\"\"There are few actors more iconic than Chuck Norris, at least when it comes to stunts, martial arts, and through-and-through badass films.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Over the years, the 82-year-old Oklahoma native has featured in around 40 films, and it wasn\u2019t long into his acting career that he got his big breakthrough.<\/p>\n

Chuck has had two long marriages; his second one is still going strong today. Moreover, he is a loving father to five children.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Recently, though, he shared some rather troubling news regarding the health of his wife.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s take a closer look at Chuck Norris\u2019 career and life.<\/p>\n

Chuck Norris was born on March 10, 1940, in Ryan, Oklahoma. The oldest of three boys, when describing himself as a young kid, he said he was \u201cthe shy kid who never excelled at anything in school.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chuck Norris \u2013 early life<\/p>\n

But in fact, Norris\u2019 childhood was quite tumultuous. His father was a heavy drinker, and when Chuck was just age 10, he suddenly disappeared, leaving his mother, Wilma, all by herself.<\/p>\n

She singlehandedly raised Chuck and his two siblings, but by the time Chuck Norris had turned 15, the family had moved 16 times. Ultimately, they settled in California.<\/p>\n

Now, Wilma was a devoted Christian, and ensured that Chuck and his brothers \u2013 Wieland and Arron \u2013 went to church wherever they lived. As a result, Norris developed a close relationship with God.<\/p>\n

Chuck attended North Torrance High School, though by 14, he had started to take on more responsibility at home. As well as studying, he helped his mother in taking care of his brothers while she worked.<\/p>\n

\u201cGod has a plan for you,\u201d Wilma would tell Chuck daily.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe loves Jesus with all of her heart and soul and made sure we understood that [growing up],\u201d he was reported as saying by Baptist Press.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe influenced me spiritually and instilled in me a sense of responsibility that carried over in my later adult life, she always told me \u2018God has plans for you,\u2019 and I didn\u2019t know what she meant. I think I do now.\u201d<\/p>\n

It was in 1958 that Chuck married his high school sweetheart, Dianne Holechek. But we\u2019ll come back to that in a short while.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
