AceShowbiz - Paul Hogan makes it clear that he doesn't like the way the homeless camped outside his home. Getting increasingly frustrated with the situation, the "Crocodile Dundee" star gave them an angry warning by leaving a stern "my house not yours" note outside his $3.5 million mansion.
On Sunday, May 16, the 81-year-old was captured tapping a hand-written note on a pole next to his Los Angeles home's garage door. In the photos obtained by Daily Mail, he wrote a message that read, "THIS IS MY HOUSE NOT YOURS" with a red marker on a paper. He underlined the words "MY HOUSE" to further stress on his warning.
The images displayed Paul dressing casually. He wore a pair of blue jeans, a forest green sweater, and a pair of New Balance sneakers. He also wore a face mask. Later that day, Daily Mail reported that he left his home, which common locals have dubbed a "fortress," to pick up his 22-year-old son Chance, who lives with him.
Paul lives in Venice, where a sudden increase in homelessness has led to a frightening crime wave. His neighbor Tyler Proctor opened up to Woman's Day magazine to explain the situation surrounding the actor's mansion. He said, "Where Paul lives in hell on earth." He added, "His house is like a fortress and it needs to be. I can see why [he] wants to move out."
In an interview with "Sunrise" on May 10, Paul himself discussed living in Los Angeles during the coronavirus pandemic. He admitted, "I am desperately homesick. You're living in a country right now, alongside New Zealand, that's the light of the world." He added, "I'm living in LA county which has 10 million people, and about half of 'em got COVID. So am I homesick? You bet your life."
On the subject of the significant rise in homelessness around his neighborhood, "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" star said that he barely left his house. He stated, "The crime's up. I don't go anywhere. The minute I can come home without being locked in a hotel for two weeks, I'm back."
