You don’t expect to see Robert Irwin at the NFL Honors red carpet, but that didn’t stop him from stealing a moment of the spotlight. The wildlife conservationist and “Dancing With the Stars” season 34 winner made a surprise appearance at the star-studded event, and it didn’t take long for social media to light up with reactions from viewers who couldn’t believe who they were seeing.
Red Carpet Appearance
The NFL Honors took place at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco on Thursday, February 5. While NFL players were in attendance, it looks like we had a lot of celebrities in attendance as well, including “DWTS” winner Robert Irwin.
Irwin made a special appearance on the red carpet. He is looking very dapper in his suit, but we want to know who he was so excited to see!
Fans React to Special Appearance
After seeing Robert at the red carpet event, “Dancing With the Stars” fans jumped on social media to praise the young man.
One fan wrote, “Very diversified young man. Much success!!,” while another added, “He’s so handsome and he always has a smile!”
Over on the X page for the NFL, this user wrote, “His father would be so proud of him. Having fun and still caring for animals and the environment. 🥰,” and this person added, “Suit saying awards season, sneakers saying pickup game.”
The love continued, as this fan wrote, “Crikey! Our boy @RobertIrwin taking over NFL Honors like it’s the Crocodile Hunter reunion 🐊🏈 Absolute legend moment 🇦🇺 #SBLX,” and another added, “Looking stunning 😍.”
Irwin Brings Snake to Radio Row
Robert also showed up to Super Bowl Radio Row earlier in the day, which left some spectators ducking for cover. Not because it was Robert Irwin, but because he showed up with a giant snake around his neck!
Irwin conducted multiple interviews with the snake around his neck. He didn’t have a care in the world, even as the creature slithered near his face.
Robert was in attendance for the big weekend, as the NFL announced that the Los Angeles Rams and San Francisco 49ers will be playing the first-ever regular-season game next year in Melbourne, Australia, according to the New York Post.
He was excited to be talking with all the journalists. Irwin was pumped to help bring awareness to the game that’ll be played in his native land.
Was just in Australia and saw him making his dad proud by taking over the Crocodile Hunter show at the Steve Irwin Australian Zoo.
