Robert Irwin has cleared up talk about a possible Hollywood move after fans thought he was teasing a major action film. The 22-year-old Australian conservationist shared a trailer last week for a project called ‘Max Impact,’ which looked like a big-screen adventure. He has now revealed that the clip is part of a new advertising campaign with outdoor clothing brand Columbia, though he did not rule out acting in the future.
Robert Irwin’s Hollywood plans after ‘Max Impact’
According to PEOPLE, Robert Irwin spoke about the campaign and whether it points to a shift toward acting. The outlet asked him if the project marked the start of a new career path.“We’ll see. This is my first little toe-dip into it,” Robert said.His answer has kept interest alive among fans who want to see him take on more screen roles. The teaser for ‘Max Impact’ had the feel of an action blockbuster, with dramatic visuals and a polished movie-style tone. However, Robert confirmed the project is on a smaller scale and part of his partnership with Columbia.The campaign still marks another step into entertainment for Robert, who has spent much of his life in front of cameras. He grew up on television through his family’s work in wildlife conservation and continues to carry forward the legacy of his late father, Steve Irwin.
