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.

Houston, we have a problem!
I was just there this June. I was also there in 2021. One of my kids lives not far away. I walked the length of it (a fuzzy concept, but pretty much) both times. I also know what it was like from 10-20 years ago.
Yes, Venice Beach is a pit these days. I don’t know how the local homeowners (these are very expensive apartments/condos on the beach) tolerate it.
I don’t know about the regime, but Australia does not have anything like this degree of squalor.
Long Flight, deep vein thrombosis. Make certain to take some aspirin or nattokinase before you fly to prevent clots.
Holy crap, I never would’ve recognized him.
A few good videos from the “Paul Hogan Show.” One of his characters was Leo Wanker which inspired or was inspired by Super Dave Osborne.

Yeah, but when she was...she WAS.
This is where I would post a picture of her about to get eaten by the croc, but it might not go over well.
It looks like he has had a tube inserted in his throat at some time. He looks in a bad way physically and mentally.
I know. Can you imagine, finally getting a really nice, waterfront property, probably wanted it your entire life, then...having that happen?
I would be infuriated too.
