Veteran Aussie actor Paul Hogan has made a welcome return home to Australia.

The Crocodile Dundee star was seen arriving at Sydney Airport on Wednesday, with airport staff pushing him through the terminal in a wheelchair following his long-haul flight from the US.

Despite looking frail, the 85-year-old was looked happy and in good spirits behind a pair of black sunglasses as he joked with staff attending to him.

Just weeks ago, Hogan was spotted having dinner in LA with his ex-wife Linda Kozlowski, 67, his co-star on the 1986 action-comedyCrocodile Dundee who is also the mother of Chance. They were married in 1990 but divorced in 2013.

The former couple, who had not been seen together in public in six-years, were accompanied by their son and Kozlowski’s longtime partner Moulay Hafid Baba.

In a previous interview with the Daily Telegraph, former Sydneysider Hogan said the only reason he still lives in the US is because of Chase, who lives with him in Venice Beach.

“I’ve been homesick for years,” he told the masthead in 2022.

“I miss the people, the ambience – and there’s something you just can’t put your finger on, but there’s something about Australia that is friendlier and more laid-back.”

“I’d rather be there, but I have my last child who is an American – he only has me, whereas my tribe at home, they’ve all got each other.”

Hogan has five other children from his previous marriage to Noelene Edwards. They were married in 1958 before separating and divorcing in 1981.

Together they share five adult children: Brett, Clay, Scott, Todd and Lauren.

Hogan was last in Australia in January this year when he attended the re-release of Crocodile Dundee almost 40 years later. Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut had cut out the film’s infamous groping scene involving his character Mick Dundee – a move Hogan welcomed.

“It’s not a matter of wokeness,” he told the Daily Telegraph at the time. “[Mick Dundee] is outback. He wouldn’t grope people.”
