Robert Irwin is turning up the volume ahead of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night on “Dancing With the Stars” season 34 tonight. The wildlife conservationist-turned-dancer teamed up with partner Witney Carson for a playful Instagram video inspired by “School of Rock,” channeling his inner Jack Black with air guitar moves and rock-star flair.
Rock & Roll Night on ‘Dancing With the Stars’
In his latest Instagram post, Irwin was showing off his “current vibe” ahead of Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Night on “DWTS” 2025. While doing so, he and Carson paid homage to a beloved big-screen rocker.
Irwin and Carson can be seen rocking out to a clip from the 2003 movie “School of Rock.” They can be seen acting out the iconic scene from the Jack Black-led movie.
For this video, Carson actually takes the lead. She can be seen lip-synching Black’s iconic line from the movie, “But the legend of the rent was way past due. And Katie, you come in with the bass.”
Irwin can’t be seen at the start of the video, but he soon enters while playing air guitar. After rocking it out some more, he then can be seen leaping in the air to end the video. It’s too funny not to share!
‘DWTS’ Fans React to Video
After sharing the video on Instagram, “Dancing With the Stars” fans were quick to jump into the comments to show their love and appreciation for the couple.
One person wrote, “THE JUMP IS SENDING ME LOWKEY,” while another added, “Roberts just here for a good time.”
One user compared him to his father, saying, “You have the same energy as your dad, I loved watching him growing up and love watching you now ❤️.”
Another user joked, “If he doesn’t win, they better cancel the show 😂.”
