Linda Kozlowski has been enjoying a quieter life away from the spotlight since leaving her role in Crocodile Dundee alongside ex Paul Hogan. The pair were a hit on screen together in their iconic roles of Sue Charlton and outback adventurer Michael ‘Crocodile’ Dundee.
Life mirrored art as Linda developed feelings for her co-star Paul, despite their 19-year age difference. The couple married in 1990 and had a son, Chance, before divorcing in 2014.
The former couple shared the big screen once again in Almost An Angel in 1990 and in 2001 sequel Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles before going their separate ways.

Linda has stayed off screen since, even though she was nominated for a Golden Globe for her role in Crocodile Dundee. She told the Herald Journal in 2001 how working on “straight-to-video, schlocky films” was giving her “an ulcer”.
Adding of her decision to quit showbiz, she said: “I was about to turn 40 and just wanted to have a baby, and time was running out and I was miserable really, in the last two jobs I’d done.”
Linda, now 67, stuck to her word and shunned the limelight. Now, she has been spotted in a rare sighting with her ex Paul and their son Chance, 27.
She was once known for her long blonde hair, but has now opted for shoulder length brunette locks. The former actress stepped out for dinner at a local restaurant as she kept casual in black trousers, matching top and floaty shawl.

Linda added a Louis Vuitton handbag and beige sandals as she kept her long-time partner Moulay Hafid Baba close by. Paul was spotted in conversation in Linda as he donned blue jeans and a matching shirt under a leather jacket.
He had arrived at the family dinner with their son Chance, who has been living in Los Angeles since his parents’ divorce. Earlier this month, Paul opened up on his family dynamic with a very candid confession.
The TV star, 85, lives in the United States close to his son and admitted that while he would love to return home to Australia, he can’t see that happening any time soon.
Chance has left his social media followers concerned after a string of alarming posts. Earlier this year, he took to social media to share a video of himself drunk as he begged for somebody to “kill” him. He sipped on wine as he said “This is my life.”

“I have business reasons and my son to stay in the States for now,” Paul said. Speaking on the Today Show, Paul was asked about Chance, admitting he was “alright. Better than he gets.”
The legendary actor went on to say: “He gets a lot of tabloid stuff, but he’s a terrible person because he knows they’re watching him and he puts something on for them.”
Despite Chance’s alarming social media posts, Paul told the Daily Mail in December: “It’s a lot of made up stuff and a lot of it he (Chance) does on purpose.”
Just one month prior to this, a source claimed that Paul was at a “crossroads” over Chance’s social media outbursts and his behaviour. Speaking to New Idea, a family friend said: “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.”
