"Robert, chill out!" Robert Irwin on THAT undies campaign

Hello! Today we’re joined by Australian icon, Robert Irwin! Robert likely needs little introduction… he’s the son of Steve and Terri Irwin, and one of the world’s most beloved conservationists and television personalities. In this conversation, Robert speaks candidly about some of his more unexpected adventures, from the worldwide response to his Bonds campaign (and his family’s reaction) to stepping into the ballroom on Dancing with the Stars. Robert and Ruby also chat about love, relationships and the lessons he’s learned from the incredible women in his life. Robert also opens up about what it was like growing up watching his dad, Steve Irwin, inspire millions of people around the world. He reflects on the unique experience of being able to witness his father’s life and legacy before Robert was born, and how he continues to learn from him years after his passing. Robert becomes emotional while sharing the profound impact Steve has had on generations of people globally, and explains why he never feels protective over sharing his dad with the world.
