In the clip, Irwin cleverly honors one of Bailey’s memorable moments from the well-loved film, teasing viewers about his upcoming performance on the ballroom floor. He playfully lip-synced Bailey’s lines, stating, “I’ll say it once again. The responsibility to corrupt my fellow students falls to me,” before joyfully joining his fellow cast members in rehearsal.
Irwin’s post was filled with excitement, featuring a playful caption that read, “Gonna bring the rizz to shiz. You ready to dance through life tomorrow?” Fans responded with enthusiasm, eager to see how he and his professional partner Witney Carson will bring this iconic scene to life. Comments on his Instagram post were filled with anticipation, with followers urging Irwin to dress like Prince Fiyero and expressing their excitement for what they expect to be a spectacular performance.
