And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

32-year-old Paul Hogan working as a bridge painter in 1971 – 15 years before he became famous as Crocodile Dundee.
That is not paint. It is primer. Definitely required for that purpose. Necessary for pre-paint application (corners, crevasses, tight spots, etc.). Actual paint will be applied later (compressed air, etc.). Worked in a similar union job in the 1970's :)
My girlfriend who is an Aussie lass told me Croc had worked on the Sydney bridge prior to fame. If you wanna watch a freaking funny tv series, download Russel Coight. The full Coight.
I did the Harbor Bridge Walk last Fall. I can tell you that Circular Quay and that part of the skyline doesn’t look like that. Perhaps it did in the past. Also, that cruise ship in the harbor certainly looks “old school”. In fact, it looks very odd.
I was in the original Crocodile Dundee! Barber shop scene. They asked me if I would shave my head for the scene. I had a day job selling equipment to law firms in Manhattan. So I said no. But still got into the scene walking down the stairs in the barber shop as the dude who agreed to be buzzed, got buzzed! Also in the scene outside when he threw the can of soup at the thief! Got $50 and a bag lunch!
Though the storyline may be true, I've also heard it elsewhere, this picture rings AI.
ReplyDeleteHaving many family in that line of work in the northeast, thats nowhere near believable.
Photo taken in 2019, so no AI, but certainly posed. You don't paint a bridge with a 4"brush and a one gallon bucket of paint.
DeleteLooks like a AI image, where is his left leg? Five fingers and the paint can and paint looksweird. Facts might be correct.

ReplyDeleteAre you sure it's not 15 years "after" the Croc Dundee movies?
