Matt Bomer is “Da Man”

A reader posted a comment recently saying something about being sick of seeing Matt Bomer on this site.

To each his own but I don’t understand how anyone could get sick of someone who is not only ridiculously handsome and talented, but also thoughtful, articulate and involved in an array of interesting projects.

Anyway, Matt is on the cover of the magazine Da Man and it includes a really nice fashion spread as well as a good Q&A.

Bomer, who is raising three children with longtime partner Simon Halls, was asked how the heck he stays sane in Hollywood.

“Having a life outside of the business that grounds you. For me, it’s my family. They always come first, and always will. But it doesn’t have to be exclusive to family. There are lots of things that keep the business in perspective. We’re very blessed to be able to tell stories. It’s an essential way for humankind to understand itself: who we are, where we come from, where we could be going, what we’re capable of. But at the end of the day, if you’re not living a life outside of the business, you’re going to run out of things to bring to the table.”

Matt is best known for the hit TV series White Collar but he also made a feature film splash last summer in the box office smash Magic Mike. He’s got other films in the can and more ahead.

He tells Da Man: “I just finished a small part in a film called Winter’s Tale It’s a magical realism piece that centers around the love story between Colin Farrell and Jessica Brown Findlay. It also stars Jennifer Connelly, Russell Crowe, and Will Smith. Earlier this fall, I worked on a film called Space Station 76, with Liv Tyler and Patrick Wilson. When I put down the script, I thought ‘I’ve never read or seen anything like this before. It defies genre.’ And it also felt completely relatable and human. It’s like a humorous John Cheever short story set in a 1970’s version of outer space. It’s about a lot of people who are stuck in a life that they don’t want, and are trying their best to find a way out of it. ”
In April, I go back to season 5 of White Collar. And then I film The Normal Heart, which is about the early days of the AIDS epidemic in New York, and the people who were brave enough to risk their lives and careers to bring much needed attention to it. It’s a testament to passion and unconditional love.

33 Remarks

  1. Matt is amazing, such a rare combination of gorgeous, talented, smart, funny and in addition one of the nicest and fan friendliest actors out there.

  2. It was probably another jealous actor wishing he had Matt’s looks, talent and class! He sets the Hollywood standard now for everything good!

  3. I suspect your complainer is in the distinct minority. Most of us are glad to see this talented and extraordinarily kind and compassionate young man get as much press as possible.

  4. Matt is a very talented actor and a wonderful person who deserves all the success that comes his way!

  5. It’s the sad gay jealous gene. I see it all the time, especially on the popular gay blogs. Matt’s rare combination of qualities is tough for those who are insecure in their own lives. Couple that with the fact that he breaks that old sad gay stereotype mold most of us had to grew up with, doubly tough for the insecure. Just watched him play football again this year in the pre-superbowl event. He is so refreshing in so many ways. Glad there is a new kind of role model in town! Wish his type were around when I was young.

  6. I’m of the opinion that one can NEVER get too much of Matt Bomer. He is a rising star and he deserves all the positive press he can get. In addition to being drop-dead gorgeous, he is sexy, intelligent, caring, compassionate and most of all, HUMBLE. He’s a loving father and partner. He is not cocky or arrogant like so many of the Hollywood elite. It’s about time people take note of his acting abilities and of the many charitable organizations he supports. He is an inspiration to me and to all of the Bomer Babes who worship the ground he walks on. Keep up the good work, Greg!

    Matt Bomer … I can never get enough of this outrageously talented actor and human being! Not only does he entertain us with his unusual acting ability to express himself without saying a word, but makes time to give voice to those in need who for whatever reason cannot speak for themselves! He is truly a Renascence man! If you’ve ever been lucky to meet him as I have, you’d know what a caring, thoughtful person he is! He is very appreciative of his fans, and treats them with his charming,inimitable style that is uniquely MATT BOMER!

  8. Sounds like the green-eyed monster of envy has reared it’s ugly head. Pay no attention to that reader Greg, everyone adores Matt Bomer. They should take note & learn a lesson or two from Matt about grace & tolerance. Every comment made by others who know him well show him to be consistently humble, generous, intelligent, funny and a real down to earth fun loving guy.

  10. Well I’m one that believe in Matt bomer,

    I have to say that I am 100% supportive of MATT BOMER, whether he is Gay or Not…He’s a human being who is a role model for any boy or girl that is going through tough times in their lives..He’s extremely caring, and giving and lives life to the fullest..He doesn’t care how famous he becomes by doing a tv show, he just wants to do what he loves and that is acting and being a father,and husband to his family.. He stands out with his classy looks and style and is smooookin HOT.. He turns heads and doesn’t even know what he does to us women and men.. What a great all around MAN he is.. I’ll never get tired of seeing him on TV , movies, and pictures.. Love me some Matty!

    Matt Bomer is truly a Class Act in every sense of the word! I can never get enough of this beautiful, talented, extraordinary man! He sets an example that the rest of us can only hope to follow! I just can’t say enough good things about Matt that hasn’t already been said!

  13. Matt Bomer is an extremely talented actor and a beautiful person inside and out. He cares about his fans and we will support him all the way. No matter what the haters say we will never get tired of this man. Give us more Matty please!!!!

  14. Matt Bomer is a rare gem in Hollywood. Very professional, talented, classy, articulate, witty..I would run out of adjectives for this guy.
    He exudes such a great aura and good influence that fans of him (like me) just can’t get enough of him. You can really tell he’s brought up well, a wonderful example of a human being to emulate. I love the fact that his feet is very much grounded, such full of humility. Hope he stays the way he is even beyond the popularity he is gaining these days.

    There are some truly beautiful people out there, and Matt proves his isn’t just on the outside, bless him!

  16. Sick of Matt? Seriously? Then, stop coming here!

    I’m a Bomer Babe through and through. I became a fan because of his exceptional acting talent, his good heart and his courage to stand up for what he believes in. Having gorgeous looks is the bonus and frankly, I took pity on people who believe that he doesn’t deserve a space here. Who cares if he’s gay? I’d rather fantasize about him rather than worship straight actors with egos with their own zip codes.

  17. I am one of many people who think Matt Bomer is a wonderful actor who can fit into any role he is given he is a beautiful person with a beautiful sole he really cares & believes what he fights for, he really cares about his fans loves his family & he is gay so what, that should not make any difference he can play a romantic role very convincing i might add i think he should get the respect he deserves he is a gorgeous man, & i will always support him, i am a Bomerbabe and like many of us we will always love him <3

    Matt Bomer is definitely “DaMan”. No doubt he’s too perfect for the eyes! Maybe those who are getting sick of seeing him is just so jealous of him because he got the whole package. He is all a woman would die for. Name it, he got it. That’s Matt Bomer. And whatever happens, we will always support him till our very last breath.

  19. I absolutely LOVE Matt! He is so inspiring and an amazing actor and person I’ve ever read about! I hope to some day meet him to tell him how awesome he is and how he has touched so many lives by being himself! I love his family values and how he thanks them and spends what time he can with them. When he talks about his family he really lights up. He is a wonderful man! I hope to see him lots and lot of movies and shows!!! He’s so versital!!!

    Love you Matt!!

  20. The more Bomer the better. I hope he has a long and very successful career.

  21. Keep posting about Matt as often as you want. He is an exceptional person in so many ways.

  22. Greg, just keep the Matt Bomer articles and, especially, the photos coming. If there is such a thing as “the perfect man,” it is Matt.

  23. never too much of Matt Boi! Please keep posting Greg! I know another dude that does not think Matt is Da Man. I kick the snot out of him when he says it, I suspect he just likes to be beat!

    More Matt Bomer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  24. There can NEVER be enough of Matt Bomer! I adore him like no other. When I found out about him and began to research him, he became more than just a ‘pretty face’ to me. He is eloquently spoken, polite, always composed, professional, talented, non-judgemental, and no matter what obstacles arise, he forages ahead without a care in the world. He grabs life by the horns and tells you how it is. He is funny gorgeous and extremely talented and is the most humble of actors I have ever seen. I cannot find one single thing that I do not love about this man. He has changed my life (literally) for the better. He exudes happiness and joy, as well as confidence and has a zest for life. He is able to balance his family and career like no other and I believe he deserves more recognition than he has. He is a very versatile actor and I will read and watch anything that Matt Bomer is involved in. I love him THAT much! He is appreciated THAT much! Before he came along in my life, I had a dark cloud above me. Now that same cloud is lifting and Matt is responsible for that. I just wish he knew just how much he has postively affected people (as well as myself) and how many people he has brought together–I have met MANY lovely women because of this Beautiful man—he is simply a breath of fresh air in today’s society! We can all learn a thing or two from this man. I wish him nothing but the best–in whatever he chooses to do. I am 100% a Matt Bomer fan! Forever a Bomer fan!

  25. Matt Bomer is the ultimate role model, we should all use him as an example of how to view the world. He acts every parts he has with such enthusiasm and skill, he supports organizations and causes that we should all be supporting and he uses his own experiences to make life just a little easier for those who find it difficult to find a way forward.
    He cares so much about everyone and he approaches everything with a humbleness that we could all learn a little from.
    I admire that he has both feet firmly planted on the ground and manages to juggle a rising acting career and still be a family man.
    If one cannot see all the qualities this man has, then they are truly narrowminded because of his sexual orientation.
    Matt Bomer is a fantastic man and we should all be blessed that there are still famous people with the values he has.

  26. Matt is just as beautiful on the inside as he is on the outside. He should be what all of Hollywood strives to be, a truly caring, compassionate human being that thinks of others before himself, not to mention an incredible actor. It’s Matt I look for when I pick up a magazine or surf the net. This man is truly the whole package.

  27. We, Bomer followers, can never get enough of Matt Bomer. Period.
    But if someone is fed up of seing him on this website (or any other website for that matter), all they have to do is IGNORE it and move along to the next article… In the meantime, I cannot say I have had enough…gimme more! 😉

  28. It is such a shame that people can be so rude and ignorant.. it doesn’t matter what the person is.. but Matt is an amazing talented actor.. and from what he expresses you can tell he is also very humble,all we can do is ignore them and just fawn over this beautiful beautiful man! 😉

    I have never seen so much support behind an actor. Matt Bomer not only raises the bar, but is defining a new breed of celebrity role models. He will be talked about for centuries. I believe Matt has just begun in his journey to bring love and understanding to our world.

    If it weren’t for Matt, a lot of sites (like this one), shows, and magazines would have never been discovered. The Matt Pack and Bomer Babes support everything Matt Bomer is involved with :o)

  31. Wow!I thought I was the only one. Nice to see my sentiments about Matt echoed by so many. I’ve never been in awe of a celebrity until Matt Bomer. He is such a unique combination of such distinct qualities. Other worldly beauty with a boy next door attitude. Articulate, wise, and intelligent, yet boyish and witty. No wonder everyone who discovers him is in awe.I’m just glad we get to share his awesomeness through his work. I’m sure with his talent he has a shining career ahead.

  32. I think people mostly adore Matt cos of his looks, they don’t really know his personality, quite frankly! And it’s always pleasant to look at good looking people as they look refreshing. He is a public man now and he knows exactly what he is doing. If he is nice, he will be liked by everyone. I’m a fan of Matt’s because of his looks and charm mostly and yes he is good in White Collar but yet again he is just a rising star and has a long career ahead. Don’t really care if he is gay or not, purely his choice. Think it’s kind of fashionable to be gay these days, isn’t it? Reckon Simon is helping with his BF image in the media which is normal. Matt seems humble and not arrogant which is a beautiful quality and makes him likeable. Would every women date Matt? Hmmm not sure about that, let’s not generalise but certainly many would. The fact that he is gay or straight doesn’t make much difference, not that he is available either way anyway. What we can all learn from Matt though is that being nice, kind and charming pays off, hence something we should all aspire for. Overall, Matt seems lovely, so def best of luck to him!
