Like father, like son! Robert Irwin is compared to his famous dad Steve in resurfaced identical pictures taken 15 years apart
There’s no doubt about it: Robert Irwin is the son of the late conservationist Steve.
And a resurfaced photo is making fans do a double take.
In 2019, 20-year-old Robert recreated an iconic photo of his father feeding Australia Zoo’s most dangerous crocodile, ‘Murray’.
In the photo, the teen looks eerily like Steve, dressed in the same Australia Zoo uniform: khaki shorts and a matching shirt.
In the photo, Robert is standing dangerously close to the dangerous animal, as is Steve.
A social media user re-shared the comparison to Facebook on Wednesday.
“Steve Irwin and his son. Same place, same crocodile, 15 years apart,” the post read, along with the caption, “Jeez Steve was a bloody legend hey!!”
Fans were quick to share their thoughts on the comparison.
