Out Magazine - Matt Bomer

[angelita26]

The Out magazine article is up on their website along with new photos. I haven't had a chance to read the article yet, but I will update this post if there needs to be any warnings.

ETA: No warnings necessary, but I will share these bits of the interview:

That test — of what, exactly, Hollywood wants to offer a chiseled-jawed, classically trained, out gay actor — is rapidly approaching. White Collar ends this fall. “It will be a tough hat to hang up,” Bomer says, but it will also free him from a New York commute that made him feel at times “like a hamster on a wheel.”

It will certainly be hard to watch him hang that hat too. :'(

And he’d like to get back to writing a book “that’s been festering for a while.”

A book?! I need more details, Out. Like what kind and a synopsis, please. Also, he co-wrote a pilot several years ago called Nashville that I have not been able to track down, but he does have some writing chops. I'm curious to see what the book is about... and if he'll do the audiobook version himself.

There are a lot of other quotable parts about his marriage to Simon, being a father, growing up in Spring, coming out during drama school, and many more. It's definitely a great article.

Wonderful article with honest words about Matt feeling "like a hamster on a wheel" when he is commuting from NYC to LA every weekend during White Collar filming.

But I hope we are going to see him on a show again, he is just too great an actor to just write a book. White Collar must not be his one and only leading role on a show. Hopefully there is a producer who has a new show coming up and Matt and Tim are his favorite men for the leading roles. Well, a girl can dream, right? *goes hiding and crying hot tears about probably never seeing Tim and Matt play on a show together again*

I hope we see him on a show again soon too. He's always said good things about working on WC, and I think he likes cable TV. As much as I want to see him on the big screen, I will always selfishly want to see him on a serial drama as well. Or a comedy. I'd watch him read the phone book if any network was willing to air that.

*HUGS*

Nice article--and pictures! Thanks for linking. I love the one where he's looking sad in capris.

No problem! I like to share the Matty wealth of words and gorgeous face/body/everything. LOL (I totally mis-typed body as booty just then)

Great article, thanks so much for posting. I wondered how his family felt about his coming out, and I really loved what he had to say about being a father. He's just such an amazing, talented and grounded man who deserves all the best.

You're welcome. I had wondered about his family too. I'm glad that they're supportive now - it must have been really hard for him to come out to them.

I love when he talks about being a father. Those boys are so, so lucky to have Matt as a dad, and I'm happy that they get to grow up with him and Simon as these wonderful guiding forces that they seem to be.

WOW!!! More Amazing Pics!!!! How am I supposed to get any work done this afternoon when I keep coming across posts about Matt?

Thanks for the lovely distraction. : )

Yeah, I haven't gotten much work done today at all! Too much of Matt looking so hot that I can't take my eyes off him. Guh. So hot.

You're so welcome!

I don't know what I would do without your very helpful posts.

You are the bestest!

And, this article and the pics, guh! I love this man more every day!

I keep thinking I can't possibly love him any more, and then the next article comes out! Seriously?

I know, right? The lead up to TNH is going to kill me dead. But if I somehow survive, the movie will surely finish me off.

Me too! :D
