Photograph: Tony Phillips/AAP vThe late “Crocodile Hunter” Steve Irwin will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contribution to the entertainment industry through wildlife documentaries. Irwin, who died in September 2006, after being struck multiple times by a stingray barb while filming in waters off Port Douglas in far north Queensland, is the only posthumous member of the 2018 television class, which also includes The X-Files actor Gillian Anderson and 1970s Wonder Woman Lynda Carter. “Beyond excited to share with you all that we have just received news that Dad will be honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame,” his daughter Bindi tweeted on Friday. A video taken by Australia Zoo shows the moment she and brother Robert, along with mother Terri, reacted joyously to the news. “He’s going to Hollywood, guys!” Terri says. Bindi says her father “changed the world” by bringing his conservation message into people’s homes through his television programs. The star nomination was sponsored by Visit Sunshine Coast. “Steve has always said that he didn’t care if anyone remembered him, as long as they remembered his message,” Terry Irwin said in a statement from the family’s Australia Zoo conservation site in Western Queensland. “I truly believe that this recognition for Steve’s achievements will ensure that his message of wildlife conservation is remembered.”
Jun 25, 2017 wtf is this everybody getting these stars on walk of fame, 50 percent of these n----s don't deserve it
Jun 25, 2017 I didn't say he doesn't deserve it but too many of them got these stars for doing nothing or doing very little, they give these like condoms on r kelly concerts in the 90s
Jun 25, 2017 You do realise those who get on the Walk of Fame pay for it? It's not like it's a big prestigious honour.
Jun 25, 2017 thought it was some group of people who decide on who will get the star. My mistake, it explains how everybody get these. Steve deserves it though
Jun 25, 2017 steve irwin drove past me a few months before he died at one of his zoos on a motorbike with his baby on the back could you get more of a legend?
