Robert Irwin has given fans a rare insight into his personal life by revealing what his famous family are really like behind closed doors.
The conservationist, 20, admitted on the Mental As Anyone podcast, he leads an ‘undramatic and boring’ life with his mother Terri, sister Bindi, brother-in-law Chandler Powell and niece Grace Warrior.
‘As public as it all is, I definitely still get to live a very nice and authentic existence,’ he said.
‘In terms of the family dynamic, we’re the most undramatic boring people in the world, which is awesome. What we do is absolutely nuts.’
‘You’re jumping on crocs, you’re saving wildlife, you’re doing this, doing that. But in terms of the Irwin family dynamic, we’re just like, proper, just vanilla ice cream, like we are so boring.’
Robert explained he has a ‘very tight knit family group’ and there is never a sense of ‘drama’.
He added: ‘There’s nothing wrong with having a boring family dynamic. In fact, that’s what you’re shooting for.’
Robert’s admission comes after he took to Instagram last week to share some thrilling news with his fans and followers.

Robert previously had fans doing a double take after he shared a video of himself feeding a crocodile as he re-created an iconic photo of his father from 2004.
In the video, Robert entices the giant crocodile with food before jumping back as it lunges towards him, narrowly missing his arm.
The wildlife photographer was sporting his iconic Australia Zoo uniform and had a microphone on.
Fans couldn’t believe how much the teenager looked like his late father Steve in the clip.

‘You looks so much like your dad right there!!! Nice croc feeding,’ one commented on the video.
Another wrote: ‘Man. I see your Dad all in this!’
Meanwhile, a third echoed: ‘So much like your Dad. I was a big fan of his and his passion for these beautiful creatures.’
Steve died in September 2006 at the age of 44, after being pierced in the chest by a stingray barb while filming a wildlife documentary in Batt Reef, Queensland.
