Steve Irwin, also known as the Crocodile Hunter, had inspired millions to appreciate and protect animals. Perhaps there’s no one he had inspired more than his own family. Robert Irwin, his 20-year-old son, followed his father’s footsteps in becoming a zookeeper, conservationist, TV personality, as well as a wildlife photographer. Despite his dangerous work with snakes and crocodiles in Australia, he exudes enthusiasm, charisma, positivity, and wholesomeness. And there’s no better proof than his appearance at the 2024 Logie Awards, although it’s one among many examples.
Robert Irwin at the Logies
Despite being nominated and invited to the prestigious TV awards ceremony, Robert Irwin had spent the day catching crocodiles for research. During this adventure, he suffered an injury, but that didn’t stop him from stepping on the red carpet at the Star in Sydney with a huge smile on his face.
“I just came straight in from catching crocodiles up north,” he nonchalantly told the red-carpet hosts Dr. Chris Brown and Sonia Kruger. “I just got my head smashed into a tree. I was on a croc’s head. It was a big makeup job but I’m here. I’m excited and we are pumped and I get to do it with one of my best mates, which is awesome.” He’s referring to Julia Morris, his co-host on the reality survival competition show I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!
