Robert Irwin reveals what terrifies him the most about visiting America

Robert Irwin has revealed what he finds “terrifying” about visiting the US, and it has nothing to do with catching crocodiles.

The 21-year-old is a frequent traveller to America and has been spending time there after attending the Steve Irwin Gala in Las Vegas in May.

While the wildlife conservationist doesn’t appear to be scared of anything, even the most venomous animals, he has shared he has a crippling fear of driving on the other side of the road.

“Hey America .. .why’d you put the steering wheel on the wrong side? And do fake glasses make it look like I know what I’m doing? Driving here is terrifying,” he wrote to his 7.5 million Instagram followers.

His mum, Terri, who is originally from Oregon, responded in the comment section with some words of encouragement.

“You’ve got this!” she wrote.

One user poked fun at Irwin being scared of driving despite getting up close with some of the most dangerous animals on the planet.

“Terrifying? Don’t you live in a country where everything is poisonous/venomous?!”

Irwin recently stripped down to his boxers for a steamy Bonds photo shoot, posing with pythons and other reptiles while shirtless.

The khaki-loving TV presenter has been revealed as one of the contenders on the US version of Dancing With the Stars (DWTS), which is set to return to screens later this year.

He opened up about his long anticipated DWTS debut at the Steve Irwin Gala, sharing his excitement— and teasing a few fashion surprises to come.

“I’ve been thinking about it for 10 years. Literally, since Bindi did it,” Irwin told Extra, referencing his sister Bindi’s winning season in 2015.

“One day, that’s going to be me.”

Now that day has come, and the youngest Irwin is bringing his signature Aussie flair to the ballroom — possibly minus a shirt.
