The son of Crocodile Dundee actors Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski was arrested outside his father's home for domestic battery on Friday, the New York Post reported.

Hogan, 86, is best known for the beloved 1986 film, which tells the story of a journalist, played by Kozlowski, who travels to rural Australia to meet Michael “Crocodile” Dundee. The film became a fan favorite back in the ’80s and spawned a series of sequels, including Crocodile Dundee II and Crocodile Dundee in Los Angeles. While Hogan tends to live a quieter life these days, he was spotted by the Post outside his Los Angeles home following the arrest of his and Kozlowski's son, Chance.

Chance was booked for domestic battery, and his bail was set at $20,000, the Post noted, adding that it was unclear if the incident also involved Paul or someone else inside the home. An unknown female on the scene was spotted filling out information for the police.

Why Did Linda Kozlowski Quit Acting?

Kozlowski wasn’t finding the fulfillment she desired in the acting world, and ultimately chose to say goodbye to Tinseltown. In 2001, she told the Scripps Howard News Service that the projects she was being offered weren’t giving her what she needed.

“These straight-to-video schlocky films I was getting were giving me an ulcer, basically because I was the only one on the set that cared about anything,” Kozlowski shared. “I’d say, ‘Well, this scene doesn’t make sense.’ [They would say,] ‘Aw, so what, just say the lines.’ [And] I thought, ‘This isn’t fun anymore. This is not why I studied, it’s not what I love.’ Between that and my biological clock, I decided to give it all away.”

According to HELLO!, she now runs a Morocco-based tour company with her husband, called Dream My Destiny.

The Memorable Crocodile Attack Scene

One of the most memorable scenes of Kozlowski’s from the original film is when her character is seen attempting to refill her canteen as Dundee watches lovingly from a distance. Unfortunately, a crocodile jumps out of the water and catches the canteen in its mouth, nearly strangling her until Dundee saves the day. Who could forget that iconic ’80s moment?
