Before he was stealing the show on Dancing with the Stars with his incredible dancing and charming demeanor, Robert Irwin already had a host of other talents. He can wrangle crocodiles like his dad, rescue wildlife, surf, mountain bike, rock climb, model underwear, and now dance up a storm!
But that’s not all, the wildlife conservationist is letting fans in on some lesser-known talents. He can also play the guitar and cook!
Dancing with the Stars competitor Robert Irwin can play guitar
“My idea of the absolute perfect night, get the family together, a few mates, build a nice big fire, get a couple of guitars, roast some marshmallows and just chat and have some fun,” Robert told PEOPLE. “Not a screen in sight. That is to me, that’s my happy place.”
And he’s been playing guitar for a few years now, as evidenced by his fun guitar YouTube tutorial for Anaconda stories. The DWTS competitor also shared that he sings as well! Johnny Cash is his favorite singer.
“I do! I do. Actually, no one really knows that about me. I would not consider myself a good guitar player or a great singer by any means, but I do really enjoy it,” he admitted. Considering that he also said he wasn’t a good dancer and then proceeded to blow everyone away, we’ll take that with a grain of salt.
If that wasn’t enough, Robert also revealed another hidden talent. He can cook too!
“I love cooking,” he shared. “And I love cooking for people. That’s one of my favorite things. I’m not an incredible fancy chef, but I will go to great lengths to grow my own produce or buy the freshest produce and cook something super nutritious, super fresh.”
That makes sense because the wildlife conservationist and underwear model is also into health and fitness.
“I’m really into health and wellness, and cooking for people is one of the great joys of my life,” Robert said. “So if you’re wondering where I am, I’m either catching a crocodile, I’m in the surf catching a wave, or I’m trying to find the best tomatoes.”
Or he’s in the ballroom tearing up the dance floor, or having fun in rehearsals with partner Witney Carson.
Dancing with the Stars Season 34 airs Tuesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Disney+. It will stream on Hulu the next day.
