Hollywood action star Chuck Norris has hit out at US Presidential hopeful John McCain - saying he is too old and might die in office if elected. Norris - a supporter of McCain rival Mike Huckabee - said he believes that being president accelerates the aging process three years for every one, CNN reported.
He said: "That's why I didn't pick John to support, because I'm just afraid the vice president will wind up taking over his job within that four-year presidency."
Norris, 67, added: "I'm thinking, now, John takes over the presidency at 72, then, if he ages three to one, how old will he be in four years, he'll be 84-years-old. And can he handle that kind of pressure in that job? "
The Delta Force star is part of Republican rival Huckabee's so-called 'A-Team' of supporters - and has been seen next to him at rallies as the race to pick a candidate for the party continues, ahead of the 2008 Presidential elections.
Should McCain, now 71, win, he would be the oldest person in history to be elected to a first term in the White House.
