Chuck Norris, once a pop culture icon known for his martial arts and tough-guy persona, has largely stepped away from Hollywood due to personal reasons. His last major role was in The Expendables 2 (2012), and he briefly appeared on Hawaii Five-0 in 2020.
The reason for his retreat from the spotlight? His dedication to his wife, Gena, who suffered from severe health complications after MRI scans. Norris focused on her recovery and raising awareness about gadolinium poisoning, a rare reaction to MRI contrast agents.

Though Norris is rarely seen in public now, his cultural influence remains strong. He continues to focus on his family, and his legendary status in pop culture endures.
