Blond babe Paul Hogan put Australia on the cinematic map and made the phrase “Put another shrimp on the barbie” famous! The stunner from The Land Down Under first entertained viewers in his homeland with the sketch comedy series The Paul Hogan Show (1973-1984). Not only did the saucy Aussie perform in the hit, he also produced and wrote it! No wonder why he won the TV Week Logie Award for Best New Talent in 1973. By 1986, the rising star made international audiences rise when he played the titular part in the popular pic Crocodile Dundee. Set in the Australian Outback and New York City, the action comedy features Linda Kozlowski, David Gulpilil, and Hogan’s hot body! In addition to showing off his sense of humor, Paul flashes his abs and gams while taking a sudsy bubble bath! For his revealing role, the handsome hunk picked up a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and was nominated for a BAFTA. As successful with ticket sales as it was with critics, the movie is the highest-grossing film of all time in Australia and the highest-grossing Australian film worldwide! In fact, the blockbuster spawned the sequels Crocodile Dundee II (1988) and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles (2001). Unfortunately, Hogan kept covered up in both. The witty dude donned a tuxedo when he co-hosted the 59th Academy Awards in 1987. But if Mr. Hogan is looking for a statuette with his name on it, he ought to take a peek in Mr. Man’s pants!
