Steven mentioned that his father, a professional racer, had a huge influence on his life. His own passion for racing not only displayed his exceptional skill but also honored his father’s legacy. This passion mirrored the values that were deeply instilled in Chad McQueen.

Steven added, “He passed his passion, knowledge, and dedication down to us, and we will continue not only his legacy but also our grandfather’s.”

He mentioned that the family is navigating this difficult time and has asked for privacy as they remember and celebrate Chad’s remarkable life.

Fans remember Chad as Dutch in “Karate Kid” and its 1986 sequel, “Karate Kid II.” He was the only son of the legendary actor Steve McQueen and admired his father deeply. Chad’s love for motorcycles started early, with his dad introducing him to riding when he was just six years old.

Chad shared, “I started racing at nine. It was our way of bonding and spending weekends together—not throwing a ball around but racing motorcycles. I looked up to my dad and wanted to be as fast as he was.”

Chad admitted he loved racetrack racing despite its risks, noting that he saw people getting hurt or even losing their lives. “I was surrounded by two things: film and motorsports, and motorsports always seemed to attract me more,” he said.

Now, the founder of McQueen Racing has passed away, but his influence on the racing world continues through his fans and his son, who has spoken about the deep impact it had on his own life.

Fans worried Miley Cyrus in “in danger” after spotting bodyguard’s hidden move at Grammy Awards

It was a big night for singer Miley Cyrus last night as she took home her first ever Grammy Award.

However, this morning it wasn’t just Miley’s success that was being talked about online, but also the worrying idea that she may have been in danger.

Why? Well, some eagle-eyed speculators online have suggested that they saw “odd behavior” from her bodyguard which might imply that he was anticipating a threat of some kind.

Now, we feel it necessary at this point to make it clear that there is no evidence that Cyrus was in any danger, beyond what people are claiming to have seen in a video doing the rounds online.

Nevertheless, said clip has garnered so much attention that it just won’t do to ignore it. So, here goes.

The video in question comes from the red carpet at the 2024 Grammy Awards, which took place last night (February 4) and saw a number of musicians – like, a lot of them – win awards for their work over the past year.

The evening saw Taylor Swift win her fourth Album of the Year award, and featured a surprise appearance from Celine Dion as a presenter. Miley Cyrus also won her first ever Grammy, but it’s arguably a video trending on X that has become the most talked about point of the night where the 31-year-old is concerned.

As mentioned, footage of Cyrus on the event’s red carpet has gone viral. The clip, which shows the Wrecking Ball singer walking beside her bodyguard, who is carrying an umbrella, is only eight seconds long, but has already wracked up a mind-boggling 32 million views.

At first glance there isn’t much of anything to spot in the video – anything out of the ordinary, in any case – but take one look at what people are saying on X and you’ll be brought up to speed.

“Fake arm holding umbrella. So arm is under coat presumably with a weapon. Completely unnecessary at the Grammy Awards. This bodyguard is a clown. But in serious environments the fake arm is a common tactic,” one person commented.

“Auto firearm dressed as an umbrella?” another speculated.

Pay close attention to Miley Cyrus’s bodyguard in this video at the Grammys all is not as it seems,” a third wrote.

A fourth added: “Did you catch the mysterious moves of Miley Cyrus‘s bodyguard at the Grammys There’s more to the story than meets the eye!

Naturally there were others who took a less suspicious approach to the whole thing.

It’s an umbrella weapon to rain lol! Not a gun,” one X user wrote.

Another added: “Miley Cyrus’s bodyguard is either carrying a gun disguised as an umbrella or is wearing a fake arm to disguise his real arm, again for security reasons. Bla, bla, bla. People are going nuts. It was raining. It’s an umbrella.

Tha narrative of a fake arm sounds good but let’s be realistic, it’s Miley Cyrus at the Grammies. This isn’t some world leader and I’m literally staring at his live hand holding an umbrella. It’s his juts him walking like he’s on a runway,” a third said.

What do you think? Have you had a look at the footage? Let us know.
