Robert Irwin, the son of Terri Irwin and the late Steve Irwin, is making headlines once again. This time, the 21-year-old wildlife conservationist is set to join season 34 of Dancing With the Stars. In a bold and daring move, Robert stripped off his shirt during the announcement, revealing his sculpted abs as he made his way to the DWTS stage with a live snake draped around his neck.
In an interview with Good Morning America, Robert expressed his excitement about competing on the dancing show. He shared that he first broke the news to his mom and sister, Bindi Irwin, who also won DWTS in 2015. Bindi, in turn, took to Instagram to show her support for her brother, congratulating him on his casting and expressing her confidence that he will shine in the ballroom.
Robert’s shirtless reveal on DWTS comes on the heels of a steamy Bonds Australia underwear campaign, where he posed in nothing but boxer briefs with wild animals crawling across his body. In one shot, he flaunted his abs while a massive snake slithered around him, while in another, he sported a pair of gray underwear as a spider explored his arm.
For the photoshoot, Robert revealed that he followed a strict diet and workout regimen to ensure he looked and felt his best. He mentioned doing more sit-ups and cutting back on carbs than ever before, all in the name of feeling confident and prepared for the shoot.
As Robert gears up to compete on DWTS, it’s clear that he is ready to give it his all and make a lasting impression on the show. With his charismatic personality and undeniable charm, there’s no doubt that Robert Irwin will be a force to be reckoned with on the dance floor. Stay tuned to see how he fares on the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars.
