Burt, the famous crocodile from the movie Crocodile Dundee, passed away at 90. The Crocosaurus Cove reptile aquarium in Darwin, Australia confirmed his death in a social media post. They mentioned that Burt “passed away peacefully over the weekend.”
The post added that Burt was captured in the 1980s in the Reynolds River. He soon gained fame after appearing in a cameo in the 1986 comedy film. It added that he was moved to the Crocosaurus Cove in 2008, where he lived until his last days.
The recent news about the passing of the iconic saltwater crocodile has reignited interest in the beloved film Crocodile Dundee and its stars, Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski. Some fans even got confused as they wondered if the news was about Hogan. However, Paul Hogan is very much alive and so is his co-actor Linda Kozlowski.
Hogan became romantically involved with Kozlowski during the movie's filming and got married in 1990. However, they separated 23 years later, in 2014, citing irreconcilable differences.
They were spotted together in December 2024 as the former couple reunited to work on their upcoming project, Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut, slated to release in 2025.
Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski's relationship timeline
Before Paul Hogan tied the knot with Linda Kozlowski, he was married to his first wife, Noelene Edwards. They reportedly got married in 1958 and divorced later in 1981. However, the couple remarried in 1982 but their marriage lasted till 1989, when they finally separated.
During the course of their relationship, Paul and Noelene welcomed five children. A report in Distractify indicated that he worked as a lifeguard at the community pool where he met Noelene in 1958. "I was a massive flirt, and I liked her and she liked me, and we got married," Paul shared in a 2019 interview with ABC's Australian Story.
Another report stated that Paul Hogan left Noelene soon after meeting Linda Kozlowski while they were shooting for the film in 1986. She is 20 years junior to Hogan. After their romance flourished on the sets, Paul and Linda tied the knot in 1990.
"He's great as a husband. He's great to live with. It's more interesting [to be with an Australian man] because American men are easier to mould," Linda told in an interview with 60 Minutes.
The couple welcomed their son in 1998. Paul and Linda announced their separation 23 years later. Speaking about her divorce she told Sydney Morning Herald:
"I lived in Paul's shadow for many, many years and it's nice to feel my own light right now. Honestly, we just naturally grew apart. One of our problems was we really had nothing in common and, over time, that happens to a lot of people."

"We were opposites, and we were attracted to each other for a long time. Opposites in everything. From the food we ate, the music we liked, the entertainment we liked, the colours, the clothes, the places, everything, It worked anyway. It was 20 wonderful years, two or three that were sort of like worn out," Paul explained to Sunday Herald.
Paul Hogan’s role as Mick Dundee and Linda Kozlowski’s role as Sue Charlton in the iconic film Crocodile Dundee marked their breakthrough roles in mainstream cinema. The duo will be seen together in Crocodile Dundee: The Encore Cut which will be released in 2025.
