And you know you want to celebrate the ginger man’s 77^th birthday.

It doesn’t matter why you want to celebrate it – maybe you were a huge fan of the TV series Walker, Texas Ranger (which unbelievably ran for eight seasons).

So what do you do?

Well, you could do worse if you’re on the NSW south Coast head the Illawarra Brewing Company on Friday, where they’ll be celebrating the 77 years the action movie star has been on the planet.

Part of the celebrations will include a big screen that will show some of the finest moments in Norris’ acting career – as well as all the other ones, too.

The crew at the brewery will be joining forces with Hank's Hot Dogs to serve lunch between noon and 3pm and then they’re back for dinner between 5pm and 8pm.

You may be asking why the brewery is throwing a party for a man who won’t even be turning up to blow out his candles.

Well, that’s because the Illawarra Brewing Company has its own version of Chuck Norris – in the form of a red ale.

It was first made way back in 2013 but it seems there are a lot of Chuck Norris fans because it's become one of the brewery’s most popular beers.

And there will be plenty of it flowing on Friday to toast the old guy’s birthday.
