Robert Irwin, son of the late Steve Irwin, has yet again proved his talents range far and wide – from wildlife conservation, to photography and now, modelling.
The 19-year-old has just been announced as the face of a new ad campaign for Australian workwear company Hard Yakka.
The two-minute long advert shows the youngest Irwin dressed in various Hard Yakka clothing items as he goes about his day doing a variety of activities and tasks.
Robert is the first of Hard Yakka’s series of ‘legends’.

“I’ve loved the ocean from a really, really young age. It has always been my dad who had that strong connection to the sea and he instilled such a passion and love for the aquatic environment.
“He was an amazing surfer, one of the absolute best and a passionate diver.”
Robert rides a wave for the new advert.
