Biography[]
Beginnings[]
In Norbit, Norbit tells the story of his childhood. As a baby, Norbit's parents did not want him, so they threw him out of their car and drove off. Norbit was then raised by a Chinese man named Mr. Wong (who was like Norbit's new father) and his wife Ling-Ling.
Norbit was friends with another orphan named Kate Thomas; they knew each other ever since they were 5 in 1973; however, they were separated when Kate finally got adopted.
In Norbit[]
In 1977, while a 9-year-old Norbit was making a sand castle at school, two twin boys stomped on it and beat him up. Then a 10-year-old Rasputia grabbed the two boys, made them headbutt each other, then threw them away. Rasputia also forced Norbit to be her boyfriend.
Norbit and Rasputia were boyfriend and girlfriend up until high school and they got married and moved into a house. On every holiday, Norbit would dress up and Rasputia (who would also dress up) would run and jump on her husband and break their bed; however, during President's Day, when Rasputia tackles Norbit on the bed, the bed doesn't break as it had bricks underneath it. Norbit started working for Rasputia's three older brothers Big Black Jack, Blue, and Earl at the Latimore Construction Company until 1985.
Kate came back to town from Georgia to Tennessee with her conniving fiancé Deion Hughes. When Kate buys the orphanage and Deion tries to marry her so he and the Latimores could take over the orphanage and turn it into a strip club (which they call a "tittie bar").
Finally, Norbit breaks the wedding and exposes Rasputia's plan. He also files a divorce from her and marries Kate. However, it is unknown if Norbit and Kate have any children of their own or if they moved to another house.
Personality[]
Norbit is a highly intelligent, ingenue (formerly), crafty, shy, naive, goodhearted, altruistic, and lovable man who is always nice and caring to others, unlike his ex-wife Rasputia. Instead of fighting danger, he always runs away from it as he is too timid to fight until the end where he finally becomes a courageous fighter, even crushing Big Black Jack's fingers, proving his own courageous and heroic character.
