Robert Irwin, the 20-year-old celebrity conservationist, issued a timely caution to fitness enthusiasts across Australia on Wednesday regarding gym safety protocols.
Taking to Instagram, the host of I’m A Celebrity shared a video demonstrating the importance of checking under gym equipment before commencing a workout. In the video, Irwin lifts an old weight in his home gym, revealing a sizable huntsman spider lurking beneath it.
“Hi, this is Robert, and I’m going to show you why you should always check under your weights before that next set,” he begins in the video.
As the clip continues, Irwin humorously interacts with the spider, remarking, “Good form, buddy. Keep it up.”
The video was shared with a lighthearted caption on Irwin’s Instagram account: “He’s just trying to be a good gym bro… always leg day for this guy.”
This playful post follows a more serious reaction earlier in the week when Irwin faced criticism for his involvement in a Twisties campaign. The wildlife advocate starred in an ad advocating for the chicken flavor, sparking backlash from vegans and vegetarians due to the ingredients’ animal origins.
Additionally, Irwin recently mourned the loss of their beloved pet chicken, Nacho, who had become a beloved figure among the Irwin family’s followers. Despite the sorrow, Irwin shared uplifting news about welcoming two new chickens, Waffles and Mochi, into their family.
The Irwin family’s followers expressed condolences and support over Nacho’s passing, underscoring the community’s empathy and connection with the family’s journey.
Robert Irwin continues to blend humor and heartfelt messages in his social media presence, reflecting his dedication to wildlife conservation and his personal life with equal measure.
