TC. ‘Clearly exhausted’: Ex-wife’s fears for Paul Hogan weeks after family crisis

When Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan was spotted out in public just hours after the arrest of his 27-year-old son in May, the strain on his face was clear to see.

The 86-year-old star appeared gaunt and sombre as he stepped out clutching a car key, the same day that police arrived at his Venice Beach home following reports of a domestic disturbance.

The incident saw the actor’s only son, Chance Hogan, arrested on suspicion of domestic battery, and later charged – with bail set at $AU27,770.

Now, sources tell Woman’s Day that Paul’s loved ones – including his ex-wife Linda Kozlowski, with whom he remains on friendly terms despite their 2014 divorce – are worried about the toll the latest family crisis is taking on the ageing acting legend.

“You can see how frail Paul has gotten just by looking at him. He used to be so healthy, but he’s skin and bones these days,” an insider shares.

“His age is certainly a factor but his friends are all convinced what’s really doing him in is all the stress over Chance.

“Paul used to have such a spark, he was never one to stay home watching TV but that has changed lately. He’s clearly exhausted.”

The source claims that seeing how much Paul has changed in the last year alone has been “shocking” for those who haven’t seen him in a while.
