Robert Irwin attracts strong attention for the wrong reason

Robert Irwin, a TV personality, is an animal rights activist. For this, he did a nearly nude photo shoot with an Australian brand, along with snakes and spiders.

He said this was done to raise awareness for animal conservation. However, the 21-year-old said his shoot attracted attention for all the wrong reasons.

“Oh my gosh. The DMs are a dangerous place right now,” he told People. “I have been giving the DMs a wide berth.”.

Nonetheless, Robert said he welcomed those who became his admirers after the shoot for Bond's 'Made for Down Under' campaign last month.

"It's been a fun experience, and I'm very flattered, and everyone has been really kind. They really have," the Australian conservationist said. “This has added this new element to my message."

"It's always been about animal conservation, positivity, all of that, but now health and fitness," he added. 

"And I really want to be someone to go out there and say, ‘Don't compare yourself to anyone else. Be the best version of yourself.’"

Robert's comments come at the gala honouring his late father, Steve Irwin's lifelong effort for wildlife conservation.
