Chad McQueen, son of Hollywood icon Steve McQueen, has died at the age of 63.
Arthur H. Barens, McQueen’s lawyer, confirmed the news to Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday.
“It is with a heavy heart that we announce the passing of Chad McQueen, son of celebrated actor Steve McQueen. In 2020, Chad sustained an injury from which he never fully recovered”, Barens wrote.
Born Dec. 28, 1960, McQueen is perhaps best known for his role as Dutch, one of the bullies in the original “The Karate Kid” and the sequel, “The Karate Kid II.”
He also appeared in films like “New York Cop” and “Red Line”, and, according to Variety, there were plans for him to reprise his “Karate Kid” role in the Netflix spin-off “Cobra Kai”, but the plans never came to fruition.
Outside of acting, McQueen focused on auto racing, like his famous father.
