At seven o'clock in the morning?

It was eating him up.

We all met it.

Casting at Queer Eye.

Auditions were in L.

A.

We were in a hotel.

It was a cocktail party.

Where was a meet and greet?

End of February?

Yep.

17.

The cocktail party space was a super intimidating.

There was like 90 or 80 gays or 60 or 50 or 90 and so funny.

That number and all of our heads changes, I think.

42 guys who are auditioning I thought there was almost 200.

No.

Well, I already gathered around the boss.

It was like a weird, much some tan.

And I we were by the food.

I was five ill didn't meet because we were so focused on the food eating food.

Yeah, to be very honest with the only people I really honed it on were the people that are here.

Karam Oh, and tan, with the very first to that I met and we in something kind of clicked.

I read into tan.

First we saw each other at the elevator, and I immediately thought 10 is going to get this show.

And I also thought he was so handsome.

And then when we got to casting, we immediately also have met each other within the 1st 5 minutes.

Me, Bobby and 10 immediately.

Then you came over.

No, you came over next, Anthony.

I thought was nervous.

Nervous?

Nelly?

Oh, I thought for sure that I didn't get any been cut like this lady came over and gave him a hug.

And he thought that meant that she had cut him.

So he like he got his stuff to go to leave, and then everyone had to stop.

Where you going?

I'm going.

I'm cut.

He's like, you're not quite like She gave everyone a hug as she was like she was consoling and she was consoling me because somebody else had gotten cut.

It was somebody who I'd befriended.

I tried to talk to you.

What?

You were really nervous.

And so are you nervous to me?

He just was really offended that I wouldn't stop talking about it all.

My first interaction with Jonathan.

He ran across the room yelling Where is she?

Where is she?

Where is she?

And he was looking for his coffee.

My first impressive of Jonathan was that there's no way he could be, Really?

Because nobody could have that much energy naturally.

But then by day to it didn't waver.

And I was like, Wow, no, he just has that much energy.

Naturally.

I remember already meanly thinking Oh, no, I don't think they think that because he told me a very, very personal story, and it shocked me.

But now Jonathan is one of my favorite people on the planet.

Two days after we got cast, I took him to a birthday party with, like, friends of, like, 20 years.

And the stories he told them I love them.

I love many seconds.

Many loves me.

And I love many.

And she did not think that was a weird story at all.

Your friends loved me.

Just you know, I didn't say they didn't love you.

I just thought I was shy.

Ever been in my about how you sure?

I mean, absolutely not.

I definitely thought that tan was very buttoned up, very professional, looked very sleek.

I was so attracted to because of that gorgeous skin, that camel coat.

And I thought that Tan was so confident.

Within the first few minutes, Karama was already covered up with Tanz jacket cause he's always cold and it was not cold.

I was freezing and he just was, like, here, love, take my jacket.

When I first met Crossbow, he was the best present to greet me.

Karam.

Oh, I instantly knew was going to get the role.

Are the role Get the job?

Graham was very big, unlike yes, intimate, like one on one, like Hey, here you are.

I'm addressing and I remember thinking he's attractive.

My first impression of Bobby wasn't he was a total worry wart because we were standing next to each other and he messed up these two guys names that were an unmaking.

Yes, I remember.

I just called that one the wrong name.

I called that one by that was like what I do.

And I was like, Look, I turn my head to see who he was talking about when I so a trip, you know, I don't think that's that big of a deal.

But by the time I said that, he'd already be lying across the room, was talking, ordered both of them and telling them how sorry he wasn't messing their names and little.

I would say Bobby was the most intimidating because he had, like, seven suits laid out on across the table.

Bobby was giving me, like, a lot of brightness.

The people that casting said that the Netflix executives saw my bright blue, colorful suit online Google.

They wanted to see that Bobby would like a caricature of Bobby Burke.

You have these really chunky glasses on this really blunt spike.

You had super bright suits.

No, not old body.

It was like an offensive legion tone to It was like I fix it, We got you there.

We knew immediately that we'd be friends.

It was no doubt in our minds I had actually started a 55 group text before we were even cast between the five of us.

I think that's what the producer saw.

Outside of each of our individual skills.

I think they saw a natural bond.

Also, they saw us fighting for each other.

Meeting Jonathan has changed me because he's so open minded, nonjudgmental.

He's so opinionated.

He's so well informed.

He's very, very studied in many, many areas.

And so he's taught me so, so, so much.

I know that a lot of people in production right now would like roll their eyes and no Satan.

But I've become a lot more patient.

I would agree.

Jonathan has definitely become more patient hanging out with the four of us.

Meeting Anthony has made me more sensitive.

Crop was probably one of the first people on you within my age group who actually had kids, but also grown ass kids and just sort of like here is experience about parenting.

What I've learned from 10 is, if you say things that are a little harsher, but with a British accent, people don't get is upset versus if we say it in American accent.

You can't have five people who are really good at what they do and who are open and honest and transparent, not try to help the other people there with constantly and comfortable enough to be like called out on our ship.

Absolutely way Talia growing.

We challenge each other all the time square right, And that's how we met.

It is this isn't about how we met, but there were Aaron Cheney.

Fried little risotto balls.

I shoved one in my mouth and right when David Collins was coming in, I was really intimidated.

Creator and I started choking, and I tried to swallow it in one gulp, and I started getting teary eyed as I was talking to him.

And I think he thought I was getting emotional, which I wasn't totally off brand, but I was actually choking on a fried payables, died on the first day.
