Robert Irwin Reveals His Surprising Preparation for ‘Dancing with the Stars’ (Exclusive)
Robert Irwin isn’t jiving around his lack of Dancing With the Stars prep.
In fact, the wildlife conservationist shared that he really didn’t put his best foot forward before walking into practice with partner Witney Carson.
“This is how the conversation went,” Robert, 21, exclusively told E! News correspondent Will Marfuggi at the Dancing With the Stars premiere Sept. 16. “Witney’s like, ‘So you’ve known for like four months you’re gonna do this show? What have you done to prepare?’ And I said, ‘Nothing!’”
But while he may not have prepared physically, Robert admitted knew some of what was to come after watching his sister Bindi Irwin compete—and win it all—with partner Derek Hough during season 21 in 2015.
“I feel like I had a good idea of what this show was about coming into it, cause my sister had done it,” Robert said. “But it blew away every single expectation I ever had. And that’s thanks to this incredible team, amazing cast, and honestly above all, the most incredible dance partner ever. 10 years in the making, here we are. It’s such a privilege.”
