32 Fab Five facts every Queer Eye fan should know | London Evening Standard

N

etflix’s Queer Eye has taken viewers on empowering, eye-opening and emotional journeys since it first aired in 2018.

If you’ve seen the previous series (and the spin-off in which the crew head out to Japan), you’ll already have fallen in love with the Jonathan, Tan, Antoni, Karamo and Bobby, as they bring a hurricane of positivity into people’s lives up and down the US.

In each episode, the five gurus take over almost every area of the participant’s life, making over not just their appearance, but how they feel about themselves.

Jonathan Van Ness takes care of the outside - hair, skincare and self-care - while Karamo makes sure the inside is looked after too (he’s a master at pep talks).

Tan boosts confidence through introducing people to the joy of dressing well, Bobby shows off his incredible home renovation skills, and Antoni cooks up a storm.

As the mission to Make America Gay Again is continuing with season five, here's some facts about the Fab Five you may not have known:

Karamo Brown - Culture

1. Over 10 years before Netflix’s Queer Eye reboot, Karamo was on reality television show The Real World: Philadelphia. This made him the first openly gay black man to appear on reality TV.

2. Karamo is a licensed psychotherapist and social worker, and isn’t actually a fan of his show title ‘culture expert’. Bobby recently told Architectural Digest that they call him ‘Karoprah’.

3. The pep-talk master is a huge advocate for diversity on and off screen. There is a stipulation in his contract that two to three gay African-Americans might be hired on any show he works on.

4. Karamo runs an HIV awareness organisation called the 6in10 Organisation, co-founded with friend and longtime HIV activist Dontá Morrison. According to the website, the organisation is "a HIV awareness organisation with a dedicated mission to eradicate the 6 in 10 HIV statistic plaguing gay and bisexual black men”.

5. The fab five member almost didn’t make into the top five! He revealed in his memoir, Karamo: My Story of Embracing Purpose, Healing and Hope that he was too late to audition for the show, and was told that Netflix had closed casting because they already had too many good candidates. Luckily, his agent worked some magic and pitched him until they gave him a time to audition again.

6. Karamo has a podcast exclusively with Luminary, where he “goes deeper than deep on life’s thorniest issues”. As well as interviewing people, listeners call in and ask questions about various issues that they're facing in their lives.

7. Karamo is a dad! In 2007, he discovered that he had a 10-year-old son, Jason, with his last girlfriend in high school, before he came out at age 16. Karamo received custody of his son the same year he learned he was a father. Three years later, Karamo adopted Jason's half-brother, Chris.

Bobby Berk - Design

8. Bobby has his own online design store! Both the Bobby Berk store and the Berk Interiors and Design say they bring "a new and refreshing point of view with their strong background in consumer sales, expertise in design and collaboration from furniture development, wallpaper, art, and much more.” If his Queer Eye makeovers are anything to go by, we agree.

9. Bobby has no formal education in architecture, interior design, or art, and his road to fame was long and full of setbacks. He worked a number of retail jobs to support himself, at The Gap, American Eagle, West Elm, The Body Shop, Express, and Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

10. The design expert left home at 15-years-old. From the show, we learn that Bobby was kicked out from his home in Missouri after coming out to his adoptive parents, and sometimes lived on the streets. He has previously spoken about how being gay in the Bible Belt was difficult, and he has complicated relationship with the church.

11. Bobby’s makeovers are usually wow viewers the most - and because the design process of a home can be super time-consuming, Bobby works seven days a week.

12. Bobby also designed all of the Fab Five's lofts.

13. According to Tan, Karamo, Jonathan, and Antoni, Bobby is the worst driver in the group.

Tan France - Fashion

14. The fashion expert is a founder of not one but two clothing lines: Kingdom & State and Rachel Parcell. He also secretly enrolled in fashion school, as he was worried his parents didn’t see fashion as ‘proper’ job.

15. Tan never applied to be on the show - he was found through social media. His very chic social media channels caught the eye of producers of Queer Eye and the rest is history.

16. Tan is the only one of the Fab Five who didn't work in TV before Queer Eye.

17. Tan lives with his husband in Salt Lake City. Tan told the New York Post: "It made it easier to date somebody who had similarities to me. I don’t drink alcohol, I don’t smoke. We practice some of our religions’ practices. We don’t practice them all. We practice what works for us.”

18. Shockingly for fans, Tan said he almost quit the show once. In the the third episode of season one, the Fab Five were driving to meet their next hero. The group got pulled over by a cop, who was the nominator of this episode. They didn't realise that it was set up by producers and, as people of colour, Tan and Karamo were worried and upset.

When the group found out it was planned, Karamo and Tan refused to film and Tan almost quit the show. Ultimately, Karamo said he was thankful the moment led to a bigger conversation about police treatment of people of colour, especially black men.

19. Tan grew up in Doncaster! In his memoir Naturally Tan, he speaks about his experience growing up “gay in a traditional Muslim family, as one of the few people of colour in Doncaster”.

Jonathan Van Ness - Grooming

20. Superfans might remember Jonathan before Queer Eye, from his viral webseries Gay of Thrones. The series includes Jonathan hilariously recapping episodes of Game of Thrones from his salon chair.

21. Jonathan studied political science at the University of Arizona… before realising hairdressing was his calling. While he was there he had a cheerleading scholarship.

22. JVN was the first male cheerleader at his school! He came out as gay in 6th grade, saying he was an extremely flamboyant child.

23. Jonathan came out as non-binary last year. His preferred gender pronouns are he/him, but he stated “I didn’t think I was allowed to be nonconforming or genderqueer or nonbinary — I was just always like 'a gay man' because that’s just the label I thought I had to be. ”

24. Jonathan is a licensed cosmetologist - meaning he’s an expert in hair, skin and nails.

25. The skincare expert has also revealed he has psoriasis, a chronic skin condition. Luckily, his experience with the condition has helped him learn even more about skincare.

26. Jonathan still cuts hair - and he can cut yours! The stylist is still giving out haircuts at a couple of salons: Mojo Hair in Los Angeles (which he co-owns with his business partner Monique Northrop) and Arte Salon in New York.

Antoni Porowski - Food and Wine

Netflix

27. The popular Netflix show is a reboot of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, which aired in the early 2000s. Amazingly, Antoni was the personal assistant to Ted Allen, the original food and wine expert! It turns out he recommended Antoni for the job in the reboot.

28. Antoni didn't go to culinary school. In fact, he studied psychology, saying “I wanted to be an actor, and my parents really wanted me to go into medicine, so that was the happy medium”.

29. The foodie doesn’t consider himself strictly gay - while he’s had a series of boyfriends, he considers his sexuality more fluid than the 'gay man’ label, revealing he has had close relationships with girls and guys. He said: “I’ve always considered myself a little more fluid along the spectrum…For me personally, I’ve never really had a label for myself. Today I’m gay, I’m in a gay relationship, and that’s where I am. That’s good enough for me.”

Christopher Smith/Netflix

30. Antoni has a cookbook! The book Antoni in the Kitchen “inspires both newbies and knowledgeable cooks to get back into the kitchen” and includes some of the delicious recipes he’s made on the show.

31. Antoni and costar Jonathan once trolled the internet by setting up a joint Instagram account, including kissing pictures, pretending to be a couple. Later they confirmed that there was nothing serious to it (gutted). Jonathan posted on his Instagram: “It was all Antoni’s idea - but maybe someday we will fall in love #notacouplebutitwasfunright”

32. It wasn’t always all hugs and kisses between the group, as Antoni revealed him and Karamo once fell out. Due to a third party spreading rumours, the two didn’t talk to each other off-camera while filming season 1. Luckily, Antoni and Karamo eventually addressed the conflict and became close friends.

Queer Eye season five is streaming on Netflix now.

5 ways to effectively wallpaper your walls

From time to time someone from the design world tries to say that wallpaper is not fashionable. That this is not even the last century and it's time to abandon this type of finish in favor of other more interesting and innovative ones. However, one has only to look at the current collections of wall paintings, as it immediately becomes clear: it is extremely reckless to write off wallpapers, because they are still ready to show the world all their huge and inexhaustible potential of ideas and possibilities. nine0007

How to choose prints today so that they work in the interior as effectively as possible, read our article.

Think big

For small rooms, almost every owner intuitively seeks to choose an equally compact design - small-sized furniture, wallpaper with small patterns, miniature interior decor. But professional designers know and successfully use the technique of visual scaling even in very small rooms. nine0007

This technique consists in diverting attention to some large spectacular object. It can be a large bright sofa or an interesting half-wall painting. But a wall painting with an interesting large-scale image works in a completely original and unusual way in compact interiors.

Most popular prints:

However, any object that is able to interest itself and at the same time approach the general concept of the interior will do.

Visual scaling switches us from the moment of visual assessment of the dimensions of the room to the contemplation of an unusual and attractive picture. But here it is also important to maintain a balance and not “slide” from aesthetics to obsession. In the long term, the image should not put pressure on the psyche and vision, that is, annoy you with its presence. nine0007

Open up the walls

Perhaps the easiest way to achieve a wow effect in a room with wallpaper is to purchase a panoramic canvas for one of its walls. A wall decorated with a picturesque landscape or an architectural panorama seems to dissolve, and everyone entering the room has an additional visual perspective, due to which there is a feeling of spaciousness even in the smallest rooms.

Modern designers suggest not to pursue realistic images. A more calming and even anti-stress effect is possessed by canvases decorated in the technique of academic painting, engraving and book illustration. And the plots most popular today take us to the pastoral corners of France, to the Mediterranean coast or to the far East - to the mountains of Japan, the gardens of China. nine0007

Turn on the ceiling

An interesting and truly unforgettable effect can be achieved by moving the focus from the walls to the ceiling. Today's range of finishing materials makes it easy to stylize this plane as an endless starry sky or a gentle flowering garden, decorate it with serene dawn clouds, northern lights or a real map of the world.

In such an interior design, wallpaper on the ceiling can work in contrast with plain wallpaper on the walls, or it can smoothly “flow” onto the walls and create the effect of a “box room” - cozy, intimate and full of secrets and mysteries. nine0007

Diversify reality

Interior design is a storehouse of interesting and spectacular techniques, one of which is called hyperrealism. This is a way of decorating a room, in which certain elements are perceived by human vision as real, although they are not.

If, entering a room, you find a portal to parallel worlds in it, or suddenly another window appears there, or the room turns out to be part of a fairy-tale palace, then most likely part of the room is decorated with wallpaper with hyperrealistic scenes. nine0007

This segment of the wallcovering market is also very diverse. Here you can find quite calm images like beautiful stucco (these will look very elegant on the walls of the bedroom), and much more expressive and expressive “stories” - for example, a leopard preparing to jump right at you in its natural habitat.

More dynamic

Another option to make your home interior truly memorable is to hang wallpaper with a repeating pattern on the walls, creating an optical illusion effect. This option, of course, also balances on the verge of momentary delight, turning into constant irritation. But if you have the courage to experiment and a certain amount of taste and observation, then why not try to bring it to life? nine0007

Wallpaper with optical illusions is usually decorated with geometric or abstract patterns. These canvases are so active that the whole space with them literally begins to vibrate. So that such vibrations do not start to drive you crazy over time, use such finishing materials in the design of rooms in a dosed manner: it will be enough if you paste them over only one wall or even only part of the wall.
