Is it just me or does his accent seem a bit stronger when he's in the UK? Sounds cool!

[@ellagrace810]

Ambroos Vaes similar to Tan, I grew up in the UK and then moved to the US. My accent is so minimal when I’m in the US but going home makes it almost as strong as it was when I lived there full time

[@worrywirt]

Yeah I noticed that too! It’s probably a subconscious thing, to fit in

[@katie-eb2zg]

he sounds more american/australian to me haha

[@MariaH-qe2yn]

He has said that he tones it down in the US because he has a hard time being understood with a strong UK accent.

[@SuperYoshiInvasion]

I think when people with accents are around people with their same accent it becomes stronger. I follow someone who's Australian and by just listening to him speak you wouldn't know but one time his mom phoned him when he was on a livestream and after a minute or two he was talking with a pretty strong Australian accent

[@patchworkdragon2588]

Amazing - I live in Manchester and it’s so special to see Tan talk so warmly about our city. It is the best place on Earth. Loved seeing him walk around the Village. I would love to see all the QE boys do a mini series in the UK 😊

[@Queenfairypants]

Thanks so much for this Netflix! When I first started watching Queer Eye I didn’t notice that Tan was Asian or that he was gay I noticed that he was NORTHERN! 😂 x

[@a.a.6655]

Tan! Thank you for being British and Pakistani and awesome and representing us so wonderfully. Also: thank you for showing the world that British Pakistani masculinity doesn't have to be something toxic and problematic.

[@allem808]

I love Tan because he keeps it real and hasn't forgotten where he comes from 💛

[@buumbaby]

Tan talking about the good vibes a summer brings to britons is so true, i looked out my window and i realised i could see the rolling hills in the distance because its a lovely day and i now i just want to get out and go on a hike

Tan just seems like the most genuine, kindest, sassiest and honest guy ever. To be friends with him must be such a privilege!

[@wataru7709]

I totally agree that you feel the best when it is sunny in the UK. So beautiful and energetic.

[@MM-dq2pi]

I'm Aussie and went to live in Glasgow. It was so weird, the first proper sunny day when it got to mid-Spring and people were sunbathing in the Botanical Gardens, queuing down the street for an icecream lol. Friends I had made turned up orange over night covered in fake tan. It was so strange haha.

[@momokola6411]

Big shout out to Tan who stepped into a space he didn't particularly care for to signal boost for the Asian population!! Hello visibility, who gave you permission?!!

[@tarren452]

How am I only just seeing this now 😯 Tan is SUCH a wonderful rep for the UK and his love for Manchester makes me so happy, I grew up near there and spent so many happy afternoons in Afflecks and on those same streets with my best friend! It's a city that holds such a special place in my heart ❤

[@IndieGirl10100]

He's right! I think the last time I saw South Asian British representation was when Bend it Like Bekham came out over 10 years ago. WE NEED MORE! Thank you Tan ❤

[@lolitaguevara86]

Tan my love, you represent the UK so well on the show ❤️ all the more for dispelling the myth that we’re all white and southern. I don’t know what I would have done if I was in Affleck’s and just saw him wandering around 😱

[@user-dr9qu7qt9o]

As a teenager, from the middle of nowhere northern England, going to Manchester regularly and visiting Affleck's Palace - such a revelation - first time - 1984 - ooh that dates me a bit lol...and can't believe it was only it's second year open... Tan you're such a hero ...

[@ellenwright5901]

As a manc I love the passion that he talks about my city with. People don’t come to Manchester enough, it’s an amazing and interesting place, and I can see how much he gets it.

As someone British born but lived majority of my life in Canada (damn parents) I get how you feel about being back home in the UK. It’s the best place on earth in my opinion. The sea, country and city are so close. Love it and miss it everyday. Even the rain makes me happy when I’m there. There is a certain smell when it rains that you don’t get in Canada. Fish and Chips is a staple when I’m home. Crap in Canada amazing in Newcastle. Proud to be British !

Mathew Vo right, but he said nandos and the name of the takeaway and clothes shop

[@jpblack2148]

Because Greggs is like Voldemort to the gays. Carbs who must not be named

[@annabelvb]

I’m guessing because they didn’t film at Greggs, therefore didn’t get permission. Everywhere else he mentioned, they were filming there.
