Antoni Porowski got real with fans after Queer Eye picked up its 7th Creative Arts Emmy for Outstanding Structured Reality Program. While celebrating the win for Season 9, Antoni admitted his journey to the Fab Five spotlight wasn’t always glitter and guacamole. The Netflix star reflected on his early struggles in New York, working restaurant gigs and doubting himself before being cast in the 2017 reboot.
Sharing a throwback moment, Antoni revealed the advice that carried him through: “If someone’s gonna get the part, why not you?” His vulnerable post struck a chord with fans—and boyfriend Zacharias Niedzwiecki, who dropped a swoony “sooo f*cking proud” in the comments.
