A high-flying career! Chuck Norris is known for his work on the small and big screens, as well as his impressive martial arts talent.
Born in Oklahoma, Norris discovered his passion for martial arts while overseas in Asia as a member of the United States Air Force. He trained in Tang Soo Do in South Korea and eventually earned a black belt in the art form. When he founded his own style of martial arts, Chun Kuk Do, Norris used his prior training as inspiration.
After finding international success as a fighter — winning competitions around the globe — Norris made his acting debut in 1969’s The Wrecking Crew. He continued to appear in a number of martial arts movies, even teaming up with Bruce Lee in 1972’s Way of the Dragon.
“The truth is Lee was a formidable opponent with a chiseled physique and technique. I totally enjoyed sparring and just spending time with him,” Norris once said, according to Black Belt Magazine. “He was as charismatic and friendly in the ring and at home as he was on film. His confidence and wit were dazzling, and sometimes even debilitating to others.”
The Hitman star praised Lee’s “open mind,” adding, “He never believed in only one martial arts style or that one was superior. He believed that everything had strengths and weaknesses and that we should find the strengths in each method.”
Along with his lengthy Hollywood career, Norris’ personal life has piqued fans’ interest over the years. He married Dianne Kay Holechek in December 1958 when they were 18 and 17, respectively. Their first child, son Mike, was born in 1962, followed by son Eric in 1964. The former couple called it quits in 1988 after 30 years of marriage.
