- I just want to hear something sweet about
your significant other.
(gasps)
- Oh, get ready for it.
- That was cute!
We didn't do that.
(laughs)
- Let's practice, wait.
(gasps dramatically)
(boisterous laughs)
(upbeat music)
- Hey! I'm Adair Curtis!
- And I'm his husband, Jason Bolden.
- And we're going on a blind double date
with "Queer Eye's" Tan France and his husband, Rob,
who we're meeting for the first time.
- Finally!
(overlapping conversation)
- How are you?
(upbeat music)
- Welcome to the Netflix family, my loves.
(glasses clinking)
- Thanks for having us!
- (Rob) Cheers!
- Welcome to the family!
You're going to love it here, I promise!
- (Jason) Thank you, thank you, thank you!
- So let's get to know each other!
How did you get started in fashion and styling?
- So I had, um, a granddad,
who had a factory,
and he made denim.
So by the time I was thirteen,
I was making denim jackets and jeans.
- Wow!
- Word!
- Just for fun!
I dropped out of college and decided to sign up
for fashion college, and I, I fell in love with designing.
How'd you get into it?
- (sighs) OK, so I grew up in the Midwest.
I go to college to be a OB-GYN.
My mom gave me a credit card with $500
and spent it the first day.
- On what? Shoes?
- No, a backpack!
(laughs)
- Good for you!
- I needed a designer bag to carry my books in!
My mom was like, "Well, you have to figure it out.
You need to get a job."
So I got my first job with Cynthia Rowley.
Before I knew it, I was like, styling people,
but it was just on a retail level.
- How did you get into interior design?
- I was one of those kids that always loved design,
and I was always into entertainment.
And I'm like, I need to do something else.
I just saw this like, glimmer and window of opportunity,
and I went full-time into, into interior design.
I already know what you do, Rob, in my head, right?
I know you're an illustrator.
- Yeah.
- So, tell me everything.
- So I started out as a pediatric nurse, officially.
- Wow!
- And then I did illustration on the side just as, um,
just as like, a hobby for a good time.
- OK, I want to stop you.
(laughs)
- I want to brag!
(stutters) You're very modest.
And that's lovely.
- Same!
- It drives me insane!
- It's annoying!
- And so, he does, he'll produce collection of art.
He will launch it online,
and it will sell out within fifteen minutes.
- Wow!
- Tell us about your new show, "Styling Hollywood"!
- (sighs) "Styling Hollywood" is about Adair, and myself,
and our business, Jason's Studio.
You get to walk with us on the journey of styling
some of the most amazing women,
and then walking with Adair going into some of these
gazillion dollar homes that we get to touch and, you know,
turn upside down and make them gorgeous.
(music swelling)
- OK, let's get to some good stuff.
- Scandal!
- No scandal! (laughs)
- Oh.
- There's plenty!
- Shame!
- I think what's great about both of our shows,
it shows, you know, the power of the queer men.
- Yeah!
- I just really am intrigued about what you feel about
what "Queer Eye" has done on that same platform.
- I think that "Queer Eye", or just queer shows
that we have on Netflix, offer a window into a world
that I don't think has been explored before.
- Mhm.
- And I think it's really important for shows like
"Queer Eye" or your show to show that
there's so much more to us than just
the thing that we do for a job.
Up until this point, it was just,
"Shut up and make things pretty!"
But, I have a husband.
I have desires to have children soon.
- Yeah!
- Stereotypical ideas of what only queer people do.
- (Tan) Yeah!
- It's like, queers: they are just like us!
- We haven't really seen a lot of
honest queer relationships, so do you have one
that sticks out in your mind for either of you?
- I really don't see anything that looks like me.
- (Tan) Mhm.
- You get it very, very aggressively and hearty
when it comes to two white males.
But like, you never, it's never like
anybody wants to lean into-
- Your story's never told.
- (Jason) My story, our story.
It's really amazing to actually see little brown kids
walk up to us, and other people our age, walk up to us,
with like, "Yes! This is amazing!"
(stutters) If I hear "finally" one more time...
- Finally! Finally!
- It is out of this world!
It's like, "Finally! Finally! Finally!"
- So what are your hopes for the industry going forward?
- This is controversial to say
because I would put myself out of the job.
- (Jason) Uh-oh!
- But, my hope for the industry is that-
(laughs)
- There's no, there's never a reason for a "Queer Eye"!
It's a little bit sad that
we need this to bring people together.
- (Adair) Yeah.
- It's like, I can't imagine there are many Caucasian
straight people having to have any of these conversations.
- Yeah.
- What's your hope for the industry, beauty?
- My hope for the industry?
- Yeah!
- Is to see less of myself on TV.
- Liar!
- I was hoping you were going to say,
"To see more of my people on TV!"
(boisterous laughs)
- You know what I don't see on television anymore?
- Cowboys!
- Gay white boys!
(laughs)
- With major hair.
(music swelling)
- I just want to hear something sweet about
your significant other.
- No matter how unattractive I feel,
(stutters)
a lot of the time with him, I will tell him,
and he will make me feel so much better.
He'll be like, "You're the most beautiful person I know!
I married you for a reason!"
Everyday!
To this day, he tells me how much he loves me,
and how attracted he is to me.
- Well he makes it very easy.
- Yeah, which is very nice.
- (exclaims)
- (Rob) Barf!
- No, it's so good!
- (Tan) It's really sweet!
Do you know what?
I feel very lucky after eleven years
to still love him this much.
- More than ever actually!
- Yes, more than ever!
My castmate Jonathan hates how we are with each other!
(laughs)
He's like, "That can't be real!"
- The cameras are off!
Yeah, he's like, "That can't be real,
that you like each other that much."
And I'm like, no, I married him for a reason!
Yeah!
Why are you so proud of Jason, and then vice versa, please?
- Jason continues to evolve into a more loving,
thoughtful, caring person who has empathy for not just like,
us and our family, but just everyone around him.
And that makes me fall in love with him more,
over and over and over again.
- I think, for me, it's commitment and your compassion
for, you know, all of my antics.
I'm just so proud to know that
your commitment and your compassion is everlasting.
- Fill in the blank. Life with your partner is...
- Heaven! Bliss! Perfection!
- I was going to use the word, bliss, yeah!
- Actually, I'm going to change that!
Because they are the obvious ones, but I want to say, easy!
- That was the other word I was going to use!
- You're a liar!
- Awww!
- If I had to answer that question myself...
- (Tan) Yeah!
- I would say, rewarding!
You know, life with Jason is rewarding.
He's the gift that keeps on giving.
- (Tan) Yeah!
- Cheers to that, bitch!
(laughs)
- I'm a major investment!
(laughs)
- To Jason, the gift that keeps on giving!
- I can't top that, so we'll just end on that note!
(laughs)
I'm just going to say that I'm going to hold a mirror up
and I'm probably going to say the same thing.
- That sounded founded, but we can move on!
(laughs)
- We're going to teach you guys something.
- Yes!
- (Jason) When you go on a first date with us...
- (Tan) Uh-huh!
- You pay!
(overlapping chatter)
- I was just about to say,
it feels like its the first date,
and we're welcoming you into the family, you should pay!
- We're going to pay!
- I like him a lot!
- I feel like I knew it!
- Welcome to my relationship!
- Actually, no, you're right!
We always insist on paying,
and seeing as you're joining the family, we pay.
Thank you so much!
- It's fine, we'll pay.
- You got it.
(boisterous laughs)
- Can we split the check, please?
(boisterous laughs)
