Crocodile Dundee icon Paul Hogan has opened up about his debilitating health issues. In an interview for Australia's A Current Affair, the 83-year-old actor revealed that he has been diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis, a rare inflammatory disorder, and a benign tumour that has wrapped around his abdominal aorta.
Hogan, who lives in Los Angeles with his 24-year-old son Chance, also recently had a pacemaker implanted and claims he is now too weak to open a jar. "I've lost all my body fat and the muscles all shrank and the strength has come back because it left me feeble.
I get Chance to open jars for me," he revealed. "Quite a few of my friends on diets hate me for it 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. "Hogan was given steroids to reduce the growth, but he now needs to rebuild his strength after the health scare drastically altered his appearance.
