'Crocodile Dundee': All About Paul Hogan's Wives & Children

Born on October 8, 1939, in Parramatta, New South Wales, Australia, actor Paul Hogan is best known for his portrayal of "Michael Dundee" in the 'Crocodile Dundee' TV series and film, opposite actress Linda Kozlowski, who played "Sue Charlton".

For his portrayal in the show, he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy.

Hogan also served as the screenwriter of the 1986 film, which earned him a Best Original Screenplay Academy Award nomination.

When it comes to his personal life, the 'Crocodile Dundee' star was married three times, to two different women. 

In 1958 he married to Noelene Edwards, but divorced in 1981. The following year, however, they ended up marrying again, with their relationship officially ending in 1989.

In 1990, following his and Noelene's split, which is considered one of the ugliest celebrity divorces of all time, Hogan married his 'Crocodile Dundee' star Linda Kozlowski.Paul and Linda remained married for over two decades, but ended up divorcing in 2014.

Paul Hogan and Noelene Edwards welcomed five children together: Brett, Lauren, Scott, Clay and Todd.

The siblings' lives have remained relatively under the radar as they struggled with their father's sudden fame.

Their third child, Todd, once said in an interview with 'Australian Story': "It attacks your self-esteem when no one's interested in what you're doing, when they're constantly asking you about what someone else is doing. Everything became, 'Oh, is he really your father?' It's not a normal question and so that irked me, and usually people who brought it up I sort of gave short shrift to."

Alongside Linda Kozlowski, Paul welcomed another child, a son named Chance.

In contrast to his five half-siblings, Chance has been seen in public with his father more than once.

2024 marks Chance's 26th birthday and it is known he lives with his dad.

Paul Hogan remains active in show business while also being a dedicated father to six children.

In 2023, he appeared in his TV special comedy show 'The Roast of Paul Hogan', sharing screen with Shane Jacobson, Ernie Dingo and Kerri-Anne Kennerley, among others.
