Paul Hogan’s wayward son Chance shared a disturbing video on social media on Wednesday.
The 24-year-old is the youngest son of the 84-year-old Crocodile Dundee star and the only child the Australian actor shared with his ex-wife and co-star Linda Kozlowski.
He posted disturbing videos on Instagram, ominously claiming that something is about to “begin.”
Chance looked unrecognizable with his long brown hair and blue sunglasses, a cigarette between his decayed teeth and seemingly swollen gums.
“This is just getting started,” Chance said in his first video while giving the camera an exaggerated smile.
She then uploaded a series of selfies on a balcony of an apartment in Los Angeles while listening to music.
One photo showed him holding a beer while in front of him was an ashtray filled with dozens of smoked cigarettes.
Chance’s second video was the most concerning, as he appeared to share a countdown to an unknown event with his followers.

“One hour and 25 minutes, 24 minutes actually. That’s when it starts. We’ll see,” he said.
It’s unclear what is meant by “beginning,” and Chance hasn’t posted anything on Instagram in the hours since the latest video.
Daily Mail Australia has contacted Chance and his father Paul for comment.
Chance was last seen in March during a rare outing with Paul in Los Angeles, just months after he was hospitalized in October 2023.
Paul told DailyMail.com during his outing that his youngest son is “doing much better” following an emergency visit to the hospital.
Just months earlier, Chance had shared a disturbing video on Instagram of himself covered in cuts and bruises.
The 24-year-old actor is the youngest son of the 84-year-old Crocodile Dundee star and the only child the Australian actor had with his ex-wife and co-star Linda Kozlowski. All photos were taken in 2013.
But on a sunny March afternoon in Los Angeles, Chance looked much better as father and son enjoyed quality time together.
The aspiring musician has a history of erratic behavior and was reportedly obsessed with the devil years ago before his parents stepped in to help him get back on track.
Chance’s most recent troubling posts come just days after Paul’s ice-ravaged grandson Jake was rushed to a grim rehabilitation facility.
Jake, 34, confessed to a string of crimes in a desperate bid for one last chance to kick his uncontrollable ice addiction.
He pleaded guilty to a series of lesser offences on Friday to expedite the processing of his case in the New South Wales Drug Court and immediately entered a prison rehabilitation programme.
He posted disturbing videos on Instagram, ominously claiming that something was about to “begin.” Chance looked unrecognizable with his long brown hair and blue sunglasses, a cigarette between his decayed teeth and seemingly swollen gums.
Downing Centre Local Court magistrate Sharon Freund was told Jake had chosen the drug court option to enter the special detoxification unit, which requires inmates to plead guilty.
Jake is hopelessly hooked on methamphetamine and will be committed to the Compulsory Drug Treatment Centre at Parklea Prison, 40km west of Sydney.
His strict new prison regime will bring him a grim new reality where he will have no privacy, not even while in the bathroom, in his attempt to stay drug-free and win his release.
He will spend the next six months in closed detention receiving therapeutic intervention, and then another six months in semi-open detention.
When he is eventually released on parole, he will still have to undergo urine tests three times a week at the Parklea facility.
Specially designed bathrooms with windows allow staff to observe men giving their urine sample and ensure they are not trying to evade drug detection.
Just a few years ago, Chance looked healthy and happy. Pictured with his father Paul in 2019.
The drug court system is designed for inmates like Jake, whose crimes are directly related to their drug addiction. Violent criminals or armed robbers do not qualify.
While Jake has been repeatedly caught with tools used to burglarize vehicles and homes, including wire cutters and adjustable wrenches, he has not been charged with violent crimes.
Jake, whose famous grandfather is best known for his legendary Crocodile Dundee films, has had a number of arrests and violations since becoming addicted to ice three years ago.
His previous charges include keeping a knife in a public place, malicious damage, drug possession, shoplifting, bicycle theft and possession of stolen goods.
He was given the chance to turn his life around when his father fled New Zealand out of compassion and a magistrate released Jake into his custody.
But Jake breached the community order he had been given when his father Todd flew in from New Zealand and, along with Jake’s sister Lara, appealed for his release in May.
Chance was hospitalized in October 2023 for several cuts and bruises.
Jake has fallen back into meth, and photos obtained exclusively by Daily Mail Australia show the once handsome young carpenter looking thin and battered by the ice.
Todd, one of Paul’s five children with his first wife, Noelene, promised to help Jake comply with the court-imposed conditions, including abstaining from drugs and alcohol, not committing other crimes and appearing in court as required.
After being released from Silverwater Prison in May, Jake went to live with his father. at Edgecliff Lodge Motel in Sydney’s east.
But she reportedly rejected a quiet life of family dinners, preferring to meet up with friends for a night out.
Eight days after his release, police arrested Jake for an alleged previous theft of a bicycle and at around midnight on 27 July, Jake was arrested again in Glebe, in Sydney’s inner west.
He was charged with possession of 1.5 grams of methamphetamine and also with possession of burglary instruments, including a wrench.
When he failed to appear at Downing Centre Local Court on August 2, Magistrate Clare Farnan issued a warrant for his arrest and police brought him in six days later.
He was charged with a previous offence of stealing a black Trek Marlin mountain bike, recklessly destroying a bicycle security fence and entering enclosed land at Woolloomooloo in February.
He was also accused of stealing a Red Bull energy drink and two portions of health porridge worth $9.60 from Woolworths in July.
Chance’s recent worrying posts come just days after Paul’s ice-ravaged grandson Jake (pictured) 34 was rushed to a grim rehabilitation facility.
The Kings Cross Proactive Crime Unit also charged him with possession of vehicle braking tools in Kingsford in June, and he is also charged with contravening an AVO.
By pleading guilty to all charges against him and attending rehab in prison while his case is transferred to drug court, Jake may earn another chance to get out of jail, albeit with very strict conditions.
Paul Hogan shares sons Brett, Clay, Scott and Todd, as well as daughter Lauren with his ex-wife of 25 years, Noelene Edwards, whom he divorced in 1986.
In 1990, he married his Crocodile Dundee co-star Linda Kozlowski, with whom he shares Chance. The couple divorced in October 2013.
