Aussie sweetheart Robert Irwin has left fans’ jaws on the floor for two reasons after posting an unintentional thirst trap video to Instagram of his home gym setup.
The 20-year-old wildlife warrior appears to keep himself in tip-top shape to carry out his work and travel commitments, and has enjoyed a glow-up following regular TV appearances.
What was meant as a tongue-in-cheek warning of hidden creepy crawlies at home became more of an exercise in swooning over Irwin for fans on the platform.
“Hi, this is Robert. And I’m going to show you why you should always check under your weights before that next set,” he said in the short clip.
The nature lover then proceeded to gently drop his dumbbells to the ground with arms flexed, before reaching carefully for another weight and offering home gymgoers some advice.
In what should have come as absolutely no surprise, the animal lover and whisperer revealed a large, black and white spider which had been hiding behind a dumbbell as if it were a rock.
Zooming in closely, the eight-legged creature, likely a Huntsman, was largely unfazed by Irwin’s presence.
“Good form, buddy. Keep it up,” he continued, with his face inches from the house dweller.
The comments section was left thirstier watching Irwin train than the jacked personality himself between sets.
“You have a license for those Guns Robert?” one person teased.
“Sooo no one’s going to talk about how yolked Robert is? 😂😂” another commented.
While many viewers were more focused on the gun show than the wildlife, some joked the spider had been training just as hard.
“I thought he was upside down for a minute. Then I realised he was working on his pecs,” one person said.
Irwin did his best to frame the spider as the star, though it was clear fans were more keen for close ups of him than the furry critter.
“He’s just trying to be a good gym bro… always leg day for this guy,” the post was captioned.
The youngest Irwin has been busy this week campaigning in a Twisites chip debate, arguing his beloved Chicken flavour is superior to the more famous cheese alternative.
Following his co-hosting duties on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! earlier this year alongside Julia Morris, the emerging talent has cemented himself as a household name and national treasure.
