Tan France | Queer Eye’s Fashion Guru on Finding Love, Overcoming Struggles & the Offer He Almost Turned Down!
#812. Tan France is getting raw and real in this episode, opening up like never before. He shares the sweet and unexpected love story of how he met his husband—and why he knew he was in trouble after just one lunch. He also gets candid about life on Queer Eye, revealing how he turned down the show multiple times, the surprising way his offer came to be, and how each of the Fab 5 were “assigned” roles that don’t always match who they really are (his husband swears he's nothing like that Tan France on TV!). Tan also reflects on feeling alienated growing up, the power of representation, and why he once believed he wouldn’t live past 25. It’s a conversation filled with heart, honesty, and a few jaw-dropping moments you won’t want to miss. Hit play now! If you’re LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below!
