Matt Bomer is too handsome for this world.
In The Boys in the Band — the Broadway revival of the 1968 play about a gay party that flies off the rails — Matt Bomer portrays Donald, the best friend of the event’s host, Michael. Donald is grappling with his identity through analysis and also retreat — he fled New York City in order to distance himself from gay culture. But the party forces him to once again confront it as well as himself.
During a visit to The Tonight Show, Matt Bomer revealed that he was almost left naked onstage during a performance of The Boys in the Band on Broadway.
In one of the play’s scenes, Bomer takes a shower onstage, but during one performance, the prop crew forgot to leave the towel. “I had the choice to either do the rest of the 10-minute scene butt-naked, which would not have made any sense,” told Jimmy Fallon. “Or, there’s like a glass partition, so I had to kind of coyly reach around and grab my tighty-whities and put them back on my soaking wet body, and then do the rest of the scene in wet tighty-whities.”
