Crikey! It's two Robert Irwins!

Fair Dinkum! Which is the real Robert? Today, Wildlife Warrior Robert Irwin came face-to-face with his wax figure at Madame Tussauds Sydney. The 20-year-old conservationist, photographer and television personality, known for his boundless enthusiasm and love for animals, couldn't contain his excitement as he stood side by side with his wax doppelganger.

The unveiling marks a historic moment for Madame Tussauds Sydney, as Robert Irwin becomes the youngest Australian ever to be immortalised in wax. Wearing the iconic Australia Zoo khakis, Robert’s wax figure holds a Canon EOS 5D Mark IV camera with a wax woma python draped casually across the lens.

Robert Irwin said, “I’m honoured to be recognised at Madame Tussauds Sydney with my own wax figure. Standing face-to-face with this incredible likeness is a truly surreal experience and offers a unique opportunity to share my message of conservation with an even wider audience. I would like to thank the Madame Tussauds team for creating something so phenomenal, and I’m thrilled to share this moment with everyone.”

Robert’s wax figure, a testament to the meticulous craftsmanship of Madame Tussauds' artists, required over 100 measurements and 300 reference photos to achieve its startling likeness.

The arrival of Robert's wax figure continues the Irwin family's legacy at Madame Tussauds Sydney, joining his father Steve Irwin's wax figure in the new ‘Wild Australia’ zone. Guests can enter the tropical paradise, where the spirit of Queensland's Daintree Rainforest comes alive through towering rainforest canopies and an authentic wildlife soundscape. What's a tribute to the Irwins without their favourite reptilian friend? A lifelike saltwater crocodile makes itself right at home in the space.

In a touching moment that added depth to the celebratory occasion, Robert had the opportunity to see his father, Steve Irwin’s wax figure for the first time.
