Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan has been spotted out and about for the first time in over a year as he ran errands in his crime and homeless-ridden Los Angeles neighborhood.
The reclusive Australian-born actor wearing jeans and a denim shirt looked gaunt as he pumped gas and washed his windows last month in his Venice neighborhood that has been overrun by vagrants.
The last time Hogan, 82, was photographed in public was last May when he was thought to be pinning up an angry note to vagrants camped outside his $3.5million Venice mansion.
Hogan denied writing the sign that read, 'THIS IS MY HOUSE NOT YOURS,' despite being pictured holding a red marker near the note. He claimed he was carrying the red marker near the sign because he was leaving instructions for an electrician.
Hogan is best know for depicting heartthrob adventurer Mick Dundee in the 1986 romantic adventure classic.
He moved to Los Angeles in 2005 with his then-love interest and former co-star Linda Kozlowski, who he met on the set of Crocodile Dundee.
He left his first wife Noelene to pursue a love affair with much-younger Linda, now 64, and they wed in 1990.
In 2014 she filed for divorce but they are said to still be on good terms and live in the same neighborhood while co-parenting their son Chance, 24.
In an interview with Sunrise last year, Hogan said he was 'desperate' to return to Australia and leave his life in America behind.
'I am desperately homesick,' he said.

I don’t blame him a bit for being angry as hell.
That used to be a nice place. Somewhere you think might have been a wonderful place to retire.
Now, it is a stinking Leftist sewer, eagerly populated by Leftist bums, encouraged by Leftist policies.
Yes. I would be pissed too, if I were in his shoes.
I don’t know his politics. Never wanted to know them.
Well, what's stopping him?
Extremely likable actor.... and he's right it is HIS HOME.
Quarantine is stopping him. He flies to Australia, he gets stuck in quarantine for two weeks.
To have a home that expensive I’m sure he pays a lot of taxes. All of his neighbors do. They all should be angry and complain.
It’s one thing to be “down and out” it’s another to let the place go to hell.
I always thought Linda was a bit cheeky.
His son is 24. Time to sink or swim.
And that’s a long flight when you’re 82. Even in first class.
if he’s hoping for a regime thats much different from LA back home I think he will be a bit disappointed.
He probably can’t sell his home without taking a huge loss. Who’s going to buy it with all of the crap around it?
International Wide Body aircraft, you board at LAX at 9pm. Have a blanket and a cocktail. Dinner time. Watch a movie time. Another cocktail or 3. Sleep after the movie ends. When you wake up, the server is bringing you coffee and you’re a hour out of Sydney and it’s 9 AM .
Easiest flight I’ve ever done.
It’s not like a Southwest cross country flight to Las Vegas.
He should sell and move to a red state. He’d be a lot happier.
And what with this rag making fun of his looks. He’s 82 and healthy looking for his age.
No one stays looking young forever.
Yep. Forgot that part. I have a mother-in-law who wants to go back to New Zealand but there is a good chance she would not survive the flight.
Deep vein thrombosis. Get up and walk up and down the isle every couple of hours.
“He flies to Australia, he gets stuck in quarantine for two weeks.”
****
he can fly back home ANY TIME.
The “real” reason he’s not is because he’s he’s not “vaxxed” or he wont chance getting stuck in COVID siberia aka the australian gulag for covid deniers.
I was at venice 2 weekends ago for a friend’s BBQ. It’s not really horrible but the houses at the beach line is riddled with tents.
I knew once the city connected the trains directly to Santa Monica Pier, it was game over. I’’ve been on the line from downtown L.A. and it’s full of ghetto animals and gross homeless who sleep on the trains.
now with tourist season in, I’m sure they will have a negative memory of the place.
When my buds were in high school, they walked down the beach Avery morning from Marina del Rey to Santa Monica High. Pleasant walk, lovely beach, totally safe, though there were a few harmless weirdos on marijuana.
No kid in the world should set foot on that beach now. What a waste of gorgeous homes with an incredible view.
Can’t see. My KIDS, not buds.
I thought he died of some aqTic animal stabbing him?
