Matt Bomer is THE most attractive human being that has ever lived.

Yes you right I think he is the most handsome man in the world and very talented

Nah. Zayn Malik is.

His nearly identical twin is Henry Cavill. Check it out sometime.

[@DiogoF.]

Have anyone also noticed how much Matt is insecure even though he is obliviously a Greek God? That's actually peculiar... He sounds and looks like an amazing guy.

[@elinebelle5128]

I think he looks more nervous or uncomfortable doing interviews than insecure I guess

[@sae311]

He is just humble he knows he is absolutely perfect looking

[@ksw4942]

Yes, I’ve thought the same.

[@JAMESFERNANDEZ]

that happens quite a lot to those who stands out from the crowd, sort of saying! They are all their life facing situations from other people who get closer to them only because they're attractive. It's kind a defence behaviour maybe and that leads to an "insecure look" to others.

[@roonil3931]

He is shy

Just stand beside him fellas lol) and 99% of male celebrities. And maybe even that woman sitting beside him too, despite her serving some Britney mid-2000s era realness.

[@robertday4870]

He is so breathtakingly beautiful ....a living breathing Adonis.The fact that he seems so unaware of how gorgeous he is so refreshing to see. I loved his s performance in Boys in the Band . When he sang in Magic Mike XXX I realized he could sing as well as perform all those stripper moves that Matt was a Triple Threat.

And that after doing a little research, I realized I PERFORMED ON THE SAME STAGE AS MATT BOMER. He played one of the brothers in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" on the same stage that I performed on for the first time as an 8 year old. MY MIND IS BLOWN.

This comment section is kind of an ironic place to use gay as an insult considering the man in this interview is gay.

[@sock776]

Oh, sorry, it sounded like you were using it as an insult. I kind of get that idea when somebody just says "GAY!".

[@NDBit]

Well, that reflects poorly on you then - not the other guy. I don't see the word 'GAY!' and assume it's an insult. I read a happy inflection into it, in all CAPS with an exclamation point at the end, as I imagine many people do.
