Jackie Collins: Matt Bomer Lost Out On “Superman” Because He’s Gay

[Matt Bomer] 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.’ ‘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.”

Writer Jackie Collins, dishing on the Hollywood closet while promoting The Power Trip, on Gaydar Radio
