Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old son of the iconic late Steve Irwin, famously known as the “Crocodile Hunter,” has reportedly received an invitation to be a dance guest host at Chippendales, located within Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino, as per a TMZ report from Friday.

On Tuesday, Irwin sparked a flurry of enthusiastic reactions from fans when he removed his shirt, revealing his toned physique during Season 34 of “Dancing with the Stars (DWTS).”

“Put your shirt back on!” joked judge Carrie Ann Inaba, while TMZ noted that Irwin’s performance “opened the gates of drool” among viewers during his salsa routine.

This kind of admiration has evidently caught the eye of the producers for the long-running male revue, which began its continuous Las Vegas residency at the Rio in 2001. Consequently, TMZ indicates that Irwin has received a permanent invitation to join the show, set to commence after he wraps up his commitments to the ABC reality competition.

“His charm, warmth, talent (and physique!) make him the ideal celebrity host!” reported the pitch, according to the gossip platform.

No details about financial arrangements have been disclosed.

From Wildlife to Showman

This offer coincides with Irwin’s rising status as a heartthrob, particularly following a campaign with Bonds underwear.

If he accepts, Irwin would follow in the footsteps of other stars like Tyson Beckford, Joey Lawrence, and Vinny Guadagnino from “The Jersey Shore,” all of whom performed at Chippendales after their appearances on DWTS.

However, Robert is also committed to a different path—following his father’s legacy as a wildlife conservationist—and it is possible his management, which includes his mother, Terry Irwin, might not be entirely supportive of this side venture into show business.

Crikey!
