Robert Irwin, son of the late Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin, has caused a stir by stripping down to his briefs for a new Bonds underwear campaign. The 20-year-old conservationist and television personality is seen confidently posing in various Bonds underwear styles, showcasing a more grown-up image than many are accustomed to.
The ad campaign has generated considerable buzz online, with many praising Robert’s physique and his willingness to step outside his comfort zone. Some have expressed surprise at the daring nature of the campaign, given Robert’s public image as a wildlife enthusiast.
In interviews surrounding the ad launch, Robert spoke about the “one thing” he inherited from his father, Steve Irwin: “a deep love for animals”. The “Daily Mail” states that Robert also inherited his father’s passion for conservation. He emphasized that while the underwear campaign might seem like a departure from his usual work, his commitment to wildlife remains his top priority.
Robert stated that it was important for him to take a chance at stepping outside his comfort zone and show people a different side of himself. He said that he had a lot of fun with the photoshoot and felt comfortable with the campaign because Bonds is an Australian brand and he feels at home in their product.
The Bonds campaign featuring Robert Irwin is now running in Australia. Reactions have been largely positive, with many admiring Robert’s confidence and willingness to embrace a new challenge while still honoring his father’s legacy.
