Stripped, flexed and drapped with a python, wildlife warrior Robert Irwin has joined a buffed club of celebrity blokes who have embraced the mantra of sex sells in order to move undies.
Irwin’s new ad campaign for Bonds broke the internet when it was released on Friday, with the series of photos showing his six pack of abs as a snake slithered across his shoulders and he embraced a giant lizard. It was quite the departure from his usual get up of khakis.
Nearly nude and with little left to the imagination, Irwin is certainly not the first star to bare almost all for a provocative underwear campaign.
David Beckham caused a sensation when he fronted up for a series of ads for Emporio Armani in 2007.
In January this year, the then 49-year-old, dropped hisdacks again, appearing in a suggestive and steamy head turning campaign for Boss One Underwear — proving he is the benchmark for stars getting better with age.

Tennis legend Rafael Nadal followed Beckham’s lead and shot a steamy underwear ad for Emporio Armani in 2011 and doubled down by spicing up a Tommy Hilfiger underwear campaign in 2015 which included a very slow-mo undressing sequence.
Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo also went down the underwear modelling route for Emporio Armani in 2010.
Back in Australia where AFL rules, Dustin Martin turned his hand at sultry underwear modelling for Bonds and newly minted Geelong player, Bailey Smith has long been involved with the affordable label Cotton On.
His underwear shoots for the brand proved he could get as much attention in front of a camera as he can for his ball handing skill on a footy field.
Irwin has joined a very star studded clique, indeed.
