In the 1️⃣9️⃣8️⃣0️⃣s there was NO GUY who didn’t admire Chuck Norris! 😍😯 As one of the most recognized men in the industry, he is known for «The Hitman» and «The Delta Force»! 👏🎬 Being both a brilliant martial artist and great actor, he has already celebrated his 8️⃣5️⃣th birthday remaining the same legend in the eyes of his fans! 🥹❤️🩹 I will show how he has changed in this article! 👇
Born on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma, he was raised in a family where his father was a mechanic and truck driver. The man, however, suffered alcoholism. On the other hand, his mother was truly caring doing her best to provide them with the best future. Wilton always felt responsible for his younger siblings. Due to his dad’s addiction, the family often struggled financial problems and the man had to change jobs all the time.
This ultimately led to his parents’ divorce after which they moved to California in pursuit of a more peaceful life. This, of course, shaped Norris making him more resilient and independent. As a schoolboy, he was a shy and insecure child in whom teachers failed to see any potential. Since his tender ages, he had admired heroes and their deeds being fond of movies.
Despite his father’s absence, his mother believed in him teaching him high morals as well as the importance of hard and diligent work. When he relocated in California, he kept being mocked and this time for his southern accent and too humble nature. After serving in the US Air Force, he won many martial arts companionships and then trained even celebrities in martial arts.
This gradually transitioned into acting with his roles in «Breaker! Breaker!», «Good Guys Wear Black» as well as «The Delta Force» and «The Hitman» that catapulted him into global fame and recognition. This proves that even the most unlucky people can achieve incredible heights with their strong will-power and consistency.
