This is one of those stories you need to believe or disbelieve as much as you want, as it’s not exactly from the horse’s mouth, but novelist Jackie Collins has claimed in a recent interview that White Collar star Matt Bomer lost out on the role of Superman in the upcoming Man Of Steel because here’s gay. We’re not sure how she’d be personally privy to that info, but sadly with the way Hollywood works, it’s certainly more than possible she’s right.
Talking to GaydarRadio she said, ‘Matt Bomer, who is the most gorgeous looking guy and the star of White Collar, he was up for the role of Superman. ‘He had not come out of the closet but people in the know knew he was gay. His audition tape went in and he called up the agent. Someone didn’t like him and told them he was gay. They said, “No, no, we can’t cast you.” The reason he didn’t get cast was because he was gay.
‘I think it should change but there are women out there who want to worship somebody. If Justin Bieber said he was gay, he’d lose all his little girl fans. It’s a sad fact of life. So a lot of them get married, have a couple of kids and pretend to be straight.’
As mentioned, we can’t speak to the validity of this, but we would bet Bomer would have made a great Clark Kent. Hopefully Henry Cavill will do as good a job.
