Robert Irwin launches modelling career
Robert Irwin has sent the internet into a frenzy after appearing in a new modelling campaign.
The wildlife warrior features in a new advertisement for Aussie clothing brand Hard Yakka, which he shared to his Instagram page on Sunday and has racked up over 200,000 likes.
A brooding Irwin is featured taking part in a series of activities including surfing and biking, while discussing how his family helped him develop his relationship with the great outdoors.
“I’ve always been about the ocean from a really, really young age,” Irwin said in the video.
“It has always been my dad who had that strong connection to the sea. So now I feel very lucky I get to follow in those footsteps."
“I still use some of his old surf boards. I get out there every morning into the water. I am definitely most at home when I’m next to the ocean.”
While explaining his passion for being outside, he said that his work at Australia Zoo is still the biggest part of his life.
“It’s my passion, not just what I do, it’s who I am. So, it becomes all about giving everything 100 per cent. Having that passion and enthusiasm for what you do is so important,” he said.
The video was shot as part of a Hard Yakka series called Meet the Legends and Irwin had fans swooning as he modelled the brand’s clothing range.
“Worlds most eligible Bachelor. So handsome and well behaved,” one wrote on Instagram.
“Is there anything he CAN’T do? 😍👏 his dad is so proud,” another added.
“I have the worlds biggest crush on you,” another fan stated simply.
“I’ve never wanted to purchase a product more in my entire life. This was fantastic to watch,” a fourth chimed in.
