Shortly after, in Hollywood, Norris trained celebrities in martial arts. Norris went on to appear in a minor role in the spy film The Wrecking Crew (1969). Friend and fellow martial artist Bruce Lee invited him to play one of the main villains in Way of the Dragon (1972). While Norris continued acting, friend and student Steve McQueen suggested him to take it seriously. Norris took the starring role in the action film Breaker! Breaker! (1977), which turned a profit. His second lead Good Guys Wear Black (1978) became a hit, and he soon became a popular action film star.

Norris was born in Ryan, Oklahoma, on March 10, 1940, to Wilma and Ray Dee Norris, who was a World War II Army soldier, a mechanic, bus driver, and truck driver. Norris has stated that he has Irish and Cherokee roots. Norris was named after Carlos Berry, his father's minister. He was the oldest of three brothers, the younger two being Wieland and Aaron. When Norris was sixteen, his parents divorced, and he later relocated to Prairie Village, Kansas and then to Torrance, California with his mother and brothers.

Throughout his film and TV career Norris diversified from his regular endeavors. He is a noted writer, having penned books on martial arts, exercise, philosophy, politics, Christianity, western novels, and biography. He was twice a New York Times bestselling author, first with his book on his personal philosophy of positive force and the psychology of self-improvement based on personal anecdotes called The Secret of Inner Strength: My Story (1988). His second New York Times Best Seller, Black Belt Patriotism: How to Reawaken America (2008), was about his critique on current issues in the USA.

Norris also appeared in several commercials endorsing several products most notably being one of the main spokespersons for the Total Gym infomercials. In 2005, Norris found new fame on the Internet when Chuck Norris facts became an Internet meme documenting humorous, fictional and often absurd feats of strength and endurance. Although Norris himself did not produce the "facts", he was hired to endorse many products that incorporated Chuck Norris facts in advertising. The phenomenon resulted in six books, two video games, and several appearances on talk shows, such as Late Night with Conan O'Brien where he read the facts or participated in sketches.

Norris married his classmate Dianne Kay Holechek (born 1941) in December 1958 when he was 18 and Dianne was 17 years of age. They met in 1956 at high school in Torrance, California. In 1962, their first child, Mike, was born. He also had a daughter Dina who was born in 1963 of an extramarital affair. Later, he had a second son, Eric, with his wife in 1964. After 30 years of marriage, Norris and Holechek divorced in 1989, after separating in 1988, during the filming of The Delta Force 2.

On November 28, 1998, he married former model Gena O'Kelley, 23 years Norris's junior. O'Kelley had two children from a previous marriage. She delivered twins on August 30, 2001.

in 2017, hollywood actor chuck and his wife jenna publicly sued, 11 healthcare companies after they claimed jenna, was poisoned by a chemical injected into her.

Multiple times during magnetic resonance imaging scans at the time, jenna said that, within a few hours of receiving the injection, it felt like her whole body, was on fire and soon she was experiencing severe side effects, leaving her with horrible brain damage.

Mri scans usually help doctors to diagnose disease by taking pictures inside the body.

Sometimes individuals are injected with a drug, in this case gadolinium, which is used to improve the clarity of the images.

However, the couple claimed that jenna developed what is known as gadolinium deposition disease after being injected.

I couldn't think any more any type of cognition being able to articulate my memory.

I had muscle wasting jenna said when talking to cbs at the time, cbs continued to explain that the couple said that the gadolinium deposition disease caused other symptoms, such as burning pain, violent shaking confusion and kidney damage.

It almost scared me to death, chuck admitted nothing's going on here, she's dying, she's dying right in front of me here at this hospital.

When they do occur, they can either be acute or chronic.

Cbs news medical contributor, dr david agus added what we know is that gadolinium, this diet, that's used, can actually deposit in tissue, that's known now.

What we don't know is that it is actually associated with symptoms in patients.

These are critical tests.

I don't want to worry initially without real substantive data to actually stress people out, despite their fight in 2020 radiology business reported that the lawsuit against gadolinium maker bracco imaging, had been dropped by norris legal team.

Without any settlement, bracco takes patient safety very seriously and stands behind the safety of all of its products.

The company said in a statement pointing specifically to two of its gadolinium-based contrast agents.

Two of these prohance and multi-hands are used in mri of the central nervous system to better view lesions in the brain, spin and other tissues.

The nhs explains that mri scans can be used to examine almost any part of the body, and the results of these tests can be used to plan treatments and assess how effective previous treatment has been during an mri scan.

You lie on a flat bed.

That's moved into the scanner depending on the part of your body being scanned you'll, be moved into the scanner either head first or feet first, at certain times during the scan, the scanner will make loud tapping noises.

This is the electric current in the scanner coils being turned on and off the scan lasts, 15 to 90 minutes, depending on the size of the area being scanned and how many images are taken.

It goes on to explain that these typically do not.

Last very long, however, individuals with kidney disease are at risk of the dye, causing tissue and organ damage.

As a precaution, a blood test should be done beforehand to determine how well the kidneys are functioning and whether it is safe to proceed with the scan.
