Yahoo Lifestyle ‘Cobra Kai’ Star Xolo Maridueña Thinks Chicken Tenders Are a Dating Red Flag
In the seven years since Cobra Kai first premiered, the show and its stars have become major, major sensations. Xolo Maridueña, who plays Miguel Diaz in the series, is the perfect example. The actor not only leads one of most popular shows on Netflix (finishing its run on February 13) but also starred as superhero Blue Beetle in the 2023 film and hosts an extremely successful podcast with his Cobra Kai costar Jacob Bertrand. He also recently released a 7-track album. So, to put it lightly, he’s got a lot going on.

We asked him all the most hard-hitting questions we could think of and he indulged us with handwritten answers and even some cheeky drawings. His stance on appetizers will shock you.
