The words intercepting the scenes said, "In a changing world... the threat is everywhere," before sharing the name of the film, Max Impact.

In his caption, the Dancing With The Stars winner wrote, "Something epic is coming. I'm so excited to finally share what I've been working on… things are about to get wild."

One wrote, "Ok I have been waiting for you to be in a movie!!! Really hope that's what this is!!!"

"I feel like you're checking everything off the bucket list recently ? can't wait!!" another wrote.

"Movie, Documentary, or TV Show either way I'm so excited," one said.

Another joked, "ROBERT WHEN DO YOU SLEEP?!?"

The young star recently appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon for the 14th time, sharing how he was 'death rolled' by a 4.2 metre long crocodile, who was aptly named after the show's host.

"I know you had a baby crocodile you named Jimmy Fallon," the host asked.

"I did. You know what Jimmy? He's not a baby anymore," Irwin began.

"I named this crocodile Jimmy Fallon years ago and he's now what we call a 'boss croc'. He's huge."

And when he says huge, he means it, with the croc coming in at roughly 317 kilograms.

Irwin then explained his father had come up with the famous move to tackle a crocodile they researched in the wild – jumping on their backs – and he decided to give it a go with the croc in question.

"So I jumped on the back of Jimmy Fallon, and... he death-rolled me," he continued.

"I kid you not. 14-foot (4.2m) of crocodile, big croc, death-rolled me."

"So I am stuck underneath him with my arm hanging out. I've got ... probably 700 pounds on top of me, and I am just like, 'What do I do?'" Irwin recalled.

"Luckily he rolled back the other way and I was fine. But, he's a goer, Jimmy."
