CHUCK NORRIS – 81

Chuck Norris is very iconic as a martial artist and action star. After serving in the United States Air Force for four years, he embarked on a martial arts career after encountering Tang Soo Do while stationed in South Korea. Norris made an investment in setting up a martial arts studio shortly after leaving the military. Eventually, he became a black belter in Tang Soo Do and mastered karate. By 1968, Norris emerged as one of the best karate fighters in the U. S. and became famous on the silver screen as the nemesis of Bruce Lee in the iconic movie Return of the Dragon. Later, he became highly successful in film and achieved mainstream success with films like the Delta Force series, Code of Silence, and Hellbound. In the 21st century, Norris became famous as an internet meme. Memes about him exaggerate his apparent indestructibility.

Outside of acting and martial arts, Norris has done numerous advertisements, wrote several books, and became a brand ambassador to brands like Fiat. He has also been active in politics, often supporting conservative causes in both the United States and abroad.
