Robert Irwin is proving he’s more than just his famous last name on “Dancing With the Stars” season 34. The 21-year-old wildlife conservationist wowed viewers during “TikTok Night” on “DWTS” 2025 with a high-energy Salsa that included a shirt-ripping surprise. That viral moment not only lit up social media but also landed him a surprising invitation from Chippendales in Las Vegas.
Shirtless Performance Catches the Eye of Chippendales
Irwin caused quite a stir after his performance with his professional dance partner Witney Carson this past week on “TikTok Night.” The couple performed to “Million Dollar Baby” by Tommy Richman, which got them a score of 22 out of 30 from the “Dancing With the Stars” judges.”
During their performance, Irwin ripped off his shirt, revealing his toned physique. While fans were flocking to social media to comment on this spicy moment, they weren’t the only ones noticing.
As it turns out, Irwin got a special job offer from the Chippendales in Las Vegas, per TMZ. The well-known group sent a pitch to his manager, who just happens to be his mother, Terri Irwin.
The group asked if Irwin would be willing to show off his dance moves with them once he wraps up this season of “Dancing With the Stars.”
TMZ said the pitch ended with, “His personality, kindness, skills (and body!) make for a perfect celebrity host!”
There is no word on whether or not Irwin has accepted the offer or not.

“Dancing With the Stars” fans have been hitting up social media ever since Robert & Witney took to the dancefloor this past week. They have been expressing their love for Irwin, some even comparing him to the legendary Patrick Swayze.
On the “DWTS” YouTube page, one user wrote, “HE PATRICK SWAYZED THE HECK OUTTA THAT DANCE 🕺 & NO ONE WAS READY… AND GO WHITNEY SHE ALWAYS SLAY.”
Another user said, “Went from ‘ballroom’ dancing to Magic Robert real quick once that shirt came off.” This fan joked, “I’m old enough to be his grandma but oh my!! That young man is 🔥.”
While many were stating Robert & Witney need to win it all this season, one person wrote some high praise for the 21-year-old, “Whatever the IT factor is…Robert has it!!! He exudes such confidence at the same time remaining so humble! ❤”
“Dancing With the Stars” season 34 airs on ABC and Disney+ on Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET, with new episodes available to stream the next day on Hulu.
