What may surprise fans, however, is that he nearly said no to auditioning for the successful series.
“But then I got a call to come back to the final day of auditions.”
A few weeks later, Berk heard that he had booked the job.
Did the Fab Five have a falling out?
Did Netflix not want him back?
How in the world can we carry on without the iconic interior designer?
Well, almost all of it.
“It was something personal that had been brewing and nothing romantic, just to clarify that.”
Berk continued on to say that the two of them had a friendship that felt like they were brothers.
That includes the fighting, which caused their friendship to collapse.
“The Emmys was already the first bandage on that wound.”
“We thought we were done,” Bobby Berk explained to Vanity Fair.
“Mentally and emotionally, I thought we all moved on.
I know I did, and I started planning other things.”
With the new plans that Berk had in place, he said no to a new contract.
The four others said the same considering the show couldn’t go on without Berk.
Netflix seemed to have other plans.
“We had mentally just prepared ourselves to move on that’s why I left.”
However, creating such an inspiring series has been difficult for other reasons.
The show, which introduced the world to five accomplished queer men, was the first of its kind.
“That takes a lot out of you, to revisit those again in front of the world.”
His ultimate vision is to open up the interior design industry to others who deserve the spotlight.
“It’s my era of building and developing.”
In 2021, he co-founded a spa in San Diego and Los Angeles named Mellow Massage.
“All with spaces carefully curated and individually designed.”
It’s since expanded to four locations.
Berk’s vision hasn’t stopped at his spas either.
He has also designed two villas that the public can rent out and retreat to.
And I did!"
The interior designer has been seen on “The Rachel Zoe Project” and “Home Made Simple.”
“[He’s] gonna be amazing,” Berk shared withPeople.
Now, Brent is excited to transform heroes' lives as the newest member of the Fab Five.
“I love those boys.
I’m friends with them,” Brent toldPeople.
“And I’ve got a lot of respect for what the show does and what it represents.”
