In a recent appearance on "Good Morning America," Robert opened up about his excitement about being an uncle and shared all the exciting and fun plans he has in store for his unborn niece.

When asked what makes him most delighted about being an uncle, the teenager joked, asking the interviewer if he had an hour. Robert then disclosed all his intentions for Bindi's daughter, saying:

"She's gonna learn how to feed crocodiles and ride motorbikes. And she'll be running the zoo by the time she's five years old."
