For all of the speak in regards to the glam lives that celebrities lead, twin brothers and HGTV hosts Drew and Jonathan Scott have a very completely different perspective.
They’ve seen Heidi Klum, Jay Leno, Glenn Shut, siblings Derek and Julianne Hough and extra get down and soiled throughout residence renovations. All of these celebs, plus Kristin Chenoweth, Emma Roberts, Taraji P. Henson and Kristin Davis, are a part of the brand new season of their Superstar IOU, through which the rework consultants assist stars remodel an area for a cherished one.
“I really like that Heidi and all of the completely different celebrities, they wish to get arms on,” Drew tells Yahoo Leisure. “They do not wish to simply say, ‘Go do that for me to present again to someone.’ They wish to bodily get hands-on.”
Notably, Leno did it at what turned out to be fairly an inconvenient time for him, following extreme accidents in November and January.
“He had a few points that had occurred,” Jonathan explains. “He had burned his face in an accident, after which he had a motorbike accident and he broke his collarbone, his ribs and he busted his knee. He was in with us that very same week that he had the accident, with all these damaged components, and he did not wish to decelerate as a result of the household he was giving again to, they had been about to have a child in a matter of weeks, and he wished to get this executed. No ache killers, no complaints.”
Drew provides, “I can not wrap my mind round how all the way down to earth and simply hard-working Jay Leno is. He is rather like a salt-of the-earth kinda man. He is unimaginable.”
Within the season premiere, it is Klum who impresses throughout the overhaul of the residence of Lucia, her housekeeper of 17 years. The mannequin’s current all through, even hammering and stepping onto the property’s roof.
“Heidi is a pressure,” Drew says. “What I do not suppose folks actually understand is, she does not have a complete staff of individuals round… She needs to do it herself. She needs to do it proper. So each undertaking we gave her as nicely, she would discover out the right solution to do it, return to it… discuss German effectivity. She wished to be sure that she was good. And she or he knocked it out of the park.”
Jonathan agrees.
“She all the time has this enjoyable power on any of her exhibits, all the pieces she does. However image her wielding a sledge hammer with that power,” he says. “It was virtually like a baby, while you see a child that has that surprise and that dreamy look to them, that was her on a regular basis, and he or she’s up on the roof of the home fixing some patching on the roof. She was smashing up this outdated kitchen.”
Considerably surprisingly, eight-time Oscar nominee Shut additionally was fast to roll up her sleeves.
“One second, let me simply pull out my bucket record,” Drew says. “Test, verify! Did not even know that was on my bucket record. Who would suppose that you just’re gonna get to work with an icon like Glenn Shut? And never simply that, I did not know loads about her private life. You understand, she lives on a ranch… does a whole lot of tending to the property and animals herself. She will get on web site, and he or she’s like, ‘Outta my method.’ Jumps on the excavator, smashes this shed down and he or she’s laughing. It was so humorous… I believe we’re gonna break the web with this footage.”
Jonathan swears that Shut was so completely satisfied, she may make a profession change.
“Our apologies to Hollywood if she offers up on being the very best actress on this planet as a result of she needs to start out doing what we do,” he says. “She cherished demolition. It may be addictive while you begin to smash issues. She was filming in Paris, and he or she was flying again to be part of this, over in Maine, on the East Coast. She’s giving again to the girl who runs her charity, and so I believed that was fairly wonderful, too. To see that type of a dedication.”
The Property Brothers stars, who’ve renovated greater than 630 properties on their varied exhibits, in all probability had essentially the most enjoyable all season once they labored with one other set of siblings: Derek and Julianne Hough.
“They had been joking about how everybody thinks they’re twins however they don’t seem to be,” Drew says. “However you’d suppose they’re twins, as a result of they end one another’s sentences. They each, they do not simply speak. They categorical each phrase with their physique… The best way they’re collectively, and the way in which we’re collectively, you kinda see that sibling dynamic… it was a lot enjoyable. I do not suppose I’ve laughed that a lot throughout demolition and development in so lengthy, nevertheless it was enjoyable. And there have been so many dance competitions.”
Anyone who’s seen Superstar IOU is aware of that it is about far more than the drywall, regardless of who’s overseeing the development. The present is de facto about relationships and exhibiting gratitude.
Jonathan notes that it offers the viewers an opportunity to see “the human facet” of individuals like Leno.
“For me, that is essentially the most attention-grabbing half,” he says. “Attending to see the celebrities in a distinct gentle, in a distinct setting. You actually see, I believe, their true self, versus, you already know, usually you are doing interviews and also you’re on a purple carpet and also you’re simply kinda seeing that being on. I prefer it seeing folks once they’re not on.”
The season premiere of Superstar IOU airs Monday, Might 15 at 8 p.m. on HGTV.
