It’s been nearly 12 years since they lost their father, but there’s one person who has been able to fill the gaping void in the lives of Bindi and Robert Irwin: Russell Crowe.
The long-time confidant of the family, and former friend of the late Steve Irwin, proved just how much of a father figure he has become to the Irwin siblings, when it was revealed last week that Russell was instrumental in helping the Irwin’s secure the animal conservationist a posthumous star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In a gushing Instagram post, 19-year-old Bindi revealed that The Nice Guys actor, 54, had personally written a letter of recommendation – and that the generous act may have been what sealed the deal.
‘As we get ready to unveil Dad’s Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sending hugs and tremendous gratitude to @russellcrowe,’ she wrote, alongside a throwback picture of her as a child hugging Russell.
‘Your letter of support helped make this all possible. You’ve been there since the beginning and will always feel like family.’
Further explaining, Bindi’s mum, Terri told Seven News: ‘Russell Crowe wrote a letter of recommendation that Steve should get this acknowledgment, so it’s just been terrific.’
