Matt Bomer says role of Superman was pulled back from him after it was revealed he's gay: 'That's my understanding'
The Webster Groves, Missouri-born actor said that the incarnation of Superman he would have played was for a film in the early 2000s that was ultimately scuttled.
'That's my understanding,' the Emmy-nominated actor, 46, said on The Hollywood Reporter's Awards Chatter podcast Monday when asked if his sexuality could have factored in losing the part. The project was initially slated to be directed by Brett Ratner, whose career has stalled in the wake of multiple allegations of sexual misconduct amid the MeToo movement in late 2017. During his time, he tested actors including Jared Padalecki, Jason Behr, and Henry Cavill, who would later play the role in the 2013 movie Man of Steel.
