Bindi Irwin has opened up about how she really feels when she sees her brother Robert participate in shirtless thirst traps online.
The Wildlife Warrior, 26, said she ‘can’t unsee’ her brother, 21, flaunting his toned torso in his recent Bondi commercial and Dancing With The Stars US announcement.
However, during an appearance on the podcast Not Gonna Lie with Kylie Kelce on Friday, she went on to say she is ‘proud’ of Robert for all he has accomplished.
‘There are some things as his sister that I can’t just unsee. Because when he did the Dancing [With The Stars] announcement, he was also just shirtless,’ she said.
‘He recently did his Bonds commercial where he was just in his underwear. It is rough,’ she added with a laugh.

‘I really want to be supportive. I really am so proud of him. He is taking the message of conservation to new heights.’
Bindi went on to say it is ‘wonderful and extraordinary’ to watch Robert ‘shine’ as he grabs people’s attention and ‘then pivots’ them toward wildlife conservation.
However, she added: ‘Do I get a little bit scared of the girls and women and some guys that are very intense? It can be a lot.’
It comes after Robert reacted to Aussie mums checking out his sultry Bonds underwear campaign which went viral earlier this year.
‘It was different and pretty nerve-racking but having wild animals part of it, made it a lot more chill for me,’ he said during an interview on the Today Show on Thursday.
Robert explained he aims to promote conservation and he enjoys raising awareness in a variety of ways.
‘[The shoot] exemplified that spirit of “even in your undies, Aussies are as cool as a cucumber”,’ he added.
He then joked the shoot was ‘scarier than handling any crocodile’.

The internet went wild over images of Robert posing shirtless in Bonds underwear—flaunting his ripped torso while he cuddled up to native animals including a snake.
Robert recently insisted the shoot was never about vanity, and everything he does comes back to one thing: his passion for conservation.
‘I really thought in modelling Bonds underwear or doing Dancing With The Stars, that sort of thing, I could bring in a whole new audience to listen to my conservation message,’ he told US Weekly.
And he’s sticking to that plan as just weeks ago, he announced he’d joined the cast of the US version of Dancing With The Stars, once again showing off his buff bod while cradling a snake for the promo.
‘That’s how I feel comfortable. That’s who I am,’ he said.
‘It’s all about this mission and I’ve got a real sense of purpose and passion. I got to achieve that.
‘I definitely feel like I’m really lucky that now I’ve got a whole new audience that I can reach and hopefully just put out a bit of positivity and hopefully say, “Life’s for living at 100.”‘
