Crocodile Dundee Stars' Baby Talk


CROCODILE DUNDEE (1986) couple PAUL HOGAN and LINDA KOZLOWSKI had to do plenty of exercise before starring in the film. The acting pair had both taken time out of their careers to play happy families, leaving Linda especially out of shape - due mainly to her pregnancy with son CHANCE.

Talking about doing new movie CROCODILE DUNDEE IN LOS ANGELES (2001), Linda says, "I was really quite shocked - I was huge. Chance was a big baby so I was like a beached whale. And I had also pretty much retired. When you're 40 in Hollywood you are not going to get many good parts, if any."

"There I was, sitting out on the countryside in Santa Barbara (California), and suddenly we were going back to work! I threw a slipper at him (Paul)! But once I read the script, I thought, okay, it'll be fun. But I had to run every day and eat a lot of grass to get in shape. "

But Linda is in fine shape now. She says, "It is a big thing getting back in shape, especially when you have a baby a little older in life and things don't go back to where they used to be. You realise why God intended for you to have babies when you are younger - it takes a lot of energy. I'm tired all the time now. " (ACW/O/RP)
