Robert Irwin’s Newest Project is Not What We Expected
It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two months since Robert Irwin and Witney Carson Quickstepped their way to a win on Dancing with the Stars. From the first night of competition, Robert became a fan favorite. He’s so similar to his late father, Steve Irwin, with a kind smile and attentive spirit. Robert recently announced that he was headed back home to Australia, and fans Down Under couldn’t wait to get him back. In honor of his return, the Visit Sunshine Coast tourism group announced a Robert Irwin lookalike competition.

The Best Robert Irwin Lookalike Could Win Big Bucks
The competition will take place on January 17 at 8:00 a.m. at Caloundra (Kings Beach), Sunshine Coast.
“If you can rock the khaki and channel the best kind of Aussie energy, come along for a Robert Irwin lookalike contest to welcome our Sunshine Coast icon back home from his travels,” an Instagram post explains.
Along with the announcement, Visit Sunshine Coast posted a funny video of a surfer wearing a blonde wig and checking out the flyer. It’s a pretty clever welcome home party, and fans are super excited to participate.
“Robert i really need you to confirm are you coming there I’ll book my ticket right now,” a fan joked.
“The most Aussie competition ever,” another person commented.
The Robert Irwin lookalike contest got moms excited, too.
“Ok but can kids enter? I have a son that is Robert bowl cut era, jumps ‘crocs’ and all check out my pinned reel,” a mom asked.
Honestly, this person probably has the best idea.
“This will only be complete if Robert himself enters (and even funnier if he loses),” they wrote.
If you really look like Robert, you could win $500. We sure hope he sneaks in for the fun!
