Paul Hogan WHY HE REALLY CAN'T COME HOME!

He desperately wants out of the States - but Oz is home to painful memories

Atearful Paul Hogan broke down on A Current Affair last week, telling host Tracy Grimshaw he's starting to "fall apart" and is itching to A return home to Australia.

"I'm not in the place I'm meant to be, but I'm not allowed to complain about anything," said the 83-year-old US-based star. "I've had such a gifted life. I've had so many wonderful things happen to me without deserving them, so I shouldn't

complain, but yeah, ideally I'd rather be back in Sydney because I miss the rest of my family there." Over the past few years, Paul has regularly complained that he wants to ditch his home in Los Angeles and return to Oz.

And the Aussie icon recently claimed that the only thing holding him in the crimeridden suburb of Venice Beach was the fact that his 24-year-old son Chance "doesn't have anyone else" in America, preventing him from moving back to Sydney.

"That was a strange comment because Chance's mother [Paul's ex Linda Kozlowski] has a home nearby - for a while there, they were close," says a source.
