boy) and the fact that he looks like he either fake-tans or never met sunscreen. Other than that, perfection.

Zabka was cute, but give me Martin Cove ANY DAY!

When I was younger I thought Macchio was cuter, but now I'm more into the blonds, and I love me some Slavic guys. He's aged very well to boot. I didn't know he was religious but I will just feign ignorance unless he outs himself as a deplorable and/or fundie.

He seems to be going for an Ellen Degeneres lesbo tranny look these days.

Seems he might just be one of those nice accepting Protestant types R33, so there’s still hope.

Dearest R34 must be very young. Zabka is nearly 54, and looks incredible for it.

OP's link sends me to some malware.

Beware!

[quote]I would savagely JO whenever he'd appear shirtless in a film

Right in the theatre?

Maybe because that link is five years old, r37.

He has such a nice, tall, slender frame.

Mmmm. A pretty, sweetheart Libran man. Has Venus & Mars conjuncting almost exactly, same as Brad Pitt.

He’s also got a Sagittarius stellium which means he likes to be naked, fuck outdoors and playfight. Go get him, girls!

Will he get recognition for his work on 'Cobra Kai'? Whatever the YouTube version of an Emmy is.

The only 80s hunk last name starting with "z" I recognize is Adrian Zmed. SO hot then. Looks like absolute SHIT , now.

DONT click on the link OP posted. Fucker put up a malware link.

[quote]Zabka was cute, but give me Martin Cove ANY DAY!

And give me his hot ass, flopping cock and balls, big bush and hairy taint while you're at it.

Offensively pretty, Zabka. Hope to look this good at 52.

Why the fuck R27 would you bump a 4 year old thread where the OP has an infected link? Start a new one. Don't be such a tard.

He looks better as a 52 yo.

I was the only hot person with a "Z" name in the 80s

Once they were lovers....

I only watched the television show “The Equalizer” once because he was guest starring as the son.

R49, meet R43.

Idiot.

R51 I appreciated that he got to play against his unfortunate typecasting at least once as a youngster in THE EQUALIZER. He played a very sweet, naïve young man with only the best of intentions who gets conned.

He was fun in the boyfriend role opposite 'Jerry Mouse' Dana Hill (R.I.P) in that awful Chevy Chase NatLamp flick.

Anyone got audiovisuals of him speaking Czech? Does he write poetry in his mother tongue?

R53 his jaw there could cut glass😱😱😍😍🔥🔥🔥🔥

Lucky gal Christy Eisenberg got to mount that in SHOOTFIGHTER 2.

^^^that was a more tender softcore lovescene than one might expect from a gorefest titled such.

I love how his hands go everywhere, and that little trail of saliva he leaves after kissing her lower belly. Hot.

He’s close with the Pinkett family...

He’s not a clam, is he? Please tell me he’s not a clam.

He was homoerotic for days in JUST ONE OF THE GUYS. So were his buddies, in particular the dark-haired husky Belushi-looking guy with the big ass who in one scene drapes his arm around Billy’s waist touching the small of his back (you know how sensitive that part is) and brushing his butt.

Those fingerless gloves became his trademark for a while there, didn't they? Kinda sexy in a goofy, Steinman-esque WARRIORS fashion.

^^Just good wholesome all-American Christian whiteboys 😏😏

He would never go $cieno, he’s too cleanly devout. He used to go to Christian camps as a kid, makes Christian films...

He also wore a pretty silver crucifix all the time as a strapping young buck, even in his most sinful J-14 beach shots.

I wonder if he is a good fuck? Beautiful athletic popular guys never have to try hard in the sack and sometimes become extremely lazy or boring in bed. Hardcore Christians aren't always hot lays either.

I couldn't walk for a week.

I bet it's a very confusing experience for those Millennials working with him on 'Cobra Kai' right now, lusting after the hot Gen X guy who their Moms crushed on and who's meant to be their teacher.

R62, I'd love to find out and get back to you.

R53 I went to high school with Dana Hill. She was a good friend of mine. I’d drive her home after school.

He was a cute guy, back in the day. But on no planet in the universe was he ever a "hunk".

He can pull off white tie and tails. Hot!

R67 = Joyce Hyser

Martin Cove has absolutely ruined his face.

*Kove

He played the violin in 'The Equalizer' and he looked so beautiful? Those fingers??

Rocking the polo and track pant look of '84

[quote] I would savagely JO whenever he'd appear shirtless in a film, which constituted most of his films.

That must have surprised the other people in the audience.

He’s in Knoxville right now for the Comicon. Alongside openly-gay Power Ranger David Yost, no less!

Tennessee bitches, head down there to check them out and report back.

BDF and BDE. whoever goes to comic con take a pic for us!

Its a very fun show, and he is hot as hell!!! love to kiss and fuk suk on him all nite.

hope the show is a huge hit for him, his resume has a lot of kool movies on it.

I've had a huge crush on him since I caught Cobra Kai on you tube.

He gets me going, so does the show. refreshing …. awesome writing and scripts.

^^I think a lot of dicks and clits were kept busy by watching Johnny go to work on ‘Cobra Kai’.

What is “BDE?”

BDE stands for “Big Dick Energy”, R80.

As the name implies it’s about the natural easy confidence that comes from being hung like a horse and everyone can pick up on it. It’s also a figurative “secure” quality people can carry, men and women. It’s not cocky or arrogant, just a warm and strong feeling a person generates when they know they’ve got goods.

Ok, which one of you Cali paparazzi bitches was creeping on poor Billy back in the day?

[quote] ZABKA: “I was nineteen or twenty, then all of a sudden Teen Beat starts smelling you and all these kind of creepy old dudes with cameras and long lenses are like “David Gibbs had stronger pecs, you wanna do some push ups?” And I’m like “Yeah I got bigger pecs than David Gibbs”. And I’m like “How’s my peach fuzz little thing going up on my belly?” and they’re like “Yeah looks good”. I think honestly one of these guys was like… (trails off) But it was just a little creepy, you know I just fell into that whole thing."

he so dam cute on that you tube show: COBRA KAI.... best new show ive seen in a while .. well done.

watch the show

its fukin awesome.

u tube all da way , faye.

He really is the sexual nucleus of any room he walks into. Wonder how Macchio feels about that?

Looking at them together it seems like Kove taught Zabka how to exude that confidence. Art, Life, you know.

I haven't read this entire thread but any gossip on Zabka's love life -- i.e., gay, straight, bi, what?

He's married, R86. To a woman, and since the mid-'00s. It's a tragedy for the gay community.

R86 He can play straight convincingly (see R53, R56, and 'The Karate Kid') but that's just halfway-decent acting. He's a better screen actor that he was ever given a chance to be, before now.

As for the wife R87 points out, as we know from DL annals that is hardly conclusive. He has a young son (now in gradeschool, I believe) so his marriage could well be one of those "for the kid(s)" deals. He's an energetic Christian from a practising European family so no doubt he had pressure to hitch/produce and not succumb to the wicked dissolute ways of Tinseltown. Zabka himself seems very accepting of anyone so I wouldn't think him homophobic, even if he might be hiding some sugar at the bottom of the bowl (so to speak).

If I had to make I bet I'd put money on him being downlow-bisexual or at the very least 'heteroflexible' (as they're calling it now). I don't think he's totally straight but I don't think he's a closeted gay man either, if for no other reason than I've seen him flirt with female anchors in interviews and get pretty into it.

Everybody halfway decent looking guy is gay on DL. The only thing to determine is exactly what level of gay one is.

Shaking my head.

Billy is probably getting vagine thrown at him from all six directions since 'Cobra Kai' aired. Like drowning in it.

The man lost 20lbs for COBRA KAI, in his mid-50s after a lifetime of smoking.

Well, what’s your excuse DL?

Entertainment Weekly are calling for his Emmy nomination.

Zabka deserves the Emmy nomination and win. But leave it to the DL to claim a hot straight daddy can be gay.

He may not be gay or ever have been. Chances are he's not, and is just very private and lowkey.

But from age 19-43 he was a known public figure with an unknown lovelife, which is quite atypical (especially for a very attractive & fit former teen-pinup from Hollywood). He was never seen with nor linked to any woman at any point until he met and married his wife at around 40, and she does appear with him in the music video 'No More Kings'. Even so, you can't blame the nosey queens here for their curiosity around the situation.

[quote]But from age 19-43 he was a known public figure with an unknown lovelife,

He wasn’t exactly an a-lister, and that was pre-internet days, no TMZ or shows like it. Just because YOU think it’s an “unknown” love life, doesn’t mean it is.

And, for the record, nobody wishes this guy was gay more than I did back then. I’m just not going to make it up out of whole cloth to have a fantasy.

I hope one of his comicon ‘shipper’ Frauen just flat-out asks him if he’s gay or has ever fucked a man.

He’ll laugh it off, say “no, I haven’t/am not”, shout out his wife and make a nice polite appreciative comment about gay fans, of course. But his body language in the moment of that pat answer will give the real truth, one way or the other (and you know those same Frauen will .GIF said moment down to the microexpression). We only need bide our time.

[quote] Nobody wishes this guy was gay more than I did back then.

Didn't we all, R95, didn't we all.

If there's really a God who made him as a good example, then God is a tempter with a filthy mind.

You know what’s weird? That famous straw-blond he sports in Karate Kid is not his natural color.

He really has darker dirty-blond/brown hair, the shade of wet brown sugar. He’s still hot as fuck anyways.

^^Lookin like a snacc covered in blood and bruises....👌🤒🤤🤤🤤

I wonder if part of our strong belief that a large percentage of attractive men are gay is the result of not being able to find women sexually attractive and exciting (or, conversely, not understanding how someone can't find a man sexually attractive and exciting). It's suggests a total inability to put ourselves in someone else's shoes. Which might help to explain why so many heterosexual men are unable to fathom how other men can be gay, and thus why some characterize sexual orientation as a "choice".

Might be something to that R100. But what does it matter, really? Most of us can separate fantasy & reality. We know he isn't gay, we just like aggressively pretending otherwise because he's really smokin' beautiful. Sue us.

His wife looks so similar to him. Maybe that theory about breeder spouses resembling each other is true.

He *did* get fucked by Lizzy Shoe, right?

Fuck the OP for posting a link to spyware that takes over your browser.

Maybe we need a new thread for BZ if this one has a virus. I can start one if no-one else will.

New thread at the link.
