Queer Eye star reacts to surreal German version on Netflix
"So we can really dissect what it is to be a queer person, and many versions of it that are multifaceted. Whereas the German version – I think there's only five episodes.
"But a lot of the criticism that we get from the queer community is that us five don't represent the millions of queers all across the world. And I'm like, 'Yeah, duh. There's five of us.' We can't possibly represent everyone. So we try to do that with our heroes. "And with the German version, they've given us even more queer representation, and I think it's beautiful. I'm really impressed by them. I think they're so sweet."Tan also admitted that it was"really weird" watching the German version as it's so similar to the main show, stating:"I didn't know what to expect.
"I thought they would switch it up a little bit but even the way they read off the card made me giggle, thinking, 'The way you guys are doing it is so like us.' Which I think is lovely. I loved it." He added:"I can imagine that our version was weird for the original [2003 version Fab Five] and those guys on that show, I'm sure they found it so weird watching us. And I find it equally watching the German crew. But I think that they're wonderful."
