Antoni Porowski’s Hot Boy Summer just got a lot more interesting. Fresh off wrapping production on the final season of Queer Eye last week, the 41-year-old food expert celebrated by ditching his cast mates and jetting off to the beaches of Ibiza and Formentera on Spain’s Balearic Islands.

The Bismarck, Antoni told one follower in April 2024, is “hard not to love” — adding he feels the same way about two American ships: the U.S.S. Texas, which fought the Nazis, and the New Jersey, which was stationed in the Pacific theater during World War II but later participated in U.S. operations in the Lebanese Civil War.

The artwork depicting a German battleship called the Bismarck was visible in two interviews with Antoni in 2023 and 2024.

Trump has selected E.J. Antoni, chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, to be the next commissioner at the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. Antoni’s nomination was quickly met with a cascade of criticism from other economists, from across the political spectrum.
