Australian funnyman Paul Hogan appears to have shaken off his recent health woes.

The Crocodile Dundee legend took the red carpet by storm at the G’Day USA Arts Gala in Los Angeles on Friday.

The 84-year-old looked highly animated as he smiled and clowned around for photographers.

The beloved funnyman cut a suave figure in a black suit and matching shirt, which he off-set with a vibrant pink tie.

He wore his steel-grey hair in a short cut and completed his outfit with a pair of smart black casual shoes.

Hogan made a return to public life in December following reports his health was worsening.

The Sydney-born star, who has been residing in Los Angeles for twenty years, had arrived back in his home town a year earlier in a wheelchair and was photographed being assisted by a minder.

The Flipper star stood up from the chair unassisted, but he struggled to walk as he clung onto his side, and appeared to be in agony due to his rib injury.

The actor has struggled with muscle wastage and dramatic weight loss after being diagnosed with retroperitoneal fibrosis (Ormond’s disease).

Discussing his condition during an interview with A Current Affair, Hogan revealed the benign growth has wrapped around the abdominal aorta and pressed on his kidney.

He admitted the devastating impact on his health had left him pining to leave the $3.5million Venice Beach home he shares with son Chance, 24, and return to the relative tranquility of his home country.

Hogan had a pacemaker fitted and said he is ‘being held together by string’ while attempting to work his way back to full health.
