Tan France and "hero" Brandon Mixon on an episode of "Queer Eye."After four years and more than 50 episodes of “Queer Eye,” Tan France thinks the show is still doing good for each episode’s “hero,” viewers and the public in general.
France now has more than 4 million Instagram followers. He is, arguably, the most famous out, gay person in Utah. He’s known around the world as the fashion guy on “Queer Eye.” The second season of his other Netflix show, “Next in Fashion,” is in production. He wrote a best-selling autobiography. He recently hosted the fifth-season reunion of Netflix’s “Selling Sunset.” His documentary about colorism and skin bleaching, “Beauty and the Bleach,” recently aired on the BBC in the U.K.
When he’s not working, France is a homebody. About the only time he goes out when he’s home in Utah is to restaurants, and that’s when “people get really excitable. The question is always, ‘Oh my God — what are you doing here?’” France said. “My response is, ‘I’ve been here. This is my home.’” One of the reasons France auditioned for the show, despite thinking he would never be cast as one of the Fab Five, was because he hoped to make new friends. And that’s worked out for him. “I don’t want to jinx it, but it’s better than ever,” France said.
“Some people make fun, thinking, ‘Oh, why would you love that place? It sounds so podunk,’” France said. “It’s not. I think it’s wonderful, I think it’s got the perfect balance of city and country, and I think it’s the most beautiful landscape in the world.” “We were not going to get a second season,” France said. “And then we found out they wanted to bring it back because it did very, very well, which I knew it would. I was, like, ‘Well, I’ve got a feeling I’m going to get a call soon.’ And, lo and behold, I did.”
He said the criticism didn’t hurt him. “It just made me laugh thinking, ‘Gosh, I can’t believe this is what riles you up,’” he said. “I’ve been extra queer on ‘Queer Eye’ for quite some time, and nobody seems to have a problem with that. But my choices on who I send home and who I let stay on this show is the thing that gets you?…
