He wasn’t afraid to throw his weight around in the iconic Crocodile Dundee movie.
And comedian Paul Hogan admitted to The Herald-Sun on Tuesday he certainly wouldn’t hold back if he ever found out one of his ‘beautiful’ granddaughters had been harassed.
The claim comes as the 78-year-old reflected on the #metoo campaign and the countless women coming forward to out their sexual perpetrators.

‘I was staggered at the creepiness of people in Hollywood,’ Paul said.
He added: ‘I knew Harvey Weinstein was a grub… no one was shocked about Harvey.’
