Carlos Ray Norris, or as we know him, Chuck Norris, was born on March 10, 1940, to Wilma and Ray Norris in Ryan, Oklahoma. His mother was just 18 years old and, unsurprisingly, spent seven days in labor. When he was born, his skin was blue because his lungs weren’t pumping.
Norris eventually parlayed his fighting skills into an acting career that showcased his smooth voice and powerful roundhouse kicks. He’s best known for the TV series “Walker, Texas Ranger” as well as action films including “The Way of the Dragon,” “The Hitman,” “The Delta Force” and “Missing in Action.”
Was Chuck Norris in the military?
Chuck Norris almost ran off and joined the Navy at age 17, but because his mother wanted him to finish high school before enlisting, he had time to rethink his choice of military branch and joined the Air Force instead.
None other than Chuck Norris. Norris, who served in the Air Force before rising to fame, says in his video that he was named an honorary Marine several years ago and has been proud of that distinction ever since.
