Stephen King paid a touching tribute to Chuck Norris following the legendary actor's death, choosing a path that would have made Norris smile. According to Parade, King took to social media platform X to honor his fellow icon by sharing some of Norris's most beloved jokes. King posted his favorite Chuck Norris fact, writing that Chuck doesn't flush the toilet, he scares the stuff out of it. He followed that up with another classic, noting that when Chuck was born, he drove his mother home from the hospital. But King wasn't just trading in laughs. He also shared a more sincere tribute, saying he thought Norris was genuinely great and revealing that the 1982 film Silent Rage had actually scared him and his boys. For a horror master like King to admit being frightened by a Norris movie speaks volumes about the respect he held for the actor.

The Chuck Norris Facts phenomenon that King was referencing has quite the backstory. According to Parade's reporting, the meme originated back in 2005 when a high school student created a website based on a Something Awful forum thread about Vin Diesel. The teen adapted the concept and asked for suggestions, and somehow Norris became the top choice. What started as an internet joke eventually pulled in tens of millions of website visits monthly and eventually led to an in-person meeting between the creator and Norris himself, followed by a book deal and even legal proceedings. Norris initially had mixed feelings about the trend but eventually embraced it wholeheartedly. By August 2023, Norris posted on Facebook that he and his wife Gena genuinely enjoyed the jokes and appreciated how they boosted his star power over more than two decades.

King's choice to celebrate Norris through humor rather than solemnity feels perfectly aligned with what the action star would have wanted. The combination of comedic tributes and genuine admiration that King expressed captures the unique legacy Norris left behind, one that transcended his film career to become a beloved cultural touchstone.
