Pictures of Matt Bomer and Jonathan Bailey filming their upcoming miniseries hit social media recently, and absolutely no one was prepared.
The hunky duo are set to play beaus in Showtime’s historical drama Fellow Travelers, based on Thomas Mallon’s best-selling novel of the same name.
The story follows the romance between Hawkins Fuller (Bomer) and Timothy Laughlin (Bailey) through the ’50s Lavender Scare era through to the AIDS crisis of the ’80s.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
That synopsis aside, these BTS shots are serving anything but drama. Instead, the pair are just frolicking on a beach, kissing in the seafoam and letting their hands roam.
Folks are renewing their Showtime subscriptions as we speak:

Judging from the source material, this project might not end up being the lighthearted “Heartstopper 2.0” that some are hoping for. At least we know one scene will leave our hearts officially stopped!

Bomer is so attractive to me, but I find it more sweet than sexual. I’m probably dead. Mayne that’s it?

Hilarious. Menopause? Don’t worry you’ll be back on your horse soon.

He’s extremely charming and sweet natured in his interviews. How a man that beautiful can seem humble and almost pull it off is beyond me. I think I understand your sentiment. Did you know he also sings very well?

Dropping in Fall can’t wait!

Jonathan Bailey is giving me vibes of the early Michael Nesmith (from the Monkees), This looks good.

Matt is so beautiful. I wish they’d reconsider doing that Montgomery Clift movie with him as the lead.
