Robert Irwin Sent Fans Into A Tizzy After His Recent Ad Campaign
Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old son of the late Steve Irwin, made headlines last week for starring in a Bond Underwear ad while being “nearly naked.”
The photos featured Robert in different Bonds boxer briefs, showing off his fit physique while posing with exotic animals.
He spoke with People about posing with poisonous animals, saying, “I mean, I’ve spent my life wrangling crocs and snakes and rescuing animals. And so to feature a little slice of that excitement in this new campaign, mate, it has been so much fun. I mean, I’m surrounded by spiders and snakes, except [this time] I’m in my undies. That’s the only difference.”
