‘Crocodile Dundee’ Star Calls Troubled Son a ‘Terrible Person’

The 85-year-old comedy icon opened up about his unruly son Chance, 27, in an interview to promote a new cut of “Crocodile Dundee.”

Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan has revealed that he wants to move back to Australia but is forced to remain in the U.S. because of his “terrible” son Chance, 27, who recently sparked concern following a series of public incidents. The 85-year-old comedy icon told Today Show Australia‘s Richard Wilkins that Chance is “a terrible person because he knows [tabloids] are watching him and he puts something on for them.” Chance—Hogan’s youngest son with his Crocodile Dundee co-star and second wife Linda Kozlowski—posted a video on Instagram in January in which he slurred his words while sipping wine in public. “This is my life. This is what it’s been reduced to,” he said. “Please. Please kill me. I’m begging you.” Moments later he followed up with another video, saying, “I take it all back. I am living the dream... I never want to leave this table.” According to Daily Mail, Chance has lived with his father in Los Angeles since Hogan and Kozlowski divorced in 2014. Hogan, who was promoting a new cut of Crocodile Dundee, released for its 40th anniversary, said he’d move back to Australia “tomorrow” if he could—but added, “I have business reasons and my son to stay in the States for now.”
