Robert Irwin has revealed the daring lengths he has gone to when trying to impress a girl.
The nature conservationist recently sat down for an interview with People Magazine when he was asked if he’d ever demonstrated his fearlessness around animals to woo a date.
The 21-year-old went on to confirm that he had.
‘I’m going all red now,’ he said, as he broke out into laughter.
‘I went on a date once and I was driving her back and on the road, a snake was crossing the road. In my mind I was like, “yes!”.
Steve Irwin’s son revealed that he slammed on the brakes and rescued the non-venomous snake from peril, a move he thought would score him brownie points.

‘In my mind I was like, “Thank you snake. That was really well-timed”.’
Robert recently made headlines after posting a clip of himself training for Dancing With The Stars in the US.
The Aussie star is working hard to get into shape ahead of his upcoming stint on the reality show and, even for the young crocodile hunter, it’s proving to be a tough slog.
In the video, Robert could be seen recovering after a gruelling rehearsal session.
He was hyperventilating as he lay on his back on the floor in a dance studio, trying hard to catch his breath.
His US dance partner Witney Carson was heard off-camera, cheekily remarking: ‘I’ve killed him!’
Fortunately, Robert reassured her that he was fine, responding, ‘No, you haven’t’.
He captioned the clip with some amusing words: ‘Post-rehearsals mood’ and added a laughing emoji.

It comes after Robert revealed his new dance partner for the upcoming season of DWTS US, and there’s one particularly surprising detail about the blonde beauty.
Witney Carson, a professional Latin ballroom dancer and choreographer, bears a striking resemblance to Robert’s ex-girlfriend Rorie Buckey.
The 31-year-old shares the same warm smile and sun-kissed locks as Robert’s former flame.
Witney also appears to have similar facial features to Rorie, 22, who is the niece of actor Heath Ledger.
Robert, who split from Rorie in February 2024, was all smiles as he posed next to his dance partner in a gallery of images shared to Instagram.
In his typical Wildlife Warrior style, Robert was holding an enormous white and yellow python around his body.
Witney also got in on the fun, smiling as she cuddled up to Robert in a form-fitting pink dress, letting the snake’s tail wrap around her torso.
