Robert Irwin recently shared his thoughts on being frequently asked to be shirtless for Dancing With the Stars. He mentioned this during an event on May 12, where he was promoting a new spinoff of the show.

From Winner to Host

Irwin attended the Disney Upfront Red Carpet to promote The Next Pro, a spinoff aiming to find the next professional dancer. Having won season 34 of Dancing With the Stars with Witney Carson, Irwin is now hosting the new series.

He described his journey from being a non-dancer to winning the competition as surreal, expressing how it allowed him to share his conservation message with new audiences.

A New Chapter in Dance
