Robert Irving Opens Up About the Surprising Family Fallout from His Controversial Underwear Shoot
Robert Irwin—yes, the same fearless kid who once chased crocs in khakis—has boldly swapped his signature wildlife garb for something a tad more… revealing. Picture this: 21-year-old Robert, surrounded by snakes, spiders, and lizards, sporting nothing but underwear in a striking campaign for Aussie icon Bonds. A nature-meets-lifestyle mashup, sure—but here’s the kicker: while fans went wild (pun intended), Robert’s family found themselves staring at images they “can’t unsee.” Now, balancing a legacy as mighty as his late father Steve Irwin’s with carving out his own unique spotlight isn’t exactly a walk on the wild side—it’s more like an all-out safari in briefs. So, what was the family’s unfiltered take on Robert’s daring pivot from documentary darling to underwear model? Spoiler: it’s as fascinating as the campaign itself.
LEARN MORERising media personality Robert Irwin—son of former TV personality and conservationist Steve Irwin—made headlines last month after trading khakis for briefs in a bold new campaign with Australian underwear brandBonds.
The 21-year-old has now revealed what his family thought of the ad, in which he posed shirtless, clad only in underwear, with snakes, spiders, and lizards as part of the campaign’s nature-meets-lifestyle aesthetic.
- Robert Irwin posed shirtless in underwear surrounded by native wildlife for Australian brand Bonds’ new nature-themed campaign.
- Robert’s family reacted with mixed feelings, saying the underwear shoot was something they ‘can’t unsee.’
- The campaign ‘Made for Down Under’ marks Bonds’ push into the US market and coincides with Robert’s Dancing With The Stars debut.
While the campaign was received positively by fans for a variety of reasons, Irwin’s family weren’t so thrilled about it, a fact that Robert made clear during a candid interview with US Today.
