Bindi Irwin Voices Concern Over Brother Robert's Viral Underwear Campaign, Conservation Efforts

Bindi Irwin expressed mixed feelings about her brother Robert Irwin's recent rise as a sex symbol, marked by his shirtless Dancing With the Stars announcement and underwear campaign with Bonds. While she finds some of his public appearances 'rough' to watch and admits to feeling protective and occasionally scared by the intense attention he receives, Bindi remains proud of Robert for using his visibility to advance their family's conservation efforts through their charity, Wildlife Warriors. She applauds his ability to redirect focus from his sex appeal to meaningful wildlife advocacy, emphasizing his dedication and the positive impact he is making. Bindi described herself as a 'mother hen,' committed to safeguarding him as he develops his own voice and path. The siblings' dynamic highlights the balance between fame, personal boundaries, and a shared mission for wildlife conservation. Supporters and commentators have also noted the varying public reactions to Robert's new role as both a conservationist and a public figure known for his attractiveness.
