This man is a menace in real life, too?!
Martin Kove will forever be known as one of the most iconic movie villains of all time — John Kreese, the malevolent sensei who teaches his students to be bullies in The Karate Kid. And he reprised that role in the surprising hit Cobra Kai TV show. But… is he just a villain IRL or what?!
According to a shocking new report, the 78-year-old was kicked out of a fan convention in Washington State after BITING a co-star!

Alicia Hannah-Kim, who played Kim Da-Eun on Cobra Kai, filed a report with the Puyallup Police Department after a fan meet-and-greet gone wrong. Alicia told an officer working security at the event that she tapped Kove on the shoulder to say hi, and out of nowhere he grabbed her arm and bit her! “So hard he nearly drew blood,” per the report, obtained by Variety!
That is so messed up! Not only is it battery, a human bite can be extremely unsanitary! And he treated it like it was nothing. When she yelped in pain, he then kissed it — like he was making it better. Not better. Not better at all!
The actress told her husband, who was present at the event, and they confronted the Rambo actor. Kove “exploded on them, saying something to the effect of how dare they confront him,” per the report.
Kove told the officer he was just being “funny” — noting how they used to “play fight all the time on the set of Cobra Kai.” Ultimately Alicia chose not to press charges but did make a note that she wanted an official report filed on the books “in case this continues.” Like, if he’s ever violent again? Oof. Too bad there’s no Mr. Miyagi around to teach this guy a lesson…
