Rising media personality Robert Irwin—son of former TV personality and conservationist Steve Irwin—made headlines last month after trading khakis for briefs in a bold new campaign with Australian underwear brand Bonds.
The 21-year-old has now revealed what his family thought of the ad, in which he posed shirtless, clad only in underwear, with snakes, spiders, and lizards as part of the campaign’s nature-meets-lifestyle aesthetic.
While the campaign was received positively by fans for a variety of reasons, Irwin’s family weren’t so thrilled about it, a fact that Robert made clear during a candid interview with US Today.
