You might ask yourself, “How it is possible that Matt Bomer without any fuss around him, became one of the biggest stars in Hollywood?” Well, you’re not alone. Matt Bomer has been off the radar for a while, but now, suddenly, he’s everywhere. From rejecting Barbie to acting in a sitcom that resembles Golden Girls, the actor has finally seen his efforts bear fruit.
From Almost Superman to Mid-Century Modern Hero
In early 2000 the new Superman movie’s offers were numerous, still, Matt Bomer was considered the top option. There has never been a moment when an actor could say that he was all set to be cast as Superman, except for the case when Matt Bomer was said to be. The director was eager to work with him, and the fans were over the moon. However, the movie fell through before it could start. There were rumors somewhere down the line that Bomer was rejected just because of his sexuality. Bomer has clarified the rumor just recently that none of that was right. It was just fated to be.
He handled the situation with grace and dignity. Matt Bomer came out to a gossip magazine before he was ready to tell anyone about it. He had spoken on a podcast very recently in which he had confessed that his private life had been the subject of discussions on rumour blogs without his permission. Having his privacy exposed was not only painful but also potentially career-ending. His statement was, “It was taken from me.” That moment has influenced profoundly the way he conducted himself in Hollywood — cautiously, but with an indomitable spirit.

In a recent interview, he disclosed the real reason why he refused to take on one of the Kens. Rarely do people hear an actor turning down a role in a blockbuster film, worth more than a billion dollars, just like Barbie. However, it happened to Matt Bomer — and he is proud of it.
“I wanted to focus on my family,” he said. During that period, Bomer was busy shooting Maestro with Bradley Cooper while also attending to his kids. He felt overwhelmed. Giving a positive answer to Barbie had taken him away from his family, and he couldn’t have that experience.

Mid-Century Modern: The Show That Finally Feels Like Home
Bomer has dropped his latest show, Mid-Century Modern, on Hulu,

Bomer plays alongside Nathan Lane and Nathan Lee Graham. The project is not only hilarious but also the most authentic and queer one can imagine. As a matter of fact, Bomer is obsessed with this idea.
“This show is medicine,” he said confidently in an interview. “It’s not just about joy but also about the bond among the members of the community, which results in building laughter from within.”
One of the scenes of the series even tackles the confusion between PrEP and Preparation H. It is as straightforward as being on the cutting edge; the main goal here is breaking the rules, and, of course, making people smile.

He has not shown the release date, but the rumor has it. Since his career is taking off, it’s plausible that this is the right time.
