Why do someoneā€™s hair or change their outfit when you can literally gut a house and rebuild it from the ground up? Bobby Berk is the interior design expert on Netflixā€™s original reality series, Queer Eye. There, he helps transform the living spaces of local heroes to be more functional and a little more stylish.

Bobby Berk also helps inspire these local heroes, sharing his story as an adopted child who grew up in a religious household. The celebrity often discusses this during interviews, including one with Oprah Magazine.

ā€œGrowing up, I went to church every day and was told that gays were an abomination and bad,ā€ Berk said. ā€œThe first group of LGBTQ people to embrace me, at 16, was the drag community. There was a little bar called Marthaā€™s Vineyard and at one point I was doing drag. This was before cellphones. Thatā€™s where I found the most acceptance and love. I eventually moved around a lot, but Iā€™m lucky to have found my chosen familyā€”and a lot of allies.ā€
