Robert Irwin reveals his morbid hobby of finding gravestones and memorials bearing his own name

His life was touched by tragedy when he was just two years old when his father died.

But that doesn’t stop Robert Irwin, son of the late conservationist Steve “The Crocodile Hunter” Irwin, from having a morbid sense of humor.

The 19-year-old zookeeper revealed this week that he has a rather dark hobby: posing for photos with gravestones and memorials bearing his own name.

He posted a gallery of Instagram snaps from his travels, featuring him alongside tributes to other Roberts from around the world.

Some photos show him with street signs or outside airports, others show him next to gravestones for men with the same name.

It comes after Robert recently wowed fans by recreating an iconic photo of himself and his late father Steve.

He shared a keepsake photo on Instagram of himself as a toddler, sitting on Steve’s lap and holding the steering wheel of his father’s company car.

Robert then posted a recent photo of himself driving the same car he happened to learn to drive.

Steve Irwin died on September 4, 2006, aged 44, after being shot in the chest by an arrow while filming a wildlife documentary in Queensland.

His son was then only two years old and his daughter Bindi eight.
