It's been almost 20 years since everyone's favourite Aussie passed away.

Steve Irwin was a conservationist and television personality fondly known as 'The Crocodile Hunter'.

He was unfortunately killed by a stingray at the age of 44 and is survived by his widow, Terri Irwin, his daughter Bindi and son Robert.

Over the last few decades, his wife and children have kept his memory alive through their work, interviews, and other activities.

Robert Irwin has even been branded as a true mini Steve because of his passion for animals and personality, which shines through during interviews.

The 21-year-old recently had his social media followers close to tears with a video on Instagram.

Robert filmed himself on a plane, deciding what to watch during his trip.

In the video, he can be seen choosing a movie, but it's not just any movie.

It's his late father's film, 'The Crocodile Hunter: Collision Course'.

He captioned the video: "When the in-flight movie selection is elite 👌".
