Directo brought up the topic by praising the duo’s hip movement during their recent DWTS performances. When asked if they “feel like Shakira tonight,” Irwin responded, “The hips don’t lie, oh yeah,” as he burst out into a sudden showcase of his newly learned fluid hip movement.
Following that, he was asked if it was true that he was approached by Chippendales to host a show and if it was something he was considering. He responded, “That is true,” and went on to reveal, “I also… The Aussie boys as well, Thunder Down Under also reached out.” Responding to the latter half of the question, he then stated, “All power to them… just not for me. Not right now… you know… I’ll take the shirt off every now and again… but I’m gonna draw the line there.”
“I’m all about… you know… anything to push the conservation message,” he continued. “Yeah… Chippendales, sorry… not quite, not quite,” Irwin said, once again politely declining the offer.
