Paul Hogan’s secret reunion with ex wife Linda Kozlowski revealed
Paul Hogan and his ex-wife Linda Kozlowski are set to reunite.
The retired Australian actors, who achieved international fame with Crocodile Dundee, will appear side by side on the big screen next year for the first time since 2001’s Crocodile Dundee.
Paul, 85, and Linda, 66, who famously swore off Hollywood in the early 2000s, reunited to make Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut, a digitized 4K remastering of their iconic film and its accompanying behind-the-scenes documentary .
Crocodile Dundee is the latest Australian film to get the 4K restoration treatment from Kismet Films, which will release the film in Australian cinemas in 2025.
In addition to the 4K Encore Cut, Kismet is also distributing a new documentary, Crocodile Dundee: Lightning in a Bottle, which delves deeper into the people behind the historic film.
‘Paul and Linda have had their ups and downs over the years’ New idea reported this week.
Kozlowski became a top box office star after making a big splash in the 1986 hit film Crocodile Dundee alongside her ex-husband Paul Hogan, now 85
Paul Hogan, 85, who starred as Mick Dundee in the instant classic, has reportedly found a ‘new lease on life’ after several years of ill health thanks to the new Crocodile Dundee project. Pictured in 2024
But after several years of ill health, they added that the project has revived the actor.
‘This project makes all three enthusiastic. It gave Paul a new lease of life.”
Sparks famously flew between Paul and Linda on set in the Australian Outback, while Hogan – 19 years older than Kozlowski – was still married to his wife Noelene Edwards.
The couple married in 1990, welcomed Chance eight years later and divorced in 2014.
Chance was “very young” when his star parents divorced, an insider told New Idea on Sunday, saying he “welcomes” them working together again.
The wife of Crocodile Dundee producer John Cornell began uncovering and archiving old material from her husband’s shed in 2021 after exposed found footage, photos, scripts, notes, faxes, props, and boxes and boxes of never-before-seen items.
After his film career took off, Paul left his home country of Australia and settled with Linda in Los Angeles in the 1990s.
The self-described ‘smart alec’, who grew up in Sydney’s western suburbs and worked on the construction of the Harbor Bridge, still lives in Venice Beach with Chance, now 26.

His online behavior has also become more erratic, raising further concerns.
The concerned father is reportedly trying to get his son back on track.
During his last worrying public sighting, on November 14, a confused Chance was seen walking aimlessly down the street and approaching a darkened car near the house where he is believed to be living with his father.
He looked almost unrecognizable compared to the floppy-edged boy who would accompany his parents to red carpet events in early 2010, when he appeared to pick up a white package from a driver after a brief conversation.
He recently shared a bizarre video in which he ominously claimed something was ‘about to start’ as he bared his infected gums for the camera.
Linda has now remarried and divides her time between the United States and Morocco.
