Robert Irwin has a brand new haircut

Say goodbye to the bowl cut forever - by New Idea

The late Steve Irwin's little boy Robert is growing up - sporting a stylish new haircut in this latest Instagram, from Australia Zoo.

Now 12 years old, the blonde wildlife warrior has said goodbye to his signature bowl cut - but judging by this picture he still loves playing with reptiles, just like his wonderful father.

It's great to see that although he's forging his own identity, he's still very much a chip off the old block. Go Robert! We love his new look!
