(UPDATED)
Chuck Norris was rushed to the hospital on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, due to a medical emergency.
It happened sometime over the last day or so . . . but there’s no word what was wrong. And as of yesterday, Chuck was said to be in “good spirits and cracking jokes.”
Chuck, who just turned 86, had actually been training on Wednesday. There’s no word if his “emergency” had anything to do with that.
