-
in Austin, Texas, right?
Right now, right now at this very moment?
- Have you been to Austin, Texas?
- I believe for a short period of time, yes.
- It's beautiful. It really is lovely.
Believe the hype.
It actually is wonderful. - Okay.
I've always wondered this about the "Queer Eye" guys.
'Cause I'm like, you must have a group chat
where you're talking crap, conversations are popping,
the tea is being spilled, all that stuff.
Be real with me, Tan, who's the funniest in the group chat?
Is it you?
- I so wish it was. You know, people would think
that Jonathan's the funniest on the group chat.
It's actually Antoni. Antoni is gross.
Antoni can say the most disgusting thing
within two or three words, and during an interview,
you're laughing so hard or during a scene
because this idiot said something so stupid.
And then, Karamo is the least likely to reply.
He will do the, you know, the double tap
where you can like heart to it or laugh or whatever.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah. - He'll do that.
- So, Tan, let me ask you this.
We went from quarantine where we were like,
for the most part, doing nothing,
sitting on the sofa.
You got back into shooting,
which is like a schedule that's hectic.
How are you dealing with the transition?
- Okay, it's been four weeks. I can't keep up.
Legit, I am not a very emotional person.
I'm the least emotional of the cast.
I had a little cry today. - Really?
- For the last year and a half, I've been in my own home
and doing everything from my own home.
So it's manageable, but now getting stuck in traffic,
I'm late for everything, and my schedule is just so packed.
It's-it's-it's really hard getting back into real life.
And to think that I'm gonna have to throw a baby
into the mix soon as well,
I don't know how I'm gonna do it all.
I don't know how we lived life like this beforehand.
- I completely--I don't know--you know
what I don't know? I don't know how I lived here
and I was like, "Oh, you need me to do
a one-day trip to New York.
Sure. Let me do that.
And let me come back and do meetings.
And even--"I don't know how I did that.
- If it wasn't for my Starbucks premium instant,
I probably wouldn't be able to manage it.
Because normally, I take so much time
making my coffee in the morning and getting ready.
I don't have the luxury anymore.
I don't know if you've noticed but life
has gotten so much busier after COVID.
- Yes. - It seems much harder.
And so yeah, having that little Starbucks moment in the morning
just powers me through, and when I say in the morning,
I mean probably seven times a day.
- [laughs] We love the honesty.
Like a true brown person.
I want to ask you about something very controversial.
A lot of people at home are gonna really feel
strongly about this.
There's been talk, if you've heard,
of Gen Z making a lot of really grand statements
when it comes to fashion and style.
And I've been waiting to talk to you,
because in my opinion you are the authority on such matters.
The authority, okay?
So I want to ask you specifically about Gen Z
canceling our beloved skinny jeans.
Tan, what is your official stance on this?
- Ooh, there's so much I've got to say to Gen Z.
I will say this.
You--I'm not gonna ask how old you are,
but I'm assuming you're in your 30s at this point.
- Yes. I am a proud 32-year-old.
- Great. Okay, I'm a few years older.
I'm now 38. - Okay.
- My opinion is this. I know that they're all saying
that you should be wearing boot cut
or a wide fit jean.
If you have already lived through that,
you've learnt from that mistake
and you know how jacked that looks.
Like, you know that that's a mistake.
And so anyone over 30-something, actually,
uh-uh, we know better.
And I'm watching Gen Z, thinking,
"Oh, you'll learn."
- [laughing] - Within five years,
you're gonna look back thinking,
"I should have listened to my elders."
- You're absolutely correct. We've lived through the cycle.
We know. - Yeah.
However, do I really want to be in a skinny jean?
No, but I do love, like, a slim jean.
- Me too. - Or a straight cut.
- And some skinny jeans are too skinny.
I will say, they're too skinny sometimes.
- I mean, you know and when you've been to the UK,
those Brit boys, believe me,
they are spraying those jeans, like, it's no way.
- I'm like, "I can see your veins through your jeans."
Like it's you know what I mean? Like it's just--it's, it's--
- Yeah. It's not cute.
- If those skinny jeans were on this show,
we would have to blur it out, some areas.
Like that's what I'm talking about, you know what I mean?
- Absolutely.
- We're on at 1:30 but NBC's not trying to be that crazy.
Tan, thank you so much for taking the time.
I know you're so busy while shooting.
I appreciate it so much.
I cannot wait to watch Bollywood movies
with your son. I truly cannot.
- Thanks, my love, I can't wait for you to meet my son.
I just want you to hold him and love him.
- Me, too. Can you do me this one favor?
That when you introduce me to your son,
can you tell your son that I'm Madhuri Dixit?
- Yes! - Okay. Amazing, yes!
Thank you so much for being here.
For everyone watching at home, make sure you follow everything
Tan does, he's incredible. Thank you.
- Thank you.
