Chuck Norris garnered a lot of attention due to his friendship with Bruce Lee. However, it begs the question – who is Norris, really? We know that the actor worked as a teacher and was a trained martial artist. But there’s more to the legend than meets the eye. In an attempt to throw some fun into the mix, Chuck Norris once compiled a book of ‘fun facts’ about him. These facts were essentially exaggerated statements about the star, meant to invoke laughter.

So, how did he come across these ‘facts’ and what are some of the most interesting ones? Let’s find out!

Eating bullets and making doctors cry? Here are some Chuck Norris fun-facts

Chuck Norris might not be the most popular actor or martial artist, but he definitely has a unique presence in the respective fields. Many Chuck Norris fun facts are doing the rounds on the internet, and once Norris read out some hilarious and interesting ‘facts’ about himself. What’s important to note here is that these ‘facts’ were merely fun statements meant for entertainment only. In an interview in 2016, the star sat down to talk about how the US Military troops stationed in Iraq once came up with some fun sayings that he eventually compiled into a book. He recalled his days in Iraq when he went to visit the troops. That’s when he stumbled upon some entertaining facts given by the troops.

He picked out some hilarious statements that he found funny and shared them with his audience. The first fun fact was, “When Chuck Norris was born, the only person who cried was the doctor. Never slap Chuck Norris”. Carrying on this lore about the star not crying, here’s another fun fact from the troops – “Chuck Norris never uses a stunt double. Except during crying scenes.”
