Robert Iwrin is not your average 13 year old.
The son of Steve and Terri has followed in his dad’s footsteps, continuing Steve’s love of nature and conservation while also pursuing his passion for photography.
The resemblance between Robert (which is what he likes to be called now that he’s all grown up) and Steve is seriously uncanny, made obvious by Robert’s recent late-night television debut (grab your tissues).
We can’t wait to see what the budding adventurer has in store next.

Robert made his US late-night TV debut and gave us all a serious case of déjà vu as dad Steve was also a favourite of Jimmy Fallon. So much so, Jimmy told Robert during his show “I loved your dad, so much.”
As fans lost their minds over how much Bob is like his late dad, proud mum Terri took to Twitter to share this spooky side-by-side. “I found a picture of Steve when he was about the same age as Robert. It’s uncanny how much he looks like his dad,” she wrote. For those playing at home, Steve is on the left and Bob is on the right.

“It’s amazing because he’s so much like his dad. Robert’s into photography and wildlife and getting into the ocean. All the things that Steve loves. So it’s very beautiful watching Robert grow up,” Terri said on the Today show in December, in celebration of her son becoming a teen.
