Robert Irwin’s admirers are feeling frisky!
The Australian TV presenter, 21, was faced with his fans’ opinions on a recent photoshoot which he shared on Instagram on Dec. 1, 2024. And let’s just say they didn’t hold back!
“Holy moly, I’m 71 years old,” posted one on the image that showed Irwin in blue jeans and a white tank. “I’ve never wanted to be a crocodile so badly,” shared another, while a third wrote, “Anyone else just now discover they are a cougar?”
Irwin — who hosts the Australian version of I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! alongside Julia Morris — read the comments alongside Morris and Australian comic and YouTuber Jimmy Rees, much to the pair’s delight!
When Irwin shared the original photoshoot last month, he posted that he was pleased to get “out of the khakis” for the images that had been taken for the Australian magazine Stellar.
The fan comments on Irwin’s original post were equally appreciative of the images with one writing, “How he look like his dad, Brad Pitt, and Prince Harry at the same time?” while another shared “Robert Irwin’s thirst trap was not on my 2024 list.”

“That is amazing. It’s the first time in a long time that he’s not just a picture,” Robert said as he choked back tears. Robert then shook his head, took a deep breath and walked away to collect himself, according to video shared by News.com.au.
