Robert Irwin Excites Fans with Memorable Dance on “Dancing With the Stars”

Wildlife conservationist Robert Irwin felt on top of the world after his performance on Tuesday’s “Dancing With the Stars,” during which he delivered an outstanding dance routine. His standout moment included a shirtless salsa to “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman, choreographed by his professional partner, Witney Carson.

Irwin shared that the bold opening was his idea, inspired by the song’s edgy vibe and the theme of TikTok Night, aiming to reveal a different aspect of himself. “I knew that ‘cool guy Robert’ was in there somewhere, and I wanted to unleash new energy,” he explained.

Irwin, son of the late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, revealed he’s single and actively searching for the right American partner. His candid admission has sparked a flurry of messages via social media, which he’s enjoying. “The DMs mean a lot,” he laughed, adding, “It’ll happen when it happens. Keep it coming!”

During their routine, fans expressed their admiration across social platforms, with some commenting on Irwin’s confident shirtless display. One user wrote, “The smolder, body rolls… it’s really serious for Robert,” while another appreciated the entertainment value, thanking “the ballroom gods” for the moment.

Despite receiving high scores again, the journey remains competitive, with fans eager to see Irwin win the coveted Mirrorball Trophy, following in his sister Bindi’s footsteps. Bindi, who secured victory in season 21, offered him advice during rehearsals: “Really lean into this and savor every moment.”

“Dancing With the Stars” airs next Tuesday at 8 p.m. ET/PT, promising more exciting performances for viewers on ABC, Disney+, and Hulu.
