<\/p>\nRobert Irwin just brought the heat, and a whole new level of excitement to the ballroom!<\/p>\n
The 21-year-old conservationist is following in his sister Bindi\u2019s winning footsteps on Dancing with the Stars Season 34, but his latest performance proved he\u2019s forging a path all his own, one that involves a lot of athleticism and a whole lot less clothing.<\/p>\n

Irwin and his pro partner, Witney Carson, unleashed a steamy Salsa routine set to Tommy Richman\u2019s hit \u201cMillion Dollar Baby.\u201d The routine was already high-octane, but the energy spiked when Robert went full heartthrob and ripped off his black button-down shirt mid-dance.<\/p>\n
The move, which showed off his toned physique, elicited a roaring reaction from the studio audience, proving that all those hours spent wrestling crocs have certainly paid off.<\/p>\n

The judges were just as stunned! Carrie Ann Inaba perfectly captured the moment, joking, \u201cRobert Irwin is all grown up. Wow, you\u2019re making me feel like a grandmother!\u201d Fellow judge Bruno Tonioli took the praise even further, comparing the young Australian to none other than Hollywood star Chris Hemsworth. The pair earned a solid 22 out of 30, but the score was almost secondary to the viral sensation they created.<\/p>\n
In the aftermath, his partner Witney Carson playfully admitted she had \u201cso many moments of regret\u201d about the shirtless move, not because it wasn\u2019t amazing, but because of the surge of DMs she\u2019s fielding from fans hoping to get closer to her single partner! Witney is reportedly acting as Robert\u2019s \u201cDM screener,\u201d making sure her focus, and Robert\u2019s, stays on the competition.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Robert Irwin just brought the heat, and a whole new level of excitement to the ballroom!
