Australian legend Paul Hogan may be an uncommonly active octogenarian, but the 85-year-old actor revealed in a recent interview that he still has plans for what will happen to him after he dies. In an interview with Australia’s Channel Seven, Hogan said that he wants his ashes to be scattered at the iconic Harbour Bridge in Sydney. The bridge isn’t just an Australian landmark, it’s also a place of great personal significance for the actor: he worked as a rigger on the bridge. While working there in 1971, he had the idea to go on an Australian amateur talent show and ridicule the judges—the gambit that gave him his start in show business. Hogan went on to star in Crocodile Dundee, the highest-grossing Australian film in history. Hogan would later marry his Dundee co-star, American actress Linda Kozlowski, in a marriage that lasted from 1990 to 2014. The pair share a son named Chance, 27. Hogan now lives in Los Angeles, though he returns to Australia often and has spoken about his desire to move home but has said he wants to remain close to his son. He told Channel Seven that the reason he was recently seen being pushed around in a wheelchair is that he injured his knee skateboarding—an injury perfectly in character for the man many remember as adventurer Mick Dundee.
