‘Hang on a Minute… This Guy Really Does Look Like Me’
View this post on Instagram“I arrived back home in Australia to the news that my hometown hosted a Robert Irwin lookalike competition,” he says in the clip. “And I went, ‘Hang on a minute, this guy really does look like me.’”
When the two finally met, Irwin could barely hide his amazement. “Holy moly! This actually is kind of weird, man,” he laughed. “Dude, there’s two of us now.”
Rather than stopping at side-by-side comparisons, Irwin decided to see just how “Robert Irwin” Marshall really was. The challenge? Handling a massive Burmese python.
The pair then held the enormous python together as Irwin explained how the species uses its weight and strength to subdue prey. Marshall passed with flying colors, earning Irwin’s approval and a congratulatory handshake.

Others couldn’t get enough of the “seeing double” moment.
“Now we know who gets to be your stunt double when there is inevitably a movie made about your life ?,” one commenter added, sparking playful replies about a future “down under action film.”
Even Visit Sunshine Coast chimed in, calling it “No better way to welcome you back to the Sunshine Coast ??.”
Between viral sibling moments, lookalike contests, and now meeting his own double while holding a 12-foot python, Irwin’s post-DWTS homecoming has been anything but quiet. And judging by his reaction, even he wasn’t quite prepared for just how uncanny the resemblance would be.
