In the 80s , there were good martial artists that were actors. Van Damme kickboxing champ Lungren karate champ Bruce Lee kung fu champ Chuck Norris karate champ Steven Seagal energy mental martial arts champ why those days no actor is a martial artist? (not mma, but in any martial art) please dont mention Rampage or Woodley are actors...or Randy
I love van damme but he never was a kickboxing champion and Bruce lee never was a kung fu champ. Bruce had few semi contact point fights against nobodys
Gina Carano is becoming a successful actress. She was a big part of the Mandalorian which was the #1 series for a bit.
They don't really make movies like those anymore. But I'm sure a lot of actors train in some type of martial arts but they have other talents, like actually acting, so they don't need to lean so heavily on it like Van Damme or Chuck Norris had to.
