US martial artist and Hollywood action star, Chuck Norris, most famous for his role in “Walker, Texas Ranger,” has died aged 86, his family confirmed.
Norris was known for his roles in the 1990s action-crime series Walker, Texas Ranger and the 1972 martial arts film The Way of the Dragon, starring the fighting superstar Bruce Lee.
He reportedly fell ill on Thursday on the Hawaiian island of Kauai.
Born in Ryan, Oklahoma, on March 10th, 1940, Carlos Ray “Chuck” Norris took up martial arts while serving in the US Air Force in South Korea.
His acting debut came with a cameo in a 1968 Dean Martin film, “The Wrecking Crew.” Four years later, his epic fight with the kung-fu superstar Bruce Lee in “The Way of the Dragon” helped turn Norris into an icon on big and small screen alike.
