If you haven’t heard of food king Antoni Porowski, interior designer Bobby Berk, grooming consultant Jonathan Van Ness, fashion designer Tan France and culture expert Karamo Brown then, well, get ready for the dreamiest introductions of all time.
We thought that Prince Harry held all the cards when it came to being charming.
But the boys, who make up the Fab Five on Netflix’s original series Queer Eye, seem to have kicked Prince Harry off his throne.
Promoting the second season of the show, the boys came straight to us, Down Under.
And they really couldn’t be more excited for Australia to see the latest season of Queer Eye, out on June 15.
But for one member of the group it was a little more than a promotional tour. The Fab Five’s resident fix-it-man Bobby admitted that Australia held a very special place in his heart.
“I’ve never been here before but this is one of the places I always wanted to go. My favourite toy as a child was my koala bear,” he told us, adding it meant a lot that he was finally here.
Meeting the boys in real life – it was very clear the feeling was mutual.
WATCH our full interview with the Queer Eye guys above!
The Queer Eye boys brought their signature style, and cheeky fun to Australia.
What can we expect this season?
Fans across the globe just want to ugly cry, like we did from the very first episode with Tom, the lovable short-wear ‘redneck’, on a mission to win back is girl, Abbey.
And the boys assure us that there are MANY opportunities for us to sob into our ice cream.
“When you meet these people who’ve been broken down by life and when they get the courage to say ‘Enough is enough,’ you just fall in love with them,” Karamo dished.
But it’s not all tears, with the culture guru sharing, “There are some who are like ‘I’m young and ready to have some fun!'”
Our favourite henny, Jonathan, didn’t want his colleague sharing too much, telling us, “I think patience is a virtue and June 15 is right around the corner.”
Grab the tissues and watch the Queer Eye Season 2 trailer for a taste of what’s to come!
Do the Fab Five have an ideal Aussie celeb crush?
A universal shout out to Chris Hemsworth.
The boys were basically tripping over themselves, professing their devotion… Except for one.
Tan had the entire room in giggles when he shouted, “Jason Donovan!”
Making us do the locomotion, we were shocked to discover he was a secret Neighbours fan.
Quick to correct us, he said, “OMG massive! Not secret, I LOVE Neighbours.”
Who else is spinning around!?
They fit right in on Sydney harbour!
Jonathan’s dream makeover has us CACKLING
Serving us shade in its realest form, Jonathan took a moment send a clear message to one Margaret Court.
“You know who really needs a makeover inside and out? Though she doesn’t really deserve our time… That Margaret Court.”
Channelling his inner Serena, he went Grand Slam fierce, telling us, “She truly needs an inside out makeover. I hope you’re watching Margaret, henny!”
“Sorry your little hate campaign didn’t work and marriage equality is here.”
Going in for the final win he added, “She was a great tennis player but she’s got a black heart.”
WATCH THE FULL INTERVIEW BELOW:
Shag|Marry|Kill
Who hasn’t played Shag, Marry and Kill?
We thought it was a harmless game, where you pick who you’d shag, marry or kill.
We were wrong.
Clearly touching a nerve (x 5) – the boys had a breakdown of epic proportions.
Karamo admitted that he made them play the game “the second we got together”.
“It almost tore us apart!”
With Jonathan chiming, “Thanks for bring this up!”
You really need to watch them all scream at the memory.
Are these Aussie fellas banging, or in need of a makeover?
We pulled together five huge Aussie names and asked the boys if they thought they were banging or if they needed a makeover.
Barnaby Joyce
“No not banging.”
Jonathan: “Are you going on a safari or are you going to a gala?”
Antoni thinks it’s “two different stories going on.”
Given Baranby’s ongoing life saga ahem Vikki – that’s something we can all vouch for.
Tan seemed to like the hat and the whip… Just not together.
Karl Stefanovic
“He looks phenomenal!”
The boys were very much team Karl up until they saw this Instagram shot…
Jonathan: “Don’t ever take a picture with sunglasses and a drink.”
“It lacks a little class.”
Now we know who won’t be waking up with Today.
Keith Urban
“He’s a treasure!”
The boys are HUGE Keith fans.
Jonathan shared the cutest story about seeing him and Nicole on the red carpet.
And no little lie, what he saw was pure love! Watch the entire moment in the video above
The Honey Badger
“Wow!”
While they all thought Honey was “gorg!” – There were some issues with his styling.
Tan even went as far to say that a guy like Honey would never make the cut as an American Bachie… Ouch!
Queer Eye Season 2 will be available to watch on Netflix, June 15.
