Matt Bomer for GQ Italia

http://profile.yahoo.com/J2VE4NE2FY2BP4QD2XOYKJGLPI Laura

He looks uncomfortable in the studded jacket, but otherwise, YYYYYUMMMM.

http://twitter.com/crush_onyou crush on you

Very Italian, all of these. Seem to be about US icons. I love that there’s a sign saying ‘Eat’ and an arrow that points at him there. Totally staged but still love it.
Sapphire2309

I wouldn’t say uncomfortable so much as that jacket was a little big for him. And that man? Is amazingly hot anyway.

TheLaurenJean

Good God he is GORGEOUS! I almost have a problem when I see him. Too much yummy in one package.

FashionShowAtLunch

Yes – it’s almost uncomfortable how ridiculously attractive he is.
- http://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/ accidental housewife
  
  It almost hurts to look at him. I can handle the pain though.
  - MissAnnieRN
    
    It’s hilarious how all of us ladies are just drooling over him. Just such a perfect physical specimen. No fun to fantasize about him anymore. Sigh…..
    - FashionShowAtLunch
      
      Oh, I’ve known he was gay for a while. His sexual orientation has nothing to do with my own, so I am undeterred from swooning. It’s not like any of us would have a chance even if he were straight, so it doesn’t make a difference which way he swings.
    - Nora Mulllin
      
      Exactly! Knowing that doesn’t negate the “Goddamn is he hot!” response.
    - Carrie Bradshaw
      
      Preach!

Frank_821

He seems a lot more natural in front of the camera than the typical male celeb. He’s got a skinnier waist than I thought-the bastard

BazoDee

And he’s so buff at the same time – I’ve seen the shots from Magic Mike and I cannot wrap my mind around his tiny waist and yet super buff bod. How does he do that??
- http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
  
  Genetics, mostly.
- RebeccaKW
  
  I don’t know, but I would like to study that process in-depth.

Judy_J

Don’t know who he is, but he is very cute.

Clueless_Jock

I think he was styled to look like Chet Baker.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1260924501 Frank Butterfield

Or Chris Isaak styled by Bruce Weber to look like Chet Baker in a way that Chet Baker would find completely ridiculous, if he ever thought about it at all. Very Route 66.
- Clueless_Jock
  
  Heh, if Bruce Weber had done this photoshoot there would have been a lot more skin….
http://www.GiftedCollector.com Nancy Abrams

I think TLo meant to say that he is dressed like Jerry Lee Lewis. I’ll take that or Chris Isaak.

Love that Googie motel.

http://needtherapy.tumblr.com/ skadi1

I have a great deal of affection for Matt Bomer, and I like his acting VERY MUCH, but he does not move my trousers, as the boys say. I bet he’d be delightful to know in real life, though. He seems delightful.
As for these pictures, I’m actually a bit disappointed. He has many, many virtues, and the photographer doesn’t seem to know what any of them are. I think the best pic is the first one, with the red tux (artistically) second. He can give much better face than this.

BazoDee

You are probably correct -but even at only 50% face he can make the room swoon.

http://www.facebook.com/people/Sonja-Brisson/1156967466 Sonja Brisson

Woof! Who is he? Looks like he should be one of the vampire dudes that are on every 3rd movie or TV show. Amirite?

http://twitter.com/catinlaw Catherine George

No … he’s the lead on the show “White Collar” (about a con artist/art thief who is allowed out of jail in order to help the FBI’s White Collar Crime division).
- http://twitter.com/bredalot Bridget Smith
  
  And he’s really hilarious and charming on it. Usually I’m really put off by the guys who are all charm, as I don’t feel I can trust a word they say. Ironically, it’s the guy playing an actual con man who has the sweetness to ground the charm. He’s just great on the show.
  - http://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/ accidental housewife
    
    Yes, that’s it. He has a genuine sweetness about him, as though he knows he could charm damn near anyone right into bed, but would never dream of doing it.
    
    He is really funny in White Collar, and I think he’s really talented. I love him and Tim DeKay together. They have such a great bromance.
    - BerlinerNYC
      
      OMG, absolutely. That show is the most homoerotic thing on television. Everything is about “their relationship” and if one can really “trust” the other. The slash fiction basically writes itself.
    - http://phantomminuet.blogspot.com/ MinAgain
      
      They are fantastic together. And while Matty may be the prettiest thing on television, Tim is the one who really tips my applecart.
    - http://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/ accidental housewife
      
      Yes! Tim DeKay is totally my type. I love him.
BazoDee

He’ll be on Glee for an episode -I’ve stopped watching Glee but it revisit it just for Matt!
- lovelyivy
  
  My coworker and Iw ill be doing the same. Matt Bomer is the only reason I’ve had to watch Glee in two years.
- http://iwonderandiwander.wordpress.com/ Kris
  
  Wait, what? Really?? Oh, I need to investigate that!
- littlemac8
  
  I just saw he’s going to be on Glee – does anybody know when. I won’t watch otherwise. I definitely got the Chris Isaak vibe.

He also guest starred several times in the show Chuck, as a very important character.

http://profiles.google.com/sara.e.munoz Sara Munoz

Look at him, playing pinball with his penis. Talented boy.

http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd

Loving you right now, Sara.
JosephLamour

Hahaha. That’s my favorite shot, & you just made it even more my favorite.
MissAnnieRN

I KNOW! That picture is so hilarious! The way the light is shining and his hands up in the air it’s like “Check out how heavenly my schlong is!”
http://sarahlovesfabric.com/ SarahLovesFabric

I have never before been jealous of a pinball machine.

Paigealicious

Chris Isaak realness.

Dog_Nerd

He looks like a young Chris Isaak in these photos

Paigealicious

Jinx!

YUMMO

snarkykitten

the styling is so uninspired.

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_64HSRZWCSJ5RBFGCWDLFQOICYM G

Have no idea who he is, but he looks like a young Daniel Day Lewis. He’s gay? Why are you guys always so cute?

Ogden1990

Yes! Young DDL.

AthenaJ

Too pretty for me, I think I’m more attracted to that breakfast he’s eating in the first pic. Is that a bagel sandwich with homefries? Yum…

understateddiva

and a sundae for dessert!! is he hungover?
fashionablylate

LOL, I think he’s dreamy, but I admit the breakfast definitely caught my eye as well.

stephkornblum

All I can say is thank you.

BazoDee

OMG -the eyes over the cup of coffee in that first shot -swoon. Happy Thursday to me!!!

http://twitter.com/The_Bugler Anna Daugherty

This is the most perfect-looking human being in existence.

emeazul

apparently it translates to real life too. A friend of my brother had the pleasure of meeting him whilst he was here in Puerto Rico filming White Collar a couple of weeks ago…

He is as sweet and hot in person. My friend called him a demi-god. and now I AM THE OWNER of a pic and a little piece of paper with his name, my name and lots of love in between…I did not obtain these myself as I was unable to step within 50 feet of his presence for fear of melting.

TheOriginalLulu

He’s gorge.

http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd

LOVE the double breasted cropped jacket, then again, I’m biased, I just finished making myself one. Does this mean I’m on trend at last?

formerlyAnon

The correct attitude is that one is either on trend or, if not, leading trend. As the self-professed owner and wearer of more than one kilt, you obviously own that attitude.
- http://joyouslifesf.wordpress.com Kiltdntiltd
  
  Thanks so much, formerly! What a lovely compliment and affirmation. Its true, I do chart my own course with regard to my sartorial choices. Fortunately, at least from what I hear from others, that is serving me well. And truth be told, I feel that way myself, apart from other people’s feelings on the matter.

fungstyle

sweet fancy moses… *fans self*

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_EDI2DLE7DE3YPW2ONIHBWOVHMA ecallaw

He’s channeling a young Ray Liotta in the first shot.

Rand Ortega

If I were still 12, I would be running around the house screaming because these pictures of the love of my life are the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!

Ah, f**k it–
(now running around the house screaming)

http://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/ accidental housewife

I know right? I’d be screaming and jumping up and down like Sally Draper when she heard she was going to see the Beatles at Shea Stadium.

I don’t even like pretty boys, but I think I’d run away with him if he asked me to.

Jaspreet5

LOVE him and his show White Collar.

I’m even excited to see him on Glee!

Sunshine16

The second to the last pic, where he’s walking with the guitar case over his shoulder? Walk towards me anytime! Yowza

Sara__B

Oh, dear. I’m worried there’s something wrong with me since these photos aren’t doing a thing for me. (Would it help if I’d seen him act?)

BazoDee

Maybe watch the video -see if that helps -he sings at the end . It certainly doesn’t hurt to watch while collar over and over again.
- Sara__B
  
  After watching the video, I’m beginning to understand. Much like runway clothes, he’s better in motion than in photos.
  - Cautia
    
    These pictures actually don’t do much for me either but it’s not a photo vs. in action thing. I just don’t like the way he’s styled here. Do a google image search, there are plenty of gorgeous photos of him.
http://onebluetree.blogspot.com/ Sara L.

Oh, well, you see, he’s wearing entirely too many clothes. There’s your problem.

J D

I saw him on the street yesterday in the Flatiron district. He is even more attractive in person. I hate him/want to be him/want to date him. My feelings are mixed.

Matt Bailer

LOL there’s a Flatiron district? That’s too awesome for words.
- kimmeister
  
  Are curly-haired people shunned there?
http://twitter.com/bredalot Bridget Smith

AAHHH so jealous. I used to work there, so the handful of times they had scenes there I was thrilled. I never saw them filming, though, nor him just walking around.

Also, I just miss having the office there! I think the Flatiron is one of my favorite buildings ever.
- J D
  
  The Flatiron is a really beautiful building, and there’s always so much stuff going on around it. Including Matthew Bomer walking past Shake Shack! You could feel everyone’s head turn as he walked by.

siriuslover

Jerry Lewis, or Jerry Lee Lewis? I love the one of him in front of the motel sign. For some reason, it reminds me of my childhood in Vegas.

http://twitter.com/jaythenerdkid Aaminah Khan

He is a DREAM. I was so happy for him and his family when he came out publically, it was one of those “gives me hope” moments.

shirab

Are all his shoes freakishly long (esp those red ones where he’s sitting on the counter) or does he have really big feet?

kimmeister

I thought that too!

Joyce VG

I’m so happy for your team!

AlexisPayne

Oh, I do adore that man, so good looking and (seemingly) charming!

uprightcitizen

Jerry Lewis? Or Jerry LEE Lewis? (I guess there is a spot in time where they kind of dressed the same). I can’t believe how many times this rockabilly, early Elvis look has come back in my lifetime. Four … five times? I guess it’s a classic, but people keep showing it like it’s innovative or new somehow. And that little double-breasted short jacket always looks so silly. The only guy who ever pulled that off with masculine success was Robert Conrad in “The Wild, Wild West.” Still, Bomer looks good. And that shot with him sitting on the counter makes those already big shoes look as long as his shins. To quote PeeWee Herman: “You know what they say about guys with big feet? Big shoes!”

Aly Light

I’m seeing Elvis Costello in at least a few of these pictures (red tux included)

Matt Bailer

Total boner for Bomer.

JillSpill

He is so handsome and charming on White Collar…I don’t even care if he’s on the other team!

CQAussie

Damn you, Gays, you take all the best ones!!!!! Oh the futility.
Hot pics though =)

formerlyAnon

He doesn’t float my boat, though I see that he meets the criteria for aesthetically pleasing, in an abstract way.

I think the pink jacket (worn with the jeans) is awesome.

And you say they’ve got him dressing like Jerry Lee Lewis as if that’s a bad thing? Maybe if he were corporate drone in an ordinary city – but he’s an actor! Hangs out in LA! (and, from Texas I believe)

http://www.facebook.com/people/Emily-Smith/12431153 Emily Smith

why is he humping the pinball machine?

http://twitter.com/MFMblog MusingsFromManhattan

Dear lord I thought the red tuxedo guy was Brad Goreski. I was thinking…”What is he doing here?”

emeazul

I’ve actually told my boyfriend to SHUT UP! when he comes on the tv…Sure, he “plays for the other team” but I can still sit in the bleachers and think dirty thoughts! *n*

Emily Scott

I’m not crazy about the clothes and styling here, but who cares? Matt Bomer is about the hottest thing in the world. I recently learned that he and Joe Manganiello are best buddies from way back. I don’t know how the building doesn’t spontaneously combust whenever they are in a room together.

girliecue

It looks like they were going for Musicians of the 50s. The red suit is Jerry Lee Lewis and the last snap is pure Elvis. Really, it doesn’t matter what the theme is when Matt Bomer is the subject. Sigh….

http://cheekypinky.wordpress.com/ Rebecca

I was going to say Johnny Cash. And I love that little cropped tux jacket!

rkdgal

In the red suit, he is serving up some Kurt Russell (or Kurt Russell as Elvis) realness.

LesYeuxHiboux

This is so fun! Love the concept, like the clothes in the context. Can’t imagine anyone wearing it in real life (except maybe Prince), but the jacket in the pinball photo is pretty fab.

MilaXX

Don’t care what team he plays for, gonna oogle him anyway. I like this photo shot since Matt’s personal style leans itself well to the Rat pack styling they did here. Should be interesting to see how he fits into the Glee!’verse

Ogden1990

How are T & L going to resist Glee with this pretty addition? He’s playing Blaine’s brother–talk about a tilted world.

annieanne

Love Matt. Hate what they’ve done with his hair.

YourBaloneyDontGotNoSecondName

Once again, TLO features a gorgeous slab of Hot Yes Now Please. Once again, I ask WHY IS HE WEARING CLOTHES? Why doesn’t TLO understand this?

Warmheartedgirl Seattle

My favorite HAS to be the one with the “EAT” sign above a neon arrow pointing right at his head. Eat, indeed!

terpsichory

You have no idea how ridiculously happy this post made me. There’s a huge smile plastered to my face and I couldn’t get rid of it if I wanted to. Thanks TLo for making my day and thanks MB for being the closest thing to living, breathing perfection there is.

Athenrein

Love him. Really not liking the hair in these pictures though.

holdmewhileimnaked

doesnt ordinarily but here he looks like chris isaak.
& i think it was shot near fletcher over in no mans land, so to speak, the edge of silver lake, echo park, everything.

http://www.GiftedCollector.com Nancy Abrams

I looked it up. The location is rented out for movies, photo shoots, etc. It’s in Sun Valley in the SFV.

Pants_are_a_must

And he’s also married with kids, so all the rest of the gays also get to look but not touch…neener neener.

Pinup Ghoul

More guys need to adopt the greaser, slightly rockabilly look. I might just be biased that way, though.

http://beautyforrealgirls.blogspot.com/ accidental housewife

The pinball machine probably asked him to.

ccm800

all that and a side of taters.
Look really…side of taters!

kat89

Yum. Such a loss for us breeders. *sigh*

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_F73LIJ3SJGI5AJQMXMWXCKILHI Pamela

Yeah, I got the Chris Isaak reminder from these shots. However, though he is gorge, he doesn’t bat for my team sooooo….I WANT that diner!!!

RedRaven617

Love him and his blue eyes. Don’t see them that well in these photos.

umeboshi

i’m going to make my boyfriend do his hair like that.

altalinda

Nice. Though the arrow pointing straight at his head is akin to the photo mistake of making it look like your subject has a tree growing out of her head.

http://kittysdrawings.com Esz

Why HELLO.

librarygrrl64

Sorry, but that outfit he has on at the pinball machine is hiddy. And he’s too much of a pretty boy for my tastes. He’s all yours, boys.

http://www.twitter.com/allforusophia AllForUSophia

*Thud*

allisankelly

I feel like he’s a little bit River and Joaquin Phoenix with some Johnny Depp and a little Patrick Swayze and a splash of Matt Dillon. I mean, the man is delightful to look at. And AMEN to the red tuxedo shot.

turtleemily

I thought he looked like a long lost Phoenix brother, too.

The pinball photo looks like the suit is 3 sizes too small.

http://modernretrowoman.com DrJulieAnn

The Pink Motel!! My sister would joke that she wanted to go there on her honeymoon when we were teenagers and it was known as a “per hour” kind of dive. I love it as the backdrop for the photoshoot.

I think he would be good in a Montgomery Cliff biopic.

I was soooo relieved to find out that he’s gay. My marriage was saved and all sorts of court appearances for violating various restraining orders were avoided once I found out.

Not that I would have turned into a creepy stalker woman or anything…*cough*

http://twitter.com/nkk Nikki

I like the styling and the theme. I think the photography really fell apart. Some of the lighting and focus- ahhh I can’t do it. Some is so sharp, some is soft, there is a continuity problem that needs some attention.

SVLynn

Utterly RIDICICULOUS how good looking he is, I guess I’m going to have to tune in to Glee one more time as I’m having White Colllar withdrawal. Goodness Gracious!

http://pulse.yahoo.com/_3AJ237ND3GAHDQJZ4TLCO4WLRA Emily

thank you.

Nonnah

That pink diner/hotel/whatever looks just like the set in Grease 2 when Stephanie Zinone and Michael Carrington meet to go over her English paper. Awesome!
He looks great too!

http://twitter.com/emdog24 Emily

OMG I had the SAME thought about Jon Hamm (specifically from the pic where he’s holding the guitar).

Linderella

I haven’t been this blindly, irrationally, and slavishly in love with someone in I don’t know how long. A friend and I recently messaged back and forth about him for hours (not kidding!). Love him. What’s he wearing? Do I care?

quiltrx

Mmmm. All that pretty, great bod, awesome hair…AND he appears to have some really big feet.

Sometimes your team gets ALL the fun!

Victoria Sharoyan

Anyone else think he’s channeling some serious Brad Goreski in the red suit shot?

boweryboy

James Dean schtick once again. Yawn.

And enough already with no socks and dress shoes. All I can think of is the sweatly gross petri dish of moist athelete’s feet fungus bacteria living between his toes.

fashionablylate

“neener neener”, lmao! I so love this editorial, he looks amazing, but really, can he look any other way?

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=27432316 Ally Monge

Love the studded shirt pic and the red tuxedo in the chair. J’adore him. Died a little inside when heard he favored the masculine side of life. *sigh* (also I wish my hair looked 1/2 as good as his ever)

DesertDweller79

Wait, there were clothes in the pictures? Sorry for the old line, but I am tired. And he is pretty. This one is a definitely a victory for your side. Alas. Of course, since this only changes my odds on being with him by about .00000000001% I will just continue to fantasize about him anyway. Thanks!

http://phantomminuet.blogspot.com/ MinAgain

Matty has great hair. And he’s never cuter than when he’s wearing those nerdy glasses.

filmcricket

Hmmm. That singing was a bit pitchy, dawg. I predict a lot of auto-tuning for his Glee appearance. Doesn’t mean I won’t watch and drool, though. Man he is gorgeous, and he wears clothes really well. Love the idea of him playing Montgomery Clift.

cmb92191

Yes, big difference between Jerry Lewis and Jerry Lee Lewis.

I did like the mirror and jeans shot.

”Just remember: he’s playing for our team so … neener neener.” -TLo (aka Mean Girls)

And this is why I LOVE TLo!!!

http://twitter.com/cornekopia Shawn EH

Gotta love that breakfast: eggs on a bagel, home fries, and a butterscotch sunday!

judybrowni

What TLo said about John Hamm, I’ve felt about Matt — before I knew which team he played for. “I appreciate his physical self, but I tended to look at him more like a pretty picture hanging on a wall. He’s a bauble to pick up and put back down, not something for me to hang my fantasies on.”

Hetha Innis

I wonder if he was styled by Brad? That red tux certainly makes it seem so. He’s freaking adorable.

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=677547537 John Hodgins

I don’t normally mourn the loss of my hair, but damn, I want his!!!!

http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=713709401 Randy Noak

Am I the only one to notice the ice cream sundae that he’s supposed to be eating with breakfast? Come on art director, I’ll buy a hot guy wearing a pink tuxedo for no reason in a diner in the middle of nowhere, but I won’t buy the fact that he’s eating a friggin’ ice cream sundae FOR BREAKFAST!

Patricia Gillett

That there’s a beautiful man. The styling suits him.

drdarke

Bomer’s great as always – but the photographer and stylist should have their Artistic License suspended.

buildmeatower

He does nothing for me, but by God do I love that waistcoat thing he’s got on in the second picture. I will gladly hold it for him while the rest of y’all are removing the rest of his clothing.
