Chuck recently told a joke about Jada Pinkett. Will Smith slapped himself

[timhensley]

Chuck and Bruce's colliseum fight was the best fight scene to date. Chuck always talks good of Bruce, the sign of good friends.

It was nice of Chuck to invite David on to David's show, much respect to him such a gent ❤️

[Truth.]

I met Chuck as a kid, was very kind to me, im still grateful and impressed

[WarriorEsoteric]

“Most violence stems from insecurity“ Chuck expressed that perfectly

[tiagoribeiro]

A true gentleman. A badass and ahead of its time.

His laughter is contagious

When I was in high school circa 1972, my English teacher was the Pacific NW karate champion. One day he brought his friend to school for a karate demonstration assembly in the school gym. His friend was the California champion at that time. His friend was Chuck Norris.

In his movies you only see an unsmilimg TOUGH guy, very dangerous to face. But here, you see the soft spot of the man, always smiling and a REAL human being. So down-to-earth. Love and respect.

[Downey-]

It's crazy how articulate and well spoken the average person was 40 years ago compared to now .

[Michael_Number]

He is well-spoken and a humble person which is very hard to find in today's world.

[Rnyargd]

Watching a pre-mustached Chuck genuinely laugh and have a great time with Dave fills me with such warmth.

[expromanticart]

Chuck is so humble! His knowledge of Martial Arts and his philosophy has guided me through the last decades of my life. It is my dream to see him and tell him that he is one of the greatest assets in martial arts in the world. I love the guy! God bless you!

When Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone he had three missed calls from Chuck Norris.

[dr.davidenglish]

I've never been a big Chuck Norris fan, but that was a great interview. The two of them really seemed to hit it off and Dave asked him great questions.

[placeducinema]

How perfect is Chuck Norris? Man, he nails every second of that show. Just brilliant. And I'm not a fan, but he just made me a fan instantly.

[j.jmcquade]

When Chuck Norris breaths in Air, the Air is thankful to be part of something so special

[mgrlabs]

Chuck Norris is like a martial arts equivalent of Steve Irwin. Love his energy!

[georgevincent]

These two worked great together. Chuck was having such a great time and enjoying himself so much it was contagious.

[cyphr]

What a true gentleman. And you can tell he has true confidence. Its in his body with the way he walks and moves. A serene calmness.

[tldogmeat]

He sums up of the philosophy of martial arts perfectly. An articulate guy. He is a martial artist who is in movies and tv, not an actor.
