Chuck Norris: Vintage Photos of the Man, the Myth, the Legend

How long have we been telling Chuck Norris "facts"? Did they start with the internet, or were people already swapping tales of his unstoppable power before that? Hard to say, but one thing is certain—Chuck Norris has been a legend since the '70s. Whether he was dominating martial arts tournaments (yes, he really was a world champion) or kicking his way through every second action movie of the '80s, Norris has always been synonymous with toughness.

When the internet came along, the myth only grew stronger. Suddenly, we had a never-ending list of Chuck Norris "facts" that turned him into an almost godlike figure. "Chuck Norris counted to infinity—twice." "When Chuck Norris does a push-up, he isn't pushing himself up, he's pushing the Earth down." The jokes never end, and neither does our love for them.

So, if you're ready for some vintage Chuck Norris goodness, here's a collection of classic photos of the man himself, accompanied by a fresh dose of legendary "facts" that prove once and for all—Chuck Norris isn't just a person. He's a force of nature.
