Robert Irwin is the second member of his famous family to appear on |
|
“Dancing with the Stars” and he sounds pretty excited about that. |
|
|
|
“What a full circle thing. I have so many memories of being there and |
|
watching [my sister, Bindi],” he “I was just in such awe.” |
|
|
|
He and his sister, Bindi Irwin, are the children of the late Steve |
|
Irwin, the TV presenter and conservationist known as the “Crocodile |
|
Hunter, |
|
|
|
He was 44. |
|
|
|
Robert Irwin is competing in Season 34 of “DWTS” and his sister won |
|
season 21, along with her partner, professional dancer Derek Hough. |
|
|
|
For his time on the show, Irwin said he just wants “to follow in her |
|
footsteps and bring that kind of passion and energy into it.” |
|
|
|
“I don’t expect to do half the job she did,” he told THR. “But |
|
it was like a little childhood dream that I’ve had for 10 years. It |
|
feels pretty wild that I’m finally fulfilling it.” |
|
|
|
The Australian native said that going from being in the audience |
|
cheering on his sister to competing himself “feels like coming |
|
home.” |
|
|
|
“It’s so funny, I go from neck deep in mud in the mangroves |
|
catching crocodiles in remote Australia, and I literally fly direct to |
|
Hollywood from there to start dancing,” he said. “I don’t know |
|
what’s scarier, crocodiles or West Hollywood.” |
|
|
|
“Dancing with the Stars” airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC and |
|
Disney+. |
