Breaking from his standard khaki uniforms and crocodile escapades, Australia’s favorite wildlife warrior, Robert Irwin, recently captured social media attention with his internet-breaking Bonds underwear campaign. With steamy photos that would’ve likely made the late Aussie hunk and Robert’s late father, Steve Irwin, blush, the insanely fit Robert Irwin showed he’s more than just a wildlife presenter – he’s a bona fide heartthrob and model. But the burning question for all the flustered fans out there is simple – how exactly did Robert get into jaw-dropping shape?
Robert detailed his intense workout regimen exclusively to our reporters – a regimen that might make the boldest crocodile reel back. The 17-year-old wildlife enthusiast got candid and revealed he “swapped crocodile wrestling for weight lifting.” He’s admitted to investing considerable time and effort into a rigorous training routine. “I’ve really fallen in love with training over the last couple of years,” Robert shared. “It’s become a part of who I am, and it allows me to be fighting fit for all the work I do with wildlife and conservation.”
Robert credited his father, Steve Irwin, better known as ‘The Crocodile Hunter,’ for inspiring him to work hard. He shared fond memories of the way his dad fused physical fitness with his wildlife career, saying, “Working out is such a brilliant tool for mental and physical health. I remember how committed he was, his strength was incredible, he made everything look so effortless.”
Close followers of Robert might have noticed his subtle transformation, as his khaki uniforms have been gradually filling out over the past two years. His Bonds underwear campaign, however, truly showcased the stunning result of his dedication to fitness. According to Robert, the most significant driving factor of his training was not for modeling but to aid him in his wildlife work. “Conservation work can be physically demanding, and staying fit and strong helps me in my everyday tasks,” he said.
The younger Irwin is no stranger to physical exertion. He’s been wrangling wildlife since a young age, a vocation that’s its ‘own particularly vigorous form of exercise.’ Robert, however, realized that the inherent physicality of his work could be supplemented by a focused and structured workout regime.
“Becoming a fitness enthusiast has transformed my capacity in handling wildlife. I’m stronger, faster, and able to endure much more,” said Robert. “Also, it helps when you’re handling heavyweight pythons!”
The journey hasn’t been an isolated one either. Robert revealed his training sessions often come with a beautiful companion – his girlfriend, Eileen Clark. “We work out together the majority of the time. It’s like an unwritten pact that we’ve made. It just makes the process so much more enjoyable.”
Sadly for all the hopefuls out there, Robert’s Bonds campaign was more of a one-off, rather than a pivot to a full-fledged modeling career. The young Aussie stayed humble about his internet-breaking transformation, simply stating, “I’m still the same Robert, just much stronger, and hopefully able to make a much bigger impact in conservation work.”
In the world of social media thirst-traps and Kardashian-esque transformations, we should remind ourselves about people like Robert Irwin – a young man leveraging his new-found physical prowess not to garner likes and followers, but to further his beloved cause of wildlife conservation. You keep being you, Robert. You might have bleached your knickers, but your heart’s still brilliantly Irwin Khaki.
