Tan France feels 'anxious' ahead of acting debut
TV star Tan France has confessed to feeling "anxious" about his acting debut.
Tan France feels "really anxious" about his 'Queer Eye' co-stars watching his acting debut.
The 41-year-old star is best-known for appearing on the hit TV series alongside Jonathan Van Ness, Karamo Brown, Antoni Porowski and Jeremiah Brent - but Tan recently made his acting debut in the Hulu comedy series 'Deli Boys', and he's admitted to feeling nervous about them watching him.
He told PEOPLE: "I can't wait for them to see it. I'm really anxious about it. I'm so nervous.
"Of all the people to watch it, I'm most nervous for them to watch it."
Tan admitted to feeling "vulnerable" on camera, too.
He shared: "They know me, like, they know they know me inside out.
"They know me in a way my husband doesn't know me. Like, they see how I am on camera. They've watched almost every scene I've ever done on camera, when it comes to 'Queer Eye'.
"So, I'm nervous that they're gonna see a different side of me, which is obviously what I want, is what I want the audience to see, but it's a very, very vulnerable position to put yourself in. To show a different side of yourself."
Tan plays British cousin Zubair in the sixth episode of the show. However, the fashion designer - who was born in Doncaster, in northern England - was required to change his accent for the role.
He explained: "On this show, I'm not just acting. I'm doing a character actor’s job.
"My voice is not the same, my accent's a completely different accent to my accent. It's British, but it's a very London accent, that's not my accent at all.
"I'm walking in a very different way. It's a very violent character, so I'm doing stunts. Everything about it is so intimidating for me to have my castmates see."
