Hollywood can be a very hypocritical place because although today it is sold as a place full of openness for everyone, in reality it has a history in which racism has always occurred. At the beginning of his career, Matt Bomer He had everything to be the Superman of the 2000s but due to his sexual orientation it was not like that.
Maybe it doesn’t sound familiar to you, but in the 2000s we were going to have a movie about superman with a script written by JJ Abrams and in it we were going to have in the stellar Matt Bomer as the last son of Krypton. The guy had all the earmarks to be Clark Kent, however, a series of issues on the part of the production meant that he was not like that.
For those who don’t know, Boomer was Neal Caffrey was part of the cast of the White Collar series and was recognized for his work. In the beginning he was a soap opera actor and in order not to hinder the casting of him as the new “Sups”, he left the project and focused on being the “Man of Steel”.
We are talking about that 20 years ago there was still a real prejudice if an actor for such a role was not 100% straight. The actor was very close to getting the role, but his sexual orientation was what got him out of it and he assumed so at the time.
It is worth noting that this actor did not make his sexual orientation known at the time, but the damage had already been done.

Matt Boomer was not Superman, but he was part of the DC universe
In 2012, Matt Boomer “came out of the closet” and that opened – in some way – the sewer of castings in Hollywood, in this precise case, of Warner Bros. Pictures, which are the owners of everything that has to do with Superman in the movies.
There were investigations that revealed a very interesting detail: when Warner found out about the actor’s sexual orientation, there was simply someone who said no and they closed the casting in which he was participating.
Was this a regrettable loss? It could be said that yes, however, the project also did not go ahead. But Matt Boomer was part of the DC universe. He was Negative Man in the Doom Patrol series. And he has done well in other jobs too.
