When you hear the last name Irwin, the first person you think about is Steve Irwin, the legendary Australian zookeeper best known for his wildlife documentaries about crocodiles and wildlife in general. He left two children in this world and the youngest son, Robert, is all grown up now.

He is following in his father’s footsteps but at the same time, he is also making a name for himself. The latest activity he surprised his fans with was a fashion photoshoot with Stellar Magazine. Robert stepped out of his khakis showing another side of him and making people realize he is not a kid anymore.

Everyone knows Robert’s beloved father Steve Irwin and still mourn to this day, while also not letting his son forget how much of an icon his dad was and that he died too young. It must have been tough for the three-year-old boy to lose his father and have this legacy on his shoulders and an image he was expected to live up to.

Robert actually opened up about it in the interview with Stellar, “Because I am sort of stepping into adulthood, having turned 18, and navigating that is hard enough [but] when you are in my situation, and you don’t have a father figure to guide you through, it’s really hard.”

The young man also opened up about how tough it was growing up without a father and about his plans of publishing a book with his photography work

We trust his words and believe when he says that it was not an easy walk to adulthood. At the same time, looking from the outside, it seems that he is succeeding in overcoming any obstacles and acing everything he gets his hands on.

Not only did he become a television personality hosting various programs and series, but he also co-created the book series Robert Irwin: Dinosaur Hunter. Obviously, he works at the Australia Zoo that his family owns, and he is an award-winning wildlife photographer. Bored Panda noticed his talent way back, so if you are interested in seeing what this teenager has done before, here is an article we published in 2017 and in 2018.

Robert opened up about his plans relating to photography to the magazine, “I want to forge my own path and I’m really passionate about photography. I love being behind the camera. I am working on a coffee-table book with my photography that I’m going to be releasing later this year.”

While, usually, he is the one holding the camera, it seems that he doesn’t shy away when the lens is turned towards him as he strikes confident poses in every image.

While the world was not ready for ‘Robert the model’, he is actually known in his family for having style and poise

Actually, he is kind of known in his family for being the family member that cares about style, “I’ve actually become known as the fashionable Irwin” remembering that his dad “wasn’t exactly a fashion icon, but he was iconic just in the fact that he made khaki cool.”

During the interview, he joked around that he would definitely get teased by his family because they already like to joke about his ‘shants’ or short pants.
