Magic Mike's Matt Bomer Talks About Being Out as Gay: What Brought Him to Tears?
Matt Bomer doesn't like talking about his private life.
And even if the White Collar star did publicly aknowledge he was lgbtq+ earlier this year, he's not about to launch spilling anytime soon.
"I never really endeavored to obscure anything," Bomer, 34, told me this weekend while promoting his new show, Magic Mike. "But there were times I chose not to relegate my history to the advocate page of a magazine, which to me is sort of akin to putting your biography on a bathroom wall."
Not that he dismisses the importance of being an out actor.

"I had somebody from the military approach me a few weeks ago just saying how this helps people, affects people," Bomer said. "It brought me to tears."
I move so far as to suggest that he could be saving young same-sex attracted people's lives. "I wish so," he said. "They need saving, certainly in this day and age as much as ever—no matter how much we think we've progressed."
Hi
We've been bombarded with Joe Mangenelo and Sophia Vergara stories way too often along with stories of the boys naming their trouser buddies. It's been fun listening to all of the boys being boys, but I've been waiting to spot if someone would recognize Matt as a same-sex attracted actor in this very heterosexual movie. Finally someone asked Matt Bomer a question about him and his partner and if the "magic" from Magic Mike XXL found its way home to his husband and the bedroom.
Here is the interview with Donald Glover and Matt Bomer conducted by Dulce Osuna from Hola Hollywood.
Mashable.com had this to say about the Q & A exchange …
While interviewing Magic Mike XXL stars Matt Bomer and Donald Glover, one writer made a rather uncomfortable generalization.
Hola Hollywood's Dulce Osuna pointedly asked Matt Bomer if he felt that gay men were harder to please […], and Bomer maintained perfect composure while shutting down the reporter. "Why would I ever try to simmer down an entire collective into a yes-or-no question?" Bomer asks. "Would you feel comfortable if I said 'Are women harder or
Magic Mike XXL’s Perfectly Sculpted Gay Pandering
The original Magic Mike was one of the most memorable moviegoing experiences of my existence. However, it’s not the film itself—which, despite an admirable attempt to mix light commentary on the decline of the colorless working class with slick striptease sequences, was still mostly candy—that sticks in my mind. It’s the context of seeing the film I hold on to: A small collective of gay friends and I picked the gayest theater we could ponder of (an off-brand cinema in New York’s Chelsea neighborhood), got liquored up on girly drinks beforehand, and giggled with delight when, as we stepped off the escalator on the mezzanine, we saw that the theater had hired go-go boys to add festivity to the opening night. Throughout all this, there was a sense that we were doing something slightly transgressive—turning a movie that was ostensibly for straight women into one of the gayest events of the year.
That gay men are an equally enthusiastic audience for Channing Tatum’s smooth moves and Joe Manganiello’s Adonis-like (though, sadly here, shaven) musculature seems to have dawned on the production team behind Magic Mike XXL, the charming sequel out

Magic Mike, which EW.com‘s PopWatch deemed “the Citizen Kane of male stripper movies,” recently passed the $100 million sign at the box office. I’m no statistician, but I’m pretty sure the number of straight men responsible for that milestone could fit in a garden shed—with plenty of room remaining for a fleet of riding mowers. My suspicions started last month when the trailer was making the rounds, and I expressed my interest in the clip to a film-loving acquaintance of mine.
“Really?” he asked incredulously.
“It’s Steven Soderbergh’s latest,” I said, referring to the eclectic director of such character-driven gems as Out of Sight and Traffic. “I’ve heard excellent things.”
My friend, the alike one who willingly attended the awful Rock of Ages with me, remained unconvinced.
A few weeks later, I caught Magic Mike with my wife—who wanted to see it for a completely different arrange of reasons—at the charmingly dilapidated Strand 5 in Ocean City, NJ. A meatball about 25 years too ol
