Norris was best known for action roles, including Walker, Texas Ranger and The Delta Force, in the 1980s, before he became a cult figure on social media in his later years.
The actor was a renowned martial artist and fitness guru. Earlier this month, he celebrated his birthday by sharing a video of himself staying fit in a training session.
The star captioned the clip: ‘I don’t age. I level up. I’m 86 today!
‘Nothing like some playful action on a sunny day to make you feel young. 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. Your support through the years has meant more to me than you’ll ever know. God Bless, Chuck Norris.’
Norris had largely stayed out of acting roles in his later years but made minor cameos in action flicks, including The Expendables 2.
In the decades after his action-movie success, Norris became a well-known meme on social media, with people parodying his tough-guy image.
