When Robert Irwin sees his late father’s wax figure, he breaks down. Steve! He’s not just a picture for the first time in a long time
At Madame Tussauds Sydney, Robert Irwin received a wax figure in his honor that will be placed adjacent to the statue of his father.
The ceremony was made even more memorable by the fact that Robert Irwin’s Madame Tussauds wax figure was placed next to his late father, Steve Irwin.
On Thursday, Nov. 28 in Sydney, Australia, 20-year-old Robert was filled with emotion when he first saw his father Steve’s wax figure.
«That is incredible. «He’s not just a picture for the first time in a long time,» Robert remarked, fighting back tears. According to the footage, the young celebrity then shook his head, inhaled deeply, and left to gather himself.
Like his father, who was murdered by a stingray in 2006 when Robert was just two years old, Robert is an environmentalist and zookeeper.
Robert and his 26-year-old sister Bindi currently work at the Australia Zoo, which was owned by Steve and his wife Terri.
One of the most bizarre experiences of my life is this one. After getting his wax figurine, which depicts him holding a snake, Robert told the Australian morning show Sunrise, «This is just incredible.» «I just keep thinking, ‘It’s me!'» as I gaze at every tiny thing that moves. It’s me! I’m not sure if the world can handle two of me.
