LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'Crocodile Dundee' star Paul Hogan was seen with his troubled son Chance as the two went on a stroll in Los Angeles.

Recently, the 24-year-old was admitted to the hospital for an emergency, and he also shared a clip with cuts and bruises all over his body last year.

Hogan update on son Chance's health

Chance “is doing a lot better” as per his father. The Australian star donned blue jeans and a leather jacket, and is back in California after spending time in his native country.

Chance aspires to be a musician, but he has his wayward ways. The young artist chose ripped jeans, a polo shirt, and green sunglasses for his outing with his father.

Chance in an October Instagram post revealed a large cut on his collarbone and his friends smoking in the back of the car.

He moved the camera closer to his body and smiled while revealing other injuries on his body, including cuts on his forehead, bruises around his eye, and two bandages attached to a pulse oximeter on his chest.



 

Hogan shares Chance with Linda Kozlowski, whom he met while filming 'Crocodile Dundee' in 1986. However, the couple split in 2013, and since then Hogan raised him as a single father.

Hogan was quite ‘shattered’ to see his son's viral photographs, where Chance was seen crouching down and holding his head in his hands. Other controversial posts allegedly suggested that he was a devil worshipper - one showed the 'devil's number' 666 on Instagram.

Another had an image of a drawing of an inverted Christian crucifix. Chance during an interview with Woman’s Day, said, “It's like I'm a satanic devil worshipper and my parents hate each other, none of that's true.”

He added, “It's like, 'Hey, you're that Satanist drug-taking evil guy, right?''

Hogan previously said his son is an American, “The only family [Chance has got] is me.”

“All his friends, his band, musician mates, girlfriends, everything – they're all American," the actor added.

“He only has me, whereas my tribe at home, they've all got each other,” reports DailyMail.



 

Internet mixed about Hogan and Chance's day out 

The internet had mixed reactions to the father-son outing on a sunny LA afternoon. “It looks like he needs a shower,” wrote one.

The second commented, “Hi.. this is terrible.. why didn't he just leave him.. in Australia..before.. he became of age...sometimes.. parents forget... they gave birth to these babies.. not the other way round!”

“It's selfish and shameful for his mother to just walk out of his life. It's similar to Redmond O'Neal's having grown up with money and largely unsupervised in LA,” felt one.

Another expressed sympathy towards Chance, “Poor kid..to be so wealthy and receiving a trust fund for being someone's famous kid must be SO TOUGH!!! Arghhhh”.

“84 year old man with his troubled 24 year old son. These celebrities need to stop doing this, I have a feeling the kids are troubled more often than not," concluded one.
