Queer Eye’s Tan France: I Once Contemplated Suicide During Depression

A dark time. Queer Eye star Tan France admitted in his upcoming memoir, Naturally Tan, that he once contemplated suicide.

Stars Who Have Bared Their Souls About Their Struggles

“The truth is, I was starting to feel depressed, which I had never felt before,” read an excerpt of the book obtained by Radar Online. “I had been blue, but this was different.”

He continued: “For a month, all I wanted was to end it.”

The fashion guru, 36, who was living in Utah at the time, said he even had a moment in which he might have followed through on his destructive thoughts had it not been for husband Rob France.

Celebrities Who Have Battled Mental Health Issues

In a desperate phone call to his spouse of more than 10 years, Tan recalled saying, “I want to drive off this bridge, and I need you to talk me out of it.”

The Netflix star admitted that pressures he put on himself to succeed played a role in his mindset; Tan was working three jobs at the time.

Tan’s costar Karamo Brown has also admitted to having thoughts of suicide in the past. “Hey friends… today in 2006 I did attempt to commit suicide,” he said in an August 2018 Instagram video. “You know, I was in a very dark place. I just felt like life could not get any better, everything that was happening to me was never going to change and I tried to take my own life. And if it wasn’t for my best friends Raymond and Tre calling the ambulance, getting me off the couch, I probably would not be here today.”

Celebrity Health Scares

After discussing the prevalence of mental health struggles, Brown, 38, encouraged his followers to take heart. “I want you to know that things do get better,” he shared. “If you get help and you do the work daily, your life can change. I’m living proof of that. And if you know someone in your life who’s going through it, reach out to them. You could be their support.”

Naturally Tan hits bookstores on Tuesday, June 4.

Aly Raisman: A Day in My Life

Aly Raisman ’s life has looked quite different since she officially hung up her leotard and retired from gymnastics in 2020. But even though she’s not spending as much time at the gym, the former gymnast, 26, still makes it a point to live a healthy lifestyle. On a typical day in her life, Raisman will do a Pilates session to maintain her svelte physique. After years of intense training, the three-time Olympic gold medalist found that the method — which involves low-impact flexibility and muscular strength and endurance movements — not only benefited her body, but her mind too. “When I have a good workout, I feel more calm and I feel more connected to my body,” she told Women’s Health in January. “That is a very different answer that I would have given you a couple of years ago. If I were training, I would have probably said a good workout to me is when I push myself as much as I can … I think I pushed myself enough for most of my life. So, now I just want to leave the gym feelin...
