Chuck Norris has been taken to the hospital following a sudden medical emergency in Hawaii just days after celebrating his 86th birthday.
According to reports the incident happened within the last 24 hours while the actor was on the island of Kauai.
The exact cause of the medical emergency has not been made public so far.
Sources however say Norris is now in good spirits with people close to him describing him as upbeat despite the scare.
One friend who recently spoke to him said he was even joking suggesting he is recovering well.
The situation comes as a surprise especially as Norris had appeared active shortly before the incident. He was reportedly training on the island just a day earlier.
The timing has drawn more attention because it follows closely after his birthday.
The Walker and Texas Ranger star had marked the occasion by sharing a video of himself sparring with a trainer showing he was still keeping up with his fitness routine.
“I don’t age. I level up,” he wrote in the post adding that he felt grateful for another year of good health and the ability to keep doing what he loves.
Norris who also starred alongside Bruce Lee in The Way of the Dragon has long been known for maintaining an active lifestyle even in his later years.
