In 2004, Hogan starred in the Australian-produced comedy film "Strange Bedfellows", about two firemen pretending to be in a homosexual relationship for financial benefit. "Strange Bedfellows" was written and directed by Hogan's friend Dean Murphy and was the highest-grossing Australian-made film of 2004. 2005 saw the release of "Paul Hogan - Stand Up Hoges", a DVD compilation of Hogan's favourite live performances throughout his career. In 2009, Hogan starred in another of Murphy's films, "Charlie & Boots", a road-movie concerning the relationship between a father (Hogan) and son (Shane Jacobson). It was the second-highest-grossing Australian-made film of 2009, after "Mao's Last Dancer".
