    Matt Bomer Feels the Need to Do 'Something Ritualistic' for Purging After Filming New Movie

    The ‘White Collar’ actor opens up about the need to do some ‘purging’ by doing ‘something ritualistic’ after filming ‘The Boys in the Band’ about the Stonewall riots.
    Sep 27, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Matt Bomer had to “do something ritualistic” to give himself some closure after a day of filming new movie “The Boys in the Band”.
    The movie is based on the play of the same name, which tells the story of a visitor who turns an evening upside down when he interrupts a gathering of gay men in New York City in 1968. It’s set a few months before the Stonewall riots – a series of spontaneous, violent demonstrations by members of the gay community in response to a police raid that began at New York’s Stonewall Inn – and the difficult nature of some of the scenes required Matt do some “purging” once he’d finished filming.
    Matt, who also starred in the Broadway run of the play in 2018, told Britain’s The Guardian newspaper, “At the end of the play each night there’s some closure. You’ve purged. Whereas on film, you have time to go home and overthink. It’s this lingering experience that bubbles up throughout the shoot. Sometimes with films I need to do something ritualistic to bring the experience to a close once it’s finished.”

    Asked for an example by the interviewer, Matt replied, “Oh, it will all sound too esoteric and strange. I’d rather keep it mysterious than make it corny.”
    The 42-year-old came out publicly in 2012 and admitted that “certain things” changed for him after he revealed his sexuality.
    “Certain rooms I used to frequent – suddenly the door was closed. But I also engaged with artists who don’t care, who just want the actor they believe is best for the role, and those are the artists I wanted to be working with anyway so I don’t count it as any kind of loss,” he insisted.
    “The Boys in the Band” will be released on Netflix on 30 September.

      Matt Bomer Would Love to Direct 'American Horror Story' Spin-Off

      The ‘White Collar’ alum would be happy to return for the next ‘American Horror Story’ and is especially keen to step behind the lens for the newly-announced spin-off project.
      Jun 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Actor Matt Bomer is keen to step behind the camera to direct an episode of the forthcoming “American Horror Story” spin-off series.
      The coronavirus crisis has forced showrunner Ryan Murphy to alter his plans for the show’s 10th season, instead announcing “American Horror Stories” – an anthology series that features a new tale in each episode, as opposed to the show’s usual season-long narrative.
      Speaking during a new interview with Digital Spy, Matt, who appeared in both the “Freak Show” and “Hotel” series, confessed he’d “love” to return to the show, calling Murphy “the architect of my career.”
      “When he calls, I’m there,” he laughed. “He’ll know better than anybody if there’s a role that’s right for me on American Horror Story or not.”
      However, if an onscreen part isn’t in the cards, Bomer would love to get behind the camera, teasing, “What I would love to do is to direct one of the American Horror Story one-offs that they’re talking about doing.”
      “That would be really, really fun,” the actor added. “You’d get to work with that cast, and tell that story as a director. I’m such a fan of the show, and of that genre, so I think it would be really fun to do.”
      A release date for the new series, which will air on FX on Hulu – a section on the streaming service – has yet to be announced.

      AceShowbiz – Actor Matthew Bomer and his “White Collar” co-stars are all “really optimistic and hopeful” producers can find a way to revive the crime drama series for a TV return.
      Bomer reconnected with a number of his old castmates, including Tim DeKay, Hilarie Burton, Willie Garson and Tiffani Thiessen, as well as creator Jeff Eastin, on Thursday night (May 07) as part of the “Stars in the House” livestreaming series.
      During the digital reunion, they reminisced about their time on the hit show, which ran for six seasons until 2014, and shared the latest on speculation they are gearing up for a “White Collar” reboot.

      A day before the charity event, Bomer and Eastin had told Twitter fans they had “a plan” to get the gang back together for another run, and on Thursday, the actor confirmed talks with TV bosses are underway, although discussions are still in the early stages.
      “There is nothing I would want (more) than to be on a set with this group of people again,” explained Bomer during the “Stars in the House” chat. “There are real conversations happening. There seems to be a lot of excitement about it.”
      However, he admitted it was unclear what format a potential revival would take. “What form that takes and how it plays out and whether all the creatives involved can work it out and make it happen is yet to be seen,” he shared. “But we’re all really optimistic and hopeful.”
      Bomer led the cast of “White Collar” as reformed conman Neal Caffrey, who is recruited to work with the FBI.
