Legendary Australian actor Paul Hogan is known for his larrikin sense of humour.
And on Friday, ahead of the The Roast of Paul Hogan at The Palms, which celebrate the 82-year-old's career in film with some good old-fashioned insults, the Crocodile Dundee star made a comical threat.
Paul says nothing is off limits when it comes to the event on Wednesday, which will be hosted by popular comedy character Kenny, played by Shane Jacobson.

'The first thing I do when I step off the plane is an open palm slap across the face to Shane because I know all the things he's going to have a crack at me for,' he told on Friday.
