Action star Chuck Norris is said to have been hospitalised in Hawaii.
In what has been described as a ‘medical emergency’, the 86-year-old was reportedly taken to a hospital on the island of Kauai in the last day or so.
It comes shortly after the star, who is a black belt in a range of martial arts, celebrated his birthday earlier this month and posted about it on social media.
The nature of said emergency has not been reported, but TMZ has claimed a source told them Norris is in ‘good spirits’.
In the video to celebrate his birthday, the star of TV show Walker, Texas Ranger shared footage on Instagram sparring with a trainer, writing in the caption: ‘I don’t age. I level up.’
He added to his over 2million followers: ‘I’m 86 today! Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young.’
He continued: ‘I’m grateful for another year, good health and the chance to keep doing what I love. Thank you all for being the best fans in the world.’
The actor, whose silver screen roles have included The Way of the Dragon and The Expendables sequel, went on to say: ‘Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know.’
In 2017, Norris said he had given up his film career to focus on the health of his wife Gena O’Kelley, who he married in 1998.
At the end of last year, Norris shared the news that his first wife and high school sweetheart Dianne Holecheck had died aged 84 after a dementia diagnosis.
In a tender Facebook post, he said he was ‘deeply saddened’, writing: ‘After being married for 30 years, we were able to find a way to remain close friends, and those years of friendship meant the world to me.
‘Dianne was an incredible person. She was kind, intelligent, and lived life to the fullest. Her presence in my life will never be forgotten.’
He described her as a ‘loving and devoted’ mother to their Mike and Eric, who are among the five children he has.
Metro contacted Chuck Norris’s representative for comment.
