The Australian actor, best known for his role as the series’ explorer Mike Dundee, has battled a number of devastating health challenges, including a benign growth on his kidneys. Paul Hogan, 83, has also stated that he is too weak to even open a jar.
The source of his disease was determined to be retroperitoneal fibrosis, which causes the growth to encircle the abdominal aorta and press on his kidney.
In an interview with Tracy Grimshaw, anchor of A Current Affair, the veteran actor described the condition, stating he had “lost all of his body fat.”
