But Bindi Irwin, 24, was once an aspiring singer and actress who dreamed of making it big in Hollywood.

A pathetic video of Bindi Irwin rapping with her band The Crocmen in 2007 has resurfaced online to mixed reviews
The clip features a nine-year-old Bindi performing her first-ever single “Trouble In the Jungle” live on stage, flanked by a group of adult male backup dancers known as The Crocmen.
Bindi showed off her rap skills when she posted lyrics about deforestation and animal deaths.

Steve, known to millions around the world as ‘the crocodile hunter’, died on September 4, 2006 at the age of 44 after being stung in the chest by a stingray while filming a documentary about the Great Barrier Reef .
