\n Robert Irwin is the second member of his famous family to appear on \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d and he sounds pretty excited about that.\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cWhat a full circle thing. I have so many memories of being there and watching [my sister, Bindi],\u201d he recently told The Hollywood Reporter. <\/a>\u201cI was just in such awe.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n He and his sister, Bindi Irwin, are the children of the late Steve Irwin, the TV presenter and conservationist known as the \u201cCrocodile Hunter, who died in 2006 after being stung by a stingray.<\/a>\n <\/p>\n

\n He was 44.\n <\/p>\n

\n Robert Irwin is competing in Season 34 of \u201cDWTS\u201d and his sister won season 21, along with her partner, professional dancer Derek Hough.\n <\/p>\n

\n For his time on the show, Irwin said he just wants \u201cto follow in her footsteps and bring that kind of passion and energy into it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\"Bindi<\/p>\n

\n \u201cI don\u2019t expect to do half the job she did,\u201d he told THR. \u201cBut it was like a little childhood dream that I\u2019ve had for 10 years. It feels pretty wild that I\u2019m finally fulfilling it.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n The Australian native said that going from being in the audience cheering on his sister to competing himself \u201cfeels like coming home.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cIt\u2019s so funny, I go from neck deep in mud in the mangroves catching crocodiles in remote Australia, and I literally fly direct to Hollywood from there to start dancing,\u201d he said. \u201cI don\u2019t know what\u2019s scarier, crocodiles or West Hollywood.\u201d\n <\/p>\n

\n \u201cDancing with the Stars\u201d airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC and Disney+.\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Facebook Tweet Email Link Robert Irwin is the second member of his famous family to appear on \u201cDancing…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":163821,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[57],"tags":[236,88],"class_list":["post-163820","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163820","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=163820"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/163820\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/163821"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=163820"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=163820"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=163820"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
