Hello! 

I dont understand 2 moments in dialog of Karate-Kid lesson. What  do they mean:

1. "he was just bred to be an adorable movie star, right?"

2. there is an element of blasphemy in the remaking of Karate Kid, which is where my girl comment comes from."

I select unclear phrase! Could you please explain the meaning! Thanks a lot for help!

Hi! No problem."He was bred to be an adorable movie star" means that he was made to be an adorable star. His parents are both attractive movie stars, so it makes sense that he is a cute movie star too. 

In the second phrase, Mason is saying he thinks only girls could enjoy Karate Kid because boys would be bothered by the fact that it is a remake.
