Crocodile Dundee legend Paul Hogan is said to be 'worried sick' about his son's increasingly erratic behaviour.
The movie legend, 85, is said to be deeply concerned following his youngest child's erratic online actions, and after he was seen looking dishevelled as he loitered in alleys near to his father's Venice Beach home in California. His son's lifestyle is a reportedly really affecting the veteran actor - and he is now considering what action to take including returning to his native Australia.
A source says Paul is now contemplating returning Down Under to live with Chance. Speaking to New Idea, a family friend said that it is "high time this kid got his act together and stopped stressing out his dad".
They went on: "Paul is at a crossroads over how to handle all this. One option would be to move back to Australia, but Chance doesn't want to leave America. So they're stuck in limbo, which is so hard on Paul and very hard for his friends to sit back and watch."

He also has three other sons, Brett, Clay, Scott and Todd, as well as daughter Lauren with his ex-wife of 25 years Noelene Edwards. The pair called time on their marriage in 1986. Mirror Online have approached the Hollywood star for comment.
Paul is best known for playing Michael J. 'Crocodile' Dundee in the trilogy of films Crocodile Dundee, Crocodile Dundee II, and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. The films were released in 1986, 1988 and 2001 respectively. The role bagged Paul a Golden Globe award and a BAFTA nomination for the first film in the series.
The trilogy pulled in $607,202,827 (£479,623,440) at the Box Office and made Paul a global star. He has appeared in other films including Flipper and his own TV comedy series The Paul Hogan Show. The actor himself shot down speculation of a new flick after rumours swirled in 2018. He said at the time: “The second one did huge business, but the third one sort of died. I thought the third one was flogging a dead horse so I don't think I will be pushing for a fourth one.”
Back in 2022, Paul revealed he had been diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis - an inflammatory disease which strips the body of fat. Speaking about his condition with Australia's A Current Affair, Paul explained: "I've lost all my body fat. I get Chance [his 25-year-old son] to open jars for me.”
“Quite a few of my friends on diets hate me... because I try and eat everything fatty and lardy you can think of. Everything they're not allowed to have. I can't put on an ounce."Retroperitoneal fibrosis is, however, a painful condition with one of the main symptoms being a painful sensation in the lower back or abdomen which medical experts describe as "dull, vague, and difficult to localise". It is not the only health issue that the film star is facing, however.
