Crocodile Dundee star Paul Hogan’s troubled son Chance has sparked major concerns online as he drunkenly begs someone to ‘please kill me’.
The 27-year-old shared concerning videos to his Instagram Stories on Monday which saw him drinking wine and slurring his words as he sat at a table in public.
He had a laptop open in front of him, on which he was watching the American animated TV show Fat Albert and the Cosby Kids while bemoaning his life.
‘This is my life. This is what it’s been reduced to,’ Chance slurred as he took sips from his wine glass.
The camera he angled toward his face and laptop wobbled as he struggled to hold it steady while he spoke.
He then leaned in close and said: ‘Please. Please kill me. I’m begging you.’

Chance uploaded a second video just moments later, clutching his drink as he said: ‘I take it all back. I am living the dream… I never want to leave this table.’
He took another mouthful of wine and uploaded some blurry selfies of himself putting on a frown as he posed next to his laptop which was still playing Fat Albert.
A few hours later, Chance seemed to have lifted his spirits as he shared another, clearer photo of himself smiling as he posed in front of a harbour.
He had a cigarette hanging from his mouth and a black choker around his neck as he snapped the shot with a wharf in the background.
Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Chance and his father Paul’s representatives for comment.
The concerning posts come after Paul, 85, broke his silence amid the growing concerns for his troubled son.
The Australian-born retired actor dismissed widespread fears for Chance, his only child by ex-wife and former co-star Linda Kozlowski, back in December.
Chance, an aspiring musician who has been based in Venice Beach with his famous father, has frequently made headlines over his erratic behaviour.

But when DailyMail.com caught up with Paul while he ran errands in Los Angeles last month, the father-of-six said there was nothing to fear.
Asked if he was worried about Chance, Paul shook his head casually and smiled before replying: ‘Nah.’
He continued: ‘No. It’s a lot of made up stuff and a lot of it he [Chance] does on purpose.’
Paul poured cold water on concerns while making a quick trip to a local store and an ATM, which was his first public outing in nine months.
The reclusive star appeared friendly and happy to chat despite the rumours and concerns circulating about his son.
The movie legend, who’s originally from Sydney, left his home country behind following the success of the 1986 action-comedy film Crocodile Dundee.
He made the move to settle with his second wife, Linda, in Los Angeles in the ’90s.
When asked if he would like to return to his Aussie homeland, he said: ‘Oh yeah. One of these days.’

He then added, referring to his son: ‘If he’ll come.’
Chance has been living with his father in LA since his parents’ divorce in 2014 after 24 years of marriage.
In November, troubling new photos emerged of Chance buying beer and shuffling around Venice Beach back alleys, near the home he shares with his father.
Paul’s latest remarks contradict recent reports that he had been ‘worried sick’ about his son.
The reports emerged after Daily Mail Australia shared shocking images of Chance looking dishevelled in a back alley, taken on November 14.
He appeared to be aimlessly pacing up and down the street before approaching a blacked-out vehicle near his home.
Chance’s online behaviour has also become more erratic, sparking further concerns.
He recently shared a bizarre video of himself ominously claiming something is about to ‘begin’ as he bared his inflamed gums to the camera.
Chance is no stranger to scandal—after all, his parents’ relationship was one of the biggest tabloid stories of the late 1980s.
Sparks famously flew between Paul and Linda on-set in the Australian Outback, while the Aussie—19 years Linda’s senior—was still married to wife Noelene Edwards.
The couple wed in 1990, welcomed Chance eight years later, and divorced in 2014.
Paul and his first wife, Noelene Edwards, married in 1958 before later separating and and divorcing in 1981. They share five children—Brett, Clay, Scott, Todd and Lauren.
