He's on the well-trodden path to Hollywood stardom, but it seems Aussie actor Alex O'Loughlin may also be well-versed in the Highway to Hell.
The Oyster Farmer star - who recently joined the cast of US cop drama The Shield - has apparently revealed he's the son of late AC/DC frontman Ronald "Bon'' Scott, according to World Entertainment News Network.
And while Confidential yesterday contacted both O'Loughlin's Sydney and LA-based agents, neither were able to confirm the claim which first appeared in the Chicago Tribune last week.
O'Loughlin - currently dating fellow Aussie hottie Holly Valance - was also out of reach, in Canada to film thriller Whiteout alongside Kate Beckinsale.
The NIDA-trained actor, who was tested for the role of James Bond before it went to Daniel Craig, was born in 1977 at the height of Scott's fame - three years before the rocker died in London in February in 1980.
A tribute to Bon Scott can be viewed here.
