Actor Chuck Norris urgently hospitalized after feeling unwell in Hawaii

American actor and former world karate champion Chuck Norris fell ill and was urgently hospitalized in Hawaii, the specialist site TMZ reported on Thursday.

The media does not specify the circumstances of this discomfort, except that it occurred “during the last 24 hours on the island of Kauai”. Contacted by AFP, his team refused to comment. TMZ specifies that the actor nevertheless remains “in good spirits”.

“I’m not getting old”

Chuck Norris, a martial arts star who made his mark in Hollywood starring in action films in the 1980s, turned 86 last week and marked the occasion with posts on social media.

“I’m not getting old. I’m taking it to the next level,” he wrote in the caption of an Instagram video, where he is seen boxing with a partner. “There’s nothing like a little action on a sunny day to make you feel young,” added the actor, a black belt in several disciplines.
