How old is Paul Hogan, who’s the Crocodile Dundee star’s ex-wife Linda Kozlowski, where is he now and what films has he made?
PAUL Hogan is the Australian actor and comedian who's best known for playing Michael "Crocodile" Dundee in the Crocodile Dundee movie franchise.
But, what else do we know about the Academy Award nominee and Golden Globe winner? Let's take a look...
Who is Paul Hogan and how old is he?
Paul Hogan was born in Lightning Ridge in New South Wales, Australia, on 8 October 1939 - that makes him 78.
He started his showbiz career after appearing on Australian amateur talent show New Faces in 1971.
He appeared on the show as a "tap-dancing knife-thrower" and won over the audience by throwing knives and making jokes at the judges' expense. His act saw him make several appearances on New Faces.
He has also starred on British TV in advertisements for Foster's lager, playing an earthy Australian abroad in London. The line "Struth, there's a bloke down there with no strides on!" followed him around for years.
How many times has he been married?
Paul has been married three times - but twice to the same woman!
The actor and his first wife, Noelene Edwards, married in 1958. They separated and divorced in 1981, but re-married a year later. In 1986, they divorced again - and it was considered one of Australia's ugliest celebrity divorces. The pair have five children together.
Paul married his second wife, his Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski, 1990. However, she filed for divorce from the actor in 2013, citing irreconcilable differences. The pair have one child together.
After his 2014 divorce, Paul insisted he hadn't given up on love.
He said: “The secret to love and women is — if you’re lucky, you get a good one, and they stick around.
“If you’re real lucky, they’ll stick around for a long time. If not, you move on. I haven’t given up.”
