Itโs not the likeliest of pairings, but in a fries-and-thickshake style development, the results have been *chefโs kiss*. Uber Eats has unveiled its latest โTonight Iโll Be Eatingโ commercials starring the Irwin family โ Terri, Bindi, Robert โ whoโve apparently adopted a new member of its family in the one and only Paris Hilton.
The headlining 30-second ad spot opens with Bindi Irwin telling the camera sheโll be enjoying a veggie parmi and chippies with the Australia Zoo family before cutting to said โfamily members.โ
Thereโs the crocodiles as presented by Bindi herselfโฆ the lizards as presented by brother Robertโฆ the giraffes as presented by mother Terri, and finallyโฆ a tongue-in-cheek chihuahua enclosure presented by the Hilton Hotels heiress. Cue punchline about the enclosure being where they actually keep the snakes.

โThe Irwins have become my ZFFs โ theyโre my zoo fam forever,โ says Paris Hilton.
โIt was so much fun filming these segments with them. I really hope the audience finds the commercials as joyful as I found filming them.โ
โIt was certainly a fun time,โ Robert Irwin reveals to BH firsthand; in reference to the collaboration between cultural icons.
โParis was as passionate about the project as we are about wildlife conservation. Itโs really great when someoneโs on the same page.โ
Initially, the author of this very article was destined for sunny Los Angeles to interview Ms Hilton person. It was, however, tanked by a positive COVID-19 test โ which arrived in line at Sydney International Airport (a cosmic kick to the balls if there ever was one). Still, a quick chat with Australiaโs most beloved clan of wildlife conservationists wasnโt a bad consolation prize.
โIโve dealt with small dogs before โ I have a pug โ and some chihuahuas are great, theyโre a lovely breed,โ Robert explains of his chihuahua wrangling skills.
โBut I think Paris is the expert hereโฆ I have to give that one to Paris.โ
I ask what he thinks is easier to feed: a freshwater crocodile or an LA socialite?
โ[Laughter.] Thatโs a good one, mate. I think Iโll have to go with crocs. You know what you get with crocs. Theyโll try to eat you and that might sound scary, but itโs simple.
โCrocs donโt really have that many dietary requirements. They donโt mind eating some gluten.โ
And if you asked the young buck what his ideal night in on the couch resembles, the response would be just as clear cut, simplistic, with a charming air of groundedness.
โLookโฆ Iโm pretty diverse. Sometimes Iโll have a curry, sometimes Iโll get a burger. But I think my go-to Uber Eats order has to be: pasta. Like a big gnocchi.โ
