From one action hero to another, Sylvester Stallone is paying his respects to Chuck Norris.
The Oscar-nominated actor, who costarred with Norris in the 2012 action thriller "The Expendables 2," paid tribute to Norris on social media following news of his death on Friday, March 20.
Norris, the martial artist turned movie star, died on Thursday at age 86, the actor's family confirmed in an Instagram post on Friday. A cause of death was not given.
"I had a great time working with Chuck," Stallone, 79, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the pair. "He was all-American in every way. Great man and my condolences to his wonderful family."
The beloved action star, born Carlos Ray Norris, was cast by Bruce Lee as the villain Colt in Lee's 1972 film "The Way of the Dragon," a breakout role that would pave the way for a decadeslong Hollywood career, which included hits such as "Missing in Action," "Invasion U.S.A.," "Code of Silence" and the TV Western "Walker, Texas Ranger."
