Robert is seriously the best bloke in our country. He's so much like Steve, but he's also VERY much his own person. He's incredible and everything he does is just unbelievable.

[@BrianHallmond]

Seeing who his Dad was and the world he grew up in I find quite believable.

[@emmagoulter3122]

100% agree

[@elizabethrodriguez7393]

Mexican 17yo here, how can this guy be a year older than me but wiser than many adults I’ve ever known . respect 🙌

[@brunetteone4082]

WoW isn't he as perfect as his parents !! Gosh Terri is a phenomenal mother and Steve will forever be the world's dad.

[@tinkerbell77]

Robert is the most mature 18 year old I know... I am truly inspired by his look on life and look forward to watching him continue to grow and bless our world!

[@fuzzmaayn29]

Rob is an absolute king among men... Ive got so much respect for this man.. Steve would be so god damn proud!

[@randomvintagefilm273]

01:46 I'm sitting here eating my lunch and I see this and just lost it. I've watched Steve and Teri since the very beginning on Animal Planet. To see how proud Steve was seeing his little boy hold a baby croc just gutts me. He would be so proud of Teri and his kids to see how they survived after him.

[@AndySaenz]

I’ve been a fan of the Irwin family for decades, ever since Steve appeared on various talk shows presenting his animals throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s. Robert has become an intelligent, ambitious, hard working, humorous man! I think Steve would be very proud of him.

[@edithsens4868]

Excellent interview! His parents definitely gave him a good foundation and example. 👍

[@lovelyjanuary]

Australians seem like the most down to earth awesome people! I’m actually from Texas watching this but I love the idea of the podcast and this interview with Robert was great!!!!!!!!! 💕💕

[@holocaustchampion9978]

You know something? That kid may be young in years but he is ancient and wise in his thoughts. He could teach most adults I know a thing or two.

[@leoberget750]

Everyone needs a friend like Robert!

[@davidberriman5903]

What a remarkable young man. Eighteen and so articulate and enthusiastic. Our wildlife has a great defender fighting on their side. Thank you Robert for your dedication.

[@hisservants8003]

Robert is an impressive young man. He is so well spoken and seems so mature for his age. His father would be very proud of him. God Bless Robert and his family.

[@mtngrammy6953]

We will always miss Steve Irwin! He is a legend. Thank you, Robert, for carrying on his legacy.

[@chopperhead2012]

I was heartbroken when I learned that Steve died. He's one of my biggest heroes. I've never even been to Australia, and I'm only 5 years older than Bindi, but I still feel like I watched her and Robert grow up. And seeing who they have both become is one of the few things that gives me true happiness in the world. Robert really has the same passion and enthusiasm as Steve, but expresses it more calmly like Terri, and it's just a wonderful thing. Rob, the world loves you and your family.

[@navneetakumar1814]

Robert is as incredible as Steve. Lots of blessings. A breath of fresh air in these hard times.

[@inspelled]

So much like his father its almost scary. Looking forward to seeing the man he becomes and the adventures that follow.

[@flecknologyracing7532]

The irwin's are my favorite family on earth. Legends having a crack.

[@jadeashleysmith]

love his passion to continue his dad's legacy he looks so much like his dad every single day! :)

[@sammylong841]

Rob is so well spoken. I love listening to him and what he has to say. We are lucky to have him!

[@ihavespoken4555]

I can't comprehend that Robert is 18 y/o. He is wise beyond his years. Seeing the footage of Steve with baby Robert breaks my heart. Steve put so much happiness and positivity into the world, the least he deserved was to get to watch his children grow into the marvelous people they have become. Life is so unfair.

[@joannemurdock7899]

Love and admire you Robert Irwin

[@nannyof2023]

Best of everything to Robert Irwin and his family!!!!!!! May Jesus guide you in all your endeavors!

[@eduka9444]

Great job Robert in the same way as your father!

[@micheleschultz4448]

Good on you Robert. We love you as much as we loved your dad.

[@emmagoulter3122]

Steve is always with you Robert ( Steve Irwin is a bloody legend & Robert is most definately taking after him

[@deannalindsey7888]

Our CREATOR created all these Beautiful creatures great and small. All the flowers, trees, rivers, and seas. All the fruits, vegetables, and nuts to eat. All the mountains, hills and valleys and creeks. All the volcanos, earthquakes, tornados, and hurricanes. All the power of the winds, rains, hail and snow. All is HIS to do whatever HE wills. Today the sky may be blue and beautiful with white clouds floating or tomorrow the sky may be dark and not a cloud in sight. How Amazing is the sun that rises in the morning and how Beautiful the radiant colors of the sunset differs every evening. The moon and the stars that shine ever so bright. And sometimes a star can't even be found at midnight. HIS Majesty is manifest in all around the world to see. That there is none like HIM. Our FATHER and JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD

[@papijuanito7743]

the irwin’s are my inspiration 💙

[@jorjawarren8093]

he is such an inspiration, can't wait to strive for my passion of wildlife conservation!

[@marielamurillo1703]

Sweetest and kindest boy in the 🌎❤

[@jayerutter107]

He’s definitely his father’s son he’s definitely his own man God bless you Robert and your amazing family and extended family

[@clairehill408]

What a truely gorgeous young man, a real credit to Terri and Steve. A credit to himself and Australia

[@cassiem3893]

Close your eyes at 14:16 and listen. It’s like Steve himself is speaking! 🥰

[@jennifersullivan8008]

He reminds me of his late father Steve he looks just like him. Keep up the good work Robert

[@aprilyeo5636]

Love the Irwin's ❤

[@christiannielsen3863]

"...but it was good fun" hahaha. I'd say a little too exciting.

[@denisereadstarot]

What a great video! I love the Irwin’s. Robert has been well raised.

[@annastark3786]

He's definitely my favourite Australian.

[@juneallan4903]

PLEASE PEOPLE DON'T FORGET POPPY BOB WHO STARTED THE PARK IN THE FIRST PLACE.MY HAT GOES OFF TO YOU BOB.🦎

[@jaffa3910]

That's how selfish they are,they don't even mention Bob. All these comments praising Robert makes me a bit sick 🤢

[@princesskarii]

hes so cool

[@suziemag]

Robert is the. Best Mum and I told him from the age of 3 that Robert Rules we used to see him and say whoRules Robert and he would say Me meaning Robert. When we first said Hey Robert You Rule he said I do? We said yep that went on for quite a few years. he taught me to climb a tree and told me how to be careful in the bush. My nephew loves him to death he wanted to be just like Robert. He loved playing with him when we were at the zoo. Both my nephew and I were wildlife warriors. Have not been to QLD for over two years or so because of covid . Danny you have met my nephew too I will send you a photo if you like . Miss you Robert and never forget ROBERT RULES!!!! Oh I forgot when Robert taught me to climb a tree and about the bush he was about 5 and I was 11 or 12 lol.

[@KA-bw3wf]

my son loves your family. he is eight. ❤ from India. 😊

[@AndySaenz]

I wish he would have asked Robert if he would ever do DWTS like Bindi did? She won and he could win also!

[@doolagaperson962]

I really hope he takes up his dads passion for conservation, ever since Steve passed the government has destroyed so much, there was just nobody with a big enough name to fight them.

[@NathanFisherNF7]

Weird I have actually heard that story about Steve wearing the Hawaiian shirt disguise before from a personal friend

[@Arizonadreamcatcher4]

Terri talks about that in her memoir.

[@smontalvo210]

❤️❤️

[@cormacsage7126]

Grown up so well. Be careful with the risky animals

[@loriburnip]

Even have to be careful with the ones that aren't considered dangerous. His father was taken by a stingrays, an animal that is usually docile & doesn't hurt people.

[@tarewakahukura7354]

Ty yeah it’s

[@Looking-great]

They all talk like they have an apple in their mouth. The mum giving them PR speaking lessons. 🤣

[@WatchingDude]

He's getting sexier by the year! 🥰

[@HAPPY9862]

Robert eyes looks dark???

[@susanmartin3762]

I want him to grow his hair out like his dad used to have. This "Hardy Boys" haircut needs to go!! He would look even better than he already does!

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

I wouldn't say he should go for the exact same haircut as Steve did, but I really liked his long "lockdown" hair before he cut it off. He has beatiful hair, and with the longer locks he looked like a proper prince!

[@OzSkitzo]

not a hater, just not a fan, i think he try's to be his old man too much. dont get me wrong, seems like a good guy, but i feel like the persona is a bit fake, where as Steve didn't feel forced if you know what i mean. but i may be bias, i was never a fan of his mum especially the way she cut out bob senior. He was steves mentor and hero and one of the reasons steve was who he was.

[@triarb5790]

Bear in mind he has been in the public eye and expected to "perform" his entire existence. Before he was even born the weighty expectation of comparison to his father was already anchored onto his life. Whilst his blokey/ matey style of speech is perhaps somewhat rehearsed, I would urge you to listen to the actual message itself, beyond his ocker Aussie persona. His message is sincere. Its remarkable to see someone as level headed as he and his sister are considering their goldfish bowl upbringing. This is a testament to their parents, especially their mother. I think he is an incredible 18 year old, who will become a champion of the wild world and a thorn in the side of successive anti conservation, pro destruction governments here. And for that, we will in time, all thank him.

[@lukea9873]

he will come into his own more into his mid 20s. Hes super impressive of a person for 18.

[@DeeFightingDreamer]

I'd say you should look at the "Irwin family adventures" videos they have on the australia zoo youtube channel. He's more relaxed in them and you can see that he's the exact same when the cameras are on and off, this IS his personality. I think people are just too shocked at how much like his father he is, but he's still very much his own person, which you can also see through various videos of him when he's not being interviewed.

[@katem58785]

Hi from Australia, Robert if he's so much like his father then why doesn't he go see his grandfather and who he was named after.
