24 June 2026<\/time>\n <\/p>\nTan France did not like Antoni Porowski “at all” when they first met.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tan France has opened up about his co-stars<\/p>\n
\nThe 43-year-old TV star became “very, very close” with Antoni after working with him for years on Queer Eye, the hit TV show, but their friendship took some time to develop.<\/p>\n
\nDuring an appearance on the Dinner’s On Me podcast, Tan shared: “Even though he’s one of my closest friends in the world, we started out as complete strangers.<\/p>\n
\n“Somebody I did not think I liked at all when I first met him, and then we became very, very close.”<\/p>\n
\nTan recalled thinking that Antoni was simply “too nice”.<\/p>\n
\nAsked why he didn’t immediately take to his co-star, Tan replied: “I thought he was too nice.<\/p>\n
\n“After work, I need someone to gossip with and say, ‘Hey, what that b**** said to me today’. Like, ‘Can you believe that happened?’ And I need them to say, ‘Yeah, I did hear it.’ Like, ‘Can you f****** believe she said this to me?’<\/p>\n
\n“I want somebody to ‘yes, and’ me. And he was not that person.”<\/p>\n
\nTan ultimately decided to confront his co-star about the issue.<\/p>\n
\nHe told Antoni: “I don’t think you and I are gonna be friends and that’s such a shame.<\/p>\n
\n“He was like, ‘Oh no, I’m dying to gossip. I thought that you were too nice. I didn’t like you ’cause you were too sweet’.<\/p>\n
\n“I’m like, ‘Oh, I’ve been waiting for someone to b**** with.’ He was like, ‘Great. Let’s do this.’ And so we had this one evening together, which was magical and changed my life.”<\/p>\n
\nTan also recalled falling out with another unnamed Queer Eye co-star.<\/p>\n
\nThe fashion designer said: “I’ve never said this before, and I won’t say who it was, but during filming of that first season, somebody on the cast was quite frustrated with me when they found out that I wasn’t out to my family.<\/p>\n
\n“We got into a heated argument and I was saying, ‘You have no idea what my experience is as a queer Muslim, a queer Brown person, a queer immigrant.'”<\/p>\n
