Chippendales Asks Crocodile Hunter’s Son to Dance in Vegas

Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old son of beloved late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin, has been offered a role as dancing guest host at Chippendales at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, TMZ reported on Friday.

Irwin generated a wave of passionate social media approval from female fans on Tuesday when he ripped off his shirt to flash his chiseled chest on Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars (DWTS)”.

“Put your shirt back on!” “DWTS” judge Carrie Ann Inaba joked while Irwin, as TMZ put it, “opened the floodgates of drool” during a salsa routine.

And that’s precisely the response that catches the attention of the producers of the male dance revue that began its uninterrupted Vegas run at the Rio in 2001. So, according to TMZ, Irwin now has a standing invite to don the bowtie after his commitment to the ABC-TV reality competition ends.

“His personality, kindness, skills (and body!) make for a perfect celebrity host!” the pitch read, according to the gossip website.

No financial terms were disclosed.

Wildlife vs. a Wild Life

The offer aligns with Irwin’s rising profile as a sex symbol, fueled by a Bonds underwear campaign.

If he accepts, Irwin would follow the paths of Tyson Beckford, Joey Lawrence and “The Jersey Shore’s” Vinny Guadagnino, all of whom danced at Chippendales after starring on DWTS.

However, Robert is already following a different path — his father’s, as an Australian wildlife conservationist — and his manager may not be too keen on the diversion into titillation.

And that’s because his manager is his mom, Terry Irwin.

Crikey!
