The Internet Cannot Contain Its Thirst For Robert Irwin & I’m Conflicted

Most of us have known Robert Irwin since he was literally a baby, and watching him grow up to be like his nature conservationist father, Steve Irwin, has been such a delight. But now, Rob is being painted as a teenage heartthrob and we don’t know what to do but laugh at all the thirst comments that have been flooding in.

It’s really weird times.

Over the weekend, Stellar Magazine dropped their cover shoot with Rob and people from all walks of life are completely frothing over the 18-year-old wildlife photographer.

One Instagram comment on the Stellar’s cover wrote that Rob looks like a Hemsworth brother. “In my mind he’s still 8, then he comes out looking like a long lost Hemsworth?!?!” the comment reads. Internet thirsts over Robert Irwin in new photoshoot

It’s quite comforting to know that a lot of people share the same shock that I have, realising that our little Robbie is a full-blown adult and is no longer a little toddler running around Australia Zoo feeding crocs.

But now, with this newfound perspective on and thirst for Rob, many people are coming forward professing their love for the Aussie icon through a bunch of tweets and thirsty TikToks.

Here are the best reactions to Robert Irwin’s Stella cover shoot:
