Paul Hogan, 85, shares his plans to 'die in Australia' and reveals the iconic location he wants his ashes scattered
Paul Hogan has revealed his plans to return to Australia before he dies. The 85-year-old actor, who has been based in Los Angeles since the 1990s, told 7NEWS on Monday that he wants to spend his final moments in his home country. The star says he wishes to return to Australia 'as soon as he possibly can' and even has plans to have his ashes scattered in Sydney. 'I want to die here. I am antique now, time just slips away,' Hogan said with a wry laugh. 'I want my ashes scattered off the Harbour Bridge. Put that in my will,' he added. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Paul returned Down Under in May for a month-long holiday, amid reports he's moving home for good. The iconic actor has expressed that he stays stateside to care for his son, Chance, 27. Hogan told 7NEWS on Monday that he is remaining in the USA for the time being, in order to support Chance, whom he referred to as his 'troubled son,' in his career. 'He's still trying to build his career up, and as soon as he does I will be back here,' Hogan explained. 'Unless he comes with me, I will be back sooner,' he added. Paul shares son Chance with second wife Linda Kozlowski, who was his Crocodile Dundee co-star. According to a recent report, Hogan may soon return home, with his son's blessing. 'Paul felt healthier than he had in months, and even Chance agreed that Australia had been good for them both,' an alleged source told New Idea. 'Chance has long known he's the reason why Paul remains in the States,' they continued. 'But this recent trip was a wake-up call. He can see how important it is for his dad to spend his twilight years on home turf. He now believes it will extend his life.' Chance has been living with his father in LA since his parents' divorce in 2014 after 24 years of marriage. Hogan recently shared details of his relationship with his wayward son. The Crocodile Dundee star was chatting to Today show entertainment editor Richard Wilkins about a new cut of the iconic film. 'Hoges' admitted he would love to make a permanent move back Down Under, but he is staying stateside for his youngest son Chance. 'It's where I belong,' he replied when asked what it was like to be back in Australia to promote the film. The Nine host pressed the star on whether and when he would like to relocate to Australia, to which he replied: 'Oh, tomorrow.' However for the time being he needs to remain in Los Angeles. 'I have business reasons and my son to stay in the States for now,' he said. When asked for an update on the condition of his troubled son he said: 'Alright. Better than he gets. '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.' Chance sparked concern for his welfare back in January. He shared concerning videos to his Instagram Stories in which he was drinking wine and slurring his words as he sat at a table in public. Hogan made the move to settle with former wife Kozlowski in Los Angeles in the '90s. The movie legend, who's originally from Sydney, left his home country behind following the success of the 1986 action-comedy film Crocodile Dundee.

Yankees' Max Fried receives warm welcome back to Atlanta at 2025 All-Star Game
Max Fried may not be playing in the All-Star Game, but he wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity for a homecoming. The Yankees' ace passed his spot on the AL roster to teammate Carlos Rodon with his rotation turn being too close to the action and then an issue with a blister popping up, but he still decided to be in attendance. Advertisement The game, of course, is being played in Atlanta, where Fried spent the first eight years of his big league career before signing in the Bronx. When the 31-year-old southpaw was announced during introductions for the American League, he received arguably one of the biggest rounds of applause of the night -- not including Freddie Freeman and the current Braves All-Stars. 'It's weird but also really comfortable [being back],' Fried said earlier on MLB Network. 'Obviously, I'm in a new place, but I come back and see a lot of the staff that were here, whether it be the training staff or the coaches or players, just everyone involved. Advertisement 'Walking back in, I'm very familiar with the people and the facilities, so I'm very comfortable but now I'm on the other side, I'm in the other clubhouse, I'm learning that -- so it is nice to be able to open the next series and get a little familiar.' Fried and the Yanks, of course, kick off the second half at Truist Park on Friday night. It's still unknown whether or not he'll be able to take the mound during that three-game weekend series, but he did say during Monday's All-Star Media Day that his blister was feeling a bit better. Fried's slotted in perfectly as New York's ace during his first year with the club -- winning 11 of his 20 starts in the first half and pitching to a stellar 2.43 ERA.
