'Put that in my will': Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan's final wish to return home to Australia revealed as he opens up about family and health at 85
Paul Hogan has spoken candidly about his health, family and legacy in a new interview, revealing the deeply personal- and unmistakably Aussie- farewell wish he's now made official in his will. The 85-year-old comedy legend, who now lives in Los Angeles, told Channel Seven's Sally Bowrey that when the time comes, he wants his ashes scattered from Sydney's iconic Harbour Bridge a place that holds deep personal meaning, given his early years spent working on it as a rigger. "I want my ashes scattered off the Harbour Bridge," he told Bowery in an interview, which aired Monday. "I put that in my will." While Hogan has travelled between LA and Sydney in recent years, his most recent trip in May sparked concern after he was spotted being wheeled through the airport by Qantas staff. But true to form, Hogan laughed off the attention with his trademark grin. "They got me in a wheelchair," he said. When asked directly about his health, Hogan didn't shy away. "Well, I have arthritis, and I have a knee, which, much to my embarrassment, I injured skateboarding… I'm an 80-plus skateboarder," he laughed. Bowrey praised his spirit, saying skateboarding as an octagenarian was no small feat. "Well, I've been a late starter all my life," Hogan replied. The Crocodile Dundee star, who penned the now-iconic script in just four weeks, reflected on his unlikely rise from blue-collar worker to global superstar. "One minute I'm a blue-collar worker on the Harbour Bridge, and next minute I'm meeting the Queen," he recalled. Born in Parramatta in 1939, Hogan first found fame in a chance appearance on the Nine Network's New Faces program, which led to a television career and a fateful partnership with the late John Cornell, his best mate and co-creator of both The Paul Hogan Show and Crocodile Dundee. At age 46, with four kids already, Hogan became an international sensation thanks to the 1986 blockbuster, winning a Golden Globe and scoring an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. Despite the fame, Hogan says he still finds media attention overwhelming, especially when it comes to his youngest son, Chance, whom he shares with ex-wife and Croc Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski. "I get a bit annoyed with the press I get off the rags from my 'troubled son' Chance," he said. "He's pretty clever, because he knows… there's this paparazzi guy who lives down our street, and he plays it up. But he's actually a hero." Hogan added that Chance is still working hard to build his own career. The 27-year-old is currently the lead singer of punk band Rowdy P. "As soon as he does, I'll be back here (in Australia)- unless he comes with me, then I'll be back sooner," Hogan said. Bowrey said the interview left her touched by Hogan's signature wit and warmth. "He still has that gorgeous twinkle in his eye," she revealed after the interview on Sydney's 7NEWS. "He's just the most delightful person to interview and spend time with."

Earlier in the year, he took to social media to share a video of himself drunk as he begged for somebody to "kill" him. In the upload, he sipped on wine as he said "This is my life." Speaking on the Today Show in May, Paul was asked about Chance. he admitted he was "alright. Better than he gets." The actor went on to say: "He gets a lot of tabloid stuff, but he's a terrible person because he knows they're watching him and he puts something on for them." Despite Chance's alarming social media posts, Paul told the Daily Mail last December: "It's a lot of made up stuff and a lot of it he (Chance) does on purpose." While Paul made the confessions, sources claimed his son could give him his blessing for the move. "Paul felt healthier than he had in months, and even Chance agreed that Australia had been good for them both,'" a source told New Idea. In January, Paul made a rare appearance as he celebrated the reboot of classic series Crocodile Dundee. He walked the red carpet at the premiere and donned a stylish brown leather jacket over a black shirt and matching jeans. He opted for a leather belt and black trainers to complete the look as he posed for cameras at the event.

Meanwhile, Chance found himself caught up in a crime investigation. Here's a breakdown of all the action. Phyllis (Michelle Stafford) walked into the maze and stumbled upon Damian (Richard Burgi) doubled over in Cane's (Daniel Goddard) arms. He had a dagger lodged in his back, and despite their attempts to check for a pulse, it was clear that he was dead. Phyllis questioned if she should attempt CPR, but Cane told her it wouldn't help. As he paced, Cane explained that he hadn't stabbed Damian, and they had been drinking and talking when things took a sudden, violent turn. Phyllis wondered if the drink had been poisoned, but Cane denied it, stating that he'd been drinking the same thing. They realized that the dagger had been thrown from a distance, and neither of them had seen who was responsible. Cane was adamant that Damian had likely not been the intended victim, but he was the only one with a clear motive for the attack. MORE: Find out what happens next on Y&R. Cane quickly left to find Chance (Conner Floyd), and on the train, Devon (Bryton James) and Abby (Melissa Ordway) were having a drink and discussing how they had been trying to treat their stay like a vacation, though the novelty was wearing off. Chance had been hiking a lot, and the group discussed the lack of progress on the case. They speculated that Cane's newfound wealth might have made him paranoid. Devon and Abby tried to focus on the positives, like their upcoming return to their loved ones, but Chance was still busy trying to figure out what had happened to Damian. Phyllis and Cane rushed in, looking for Amanda (Mishael Morgan), and Cane asked to speak with Chance privately. This left Abby and Devon wondering what had gone wrong. READ MORE: Jermaine Rivers said goodbye to Y&R. In the dining area, Lily (Christel Khalil) confronted Amanda, questioning whether Cane had put Damian through the ringer over their relationship. Amanda assured Lily that Damian could handle himself, but the two debated Cane's motives. Lily admitted that she still had concerns about Cane's behavior and how he had been acting toward her. Amanda acknowledged that Cane was deeply in love with her and would go to great lengths to win her back. However, Lily insisted that she had moved on. She had found someone special in Damian, and the idea of returning to Cane was out of the question. WATCH NOW: Have you watched Soap Hub's podcast yet?! Cane returned to the scene with Chance, showing him Damian's body and pointing out that the dagger was missing. He recounted how they had been drinking and discussing Lily when they both started to feel woozy, and suddenly, Damian had been stabbed. Cane was certain that the attack was meant for him, not Damian. Chance, still skeptical, questioned whether they had been poisoned or if the alcohol had simply made them dizzy. Cane insisted that no one had had access to the drink except them, and they both agreed that the dagger must have been removed by the killer. They speculated that whoever had thrown it had returned to take it, but Chance needed more evidence. Cane revealed that the dagger was part of his personal collection, which raised more red flags. Back in the maze, Phyllis ran into Nick (Joshua Morrow), who was looking for Sharon (Sharon Case). Phyllis, seemingly rattled, admitted that there were serious life-and-death issues at play. Nick was concerned but didn't fully understand what was going on. Lily arrived and asked if Phyllis had seen Damian. Phyllis stood speechless as Cane and Chance appeared, bringing Damian's body on a stretcher. Lily demanded to see who was under the sheet, and she gasped when she saw that it was Damian.
