Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia Reveal Something Really Shocking About One of the Queer Eye OGs
The longtime Get a Room besties and designers catch us up on the original Fab Five today.
Carson Kressley and Thom Filicia have been BFFs for years... and years... and years. They met at the gym back in the day — and the rest, as they say, is history (well, more like TV history). After initially bonding over squats and bench presses, together they eventually became members of the ultra-stylish Queer Eye for the Straight Guy Fab Five OG crew when the series launched in 2003. And 15 years after changing lives on the series, they are back together again on Bravo with their home design show, Get a Room with Carson & Thom.
"We're home. Get used to us," Carson joked to The Daily Dish recently. "We're back," Thom added, with equal enthusiasm.
But that doesn't mean they have forgotten about their old pals: Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, and Jai Rodriguez. In fact, they're as tight with them as ever, as they shared in the video above when they recently stopped by Bravo HQ. And during that laughter-inducing sit-down, they revealed something shocking about one of the fellas. You'll just have to press play on the video above to find out what it is. (BTW if shocking isn't your thing, it's worth the watch just to catch them nearly make out, if you ask us.)
Looking for more Queer Eye scoop? Well, back in early 2017, Carson elaborated a bit more about his enduring bond with the Fab Five. "Actually we've just all been talking recently," he told The Daily Dish at the time. "Ted lives in New York; Thom lives in New York; I live in New York. Kyan lives in Tennessee — that's a little random. Jai lives in L.A. So I get to see almost all of them all the time."
Clearly, once a member of this crew, always a member of this crew. Below, Carson opens up a bit more about his Queer Eye experience.
