Chuck Norris: From Action Star to Internet Legend

Chuck Norris, known for his action films of the 1980s, turns 86. His movies made him a superstar, alongside Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

The 1980s were a golden era for Norris, with lower-budget films that resonated, especially outside America.

The Chuck Norris jokes started in the early 2000s, satirizing the series "Walker, Texas Ranger." These jokes boosted his fame.

Born on March 10, 1940, Carl Ray Norris, of Cherokee descent, served in the Air Force and practiced martial arts, founding his own school.

From the 1990s, his film popularity declined, and he focused on television with "Walker, Texas Ranger."
