Netflix Is Making A Rom-Com Based On 'Queer Eye' Star Antoni Porowski

Create & Cultivate Los Angeles

Antoni Porowski has inspired a brand new Netflix film.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix is preparing to make a romantic comedy loosely based on the Queer Eye star’s dating experiences as a sexually fluid man. The movie, titled Girls & Boys, will be helmed by Black-ish creator Kenya Barris, with the screenplay written by Plus One filmmakers Andrew Rhymer and Jeff Chan.

While little has yet been revealed about the upcoming film, admirers of Queer Eye’s resident food and wine expert will be excited to learn more about the star’s romantic life.

Porowski — who doesn’t mind being called “fluid” and “queer” rather than “gay” — has previously opened up about his relationship experiences with both men and women. He lightly touched on his preference to live without such labels during an interview with GQ last October.

“I don’t really know and I kind of like not knowing,” he said of his sexuality at the time, revealing he’s been in more relationships with women, though has dated men for several years of his life. “I feel like if I do refer to myself as gay, which would make it easier for people to understand sometimes, I feel like it [dishonors] women that I've been in love with.”

Despite so many viewers admiring Porowski as a “Daddy,” the star has been quite taken aback by his “sex symbol” status.

“I did not think that I was going to be objectified as a 34-year-old male, that usually happens for guys in their twenties,” he joked in the same interview. “I think it's a reminder to enjoy myself in the process because I take myself really seriously.”
