4. He Started To Carry A .357 Magnum Everywhere Once He Got Famous
After Bruce Lee became renowned as being the guy that nobody could beat in a fight, tons out people set out to prove that that statement simply wasn't true: Lee received countless invitations to fight, some of which were forced upon him. As a result, the actor became afraid for his own safety - worried that a crazy person would step out of the shadows with a shotgun, blast him down, and cry out something like: "I managed to kill Bruce Lee!" This genuine concern for his own safety led to Lee carrying a .357 Magnum revolver with him wherever he went as something of a precautionary measure. It's kind of humorous that one of the world's most famous martial artists felt the need to carry a gun with him, but you can understand the mentality; Lee was good with his hands and feet. What if somebody attacked him with a weapon? Jess Glover, Bruce Lee's first student, would later confirm that the actor was a crack shot. Deadly in all ways, then.
