Post in previous has a tweet with Matt at the stage door on Monday night and it looks like Simon in the background. I get the vibe that all isn't good in the relationship.

Kids could probably be there for the first two weeks in August. Matt said last summer that kid was in camp for a month so it's likely the kids are spending July in camp. Clearly Jimmy Fallon was told by his publicist that the family was coming out to NYC for the summer.

If that's him R2, maybe he just doesn't want to be around his fans.
He ignored one when they called out to him before, had people talking to his kids including that creepy lady that was posting where she saw them and that she spoke to him and them, then got a gift and a letter from one of Matt's more zealous fans. The last time anyone spotted him he was in a car and met Matt after the show but didn't go near them. It was obviously him that night since he responded to the gift/letter the next morning.
And even when the kids get out of camp or if they are, it's clear they all know how not to be seen.

Like for the majority of their relationship, it's all speculation about the current state of their marriage. We'll know more in the weeks and months after the play has ended. Matt has continually worn his wedding ring after the show at the stage door most nights and was wearing it last night. Whether that indicates anything or not, who knows.
Simon always likes to keep a low profile. I can imagine he was pissed off when that fan said hi to the kids when Matt wasn't there. Not to mention that letter must be been creepy to receive.
by Anonymous | reply 6 | July 25, 2018 9:16 AM |
R6 I think he's just staying back and out of sight because some of Matt's fans, especially the one who gave him a gift and a letter and the other fan who said hi to him and the kids, she used their names when he look them to see the Spongebob musical. That must of scared the kids.

Matt's stans and their lack of boundaries. Weird. Simon's probably used to seeing crazy fans as a publicist but different when it's strangers talking to your own kids.
by Anonymous | reply 8 | July 25, 2018 9:37 AM |
If there were issues he wouldn't be wearing his wedding ring, especially since he can get away with not wearing it after having to change all the time.
They were both still liking photos of the both of them posted by fans.
His husband wouldn't be randomly meeting him at the stage door. That's not something you do to someone you have issues with.
And interviewers that know them both wouldn't have been bringing Simon up to him.
He also still refers to things as being theirs if he ever does talk about his personal life.
I just think he's avoiding the fans. Also that talking to the kids lady was the second person that did that. Someone else posted they did when Simon brought them to the show. It would annoy the hell out of me if someone spoke to my children I didn't know. You speak to ME.
The only time I've ever heard Simon even speak was when he was yanked on camera after Matt won the Golden Globe. Otherwise as R6 says he keeps a low profile.

What happened to his movie Anything? I had it in my Netflix DVD queue for the past couple of weeks then this morning I noticed the number of titles in my queue had dropped one. It took me a while to figure out that the title that was removed was Anything. So I checked my saved queue (which is where something goes when it vanishes from my DVD queue) and it wasn't there either. In case I accidentally deleted it, I did a search for it and it's not on the site at all. I even checked under Matt's filmography page in case it had been given a new title. Nope. It's been completely removed from Netflix.
What's the story behind that? More trans backlash? Late minute distributor issues? Will it ever see the light of day (outside of a film festival)?
by Anonymous | reply 21 | July 26, 2018 10:11 PM |
Anything was never scheduled for a Netflix distribution as far as I'm aware R21 and was never on Netflix. People would have said in line whether it was for a Netflix release.

Anything was on my Netflix DVD queue last night before I went to bed, R22. What can I tell you?
I know Netflix has done mass purgings of foreign movies (especially French, Chinese, Japanese and Korean) over the past few months and those were ultimately blamed on distributor issues so maybe that's the case with Anything too though the distributor's other recent movie Krystal (starring Rosario Dawson) is still on there.
I just checked Amazon and they have no trace of the movie on there either so I wonder if Anything got dropped by its distributor at the last minute considering it kept getting mentioned in those articles recently about Scarlett Johansson dropping out of Rub and Tug. The controversy may have given them pause and they thought "fuck this" and dropped it.
by Anonymous | reply 23 | July 26, 2018 10:46 PM |
Again, Anything was never slated for an Amazon release either. The only distribution I've heard of is in the UK online in the next week or so. It would have been somewhere online if it was due for Netflix.

It's because him and Rannells have been extremely touchy feely with each other the last few months. Obviously people are going to talk. He's been more affectionate with Rannells than this own husband.

He said himself they're all affectionate but "platonically" at least twice.
They all seem to be touchy feely, the problem is that he's the one that's married.
We've never seen him work with other out gay people before that he's known for decades.
But it does seem like those two very explicitly stopped that and have been separated from one another in photos at events since the day after WWHL aired with Matt keeping his hands in front of him. Matt very pointedly didn't post a picture of the "kiss" on his instagram.
I felt like he caught wind of what people were saying and was uncomfortable.
I suspect he knows the Datalounge exists (even Andy Cohen does) because he always pointedly addresses anything people are talking about here.

Whatever it may have been she got over it. She seems to be happy she saw him and seems to have enjoyed the show but she's not upset with him so that means something.

Many celebrity parents keep their children out of sight until they reach a certain age, except for rare appearances. The oldest one is the one you'll see the most for now.
I remember an interview where Matt mentioned they're both quality of time over quantity of time parents. I also read a sighting last year with all of them together, which was legit (since it happened in a very random location and then they confirmed they were there), where the kids were acting up and Matt was furious but he didn't yell or scream at them. Neither did.

R145 think I saw that on Twitter a while back. Someone saw the family in the mall and the kids ran up the down escalator and the person said that Matt got really mad (which I think indicates that he gave out to them).
The kids were always kept away from the public eye for obvious reasons. As they've gotten older and Matt's more comfortable being out, they've appeared more in public.

Matt was the one disappointed in AHS. Season 5 was very different when he signed on. It involved Jessica Lange, but after Ryan Murphy heard Lady Gaga was a fan of the show he changed the season.
As for Matt's next project he said he is directing another Ryan Murphy production.

It was Matt who wasn't interested in returning.
He was asked back for Season 6 (which he said in an Australian interview on camera) but only committed to an uncredited voice over. He's made it clear, in interviews, that he is being more picky and doing projects he wants to do.
Filming for this season of AHS [bold]already[/bold] began and he's [bold]still[/bold] in the play produced by Ryan Murphy. Once he's done he's already planning to work with Ryan again directing on one of his many shows.
Being more picky about projects means he gets to play a reporter in a serious film like The Vulture Club or the lead in a comedy/drama like Papi Chulo. While neither are big films he at least got to act in roles that he seems satisfied with instead of a large ensemble piece, where he's mainly there as a eye candy while reading horribly written lines in a part that was written last minute because the director/creator changed his mind and isn't even involved with the episodes because he's managing multiple shows at once.
He's still part of Ryan Murphy's troupe and if he offered him a project he likes I'm sure he'd take it and he has.

Ryan Murphy has his favourites and builds stories around them. He clearly recognises talent in Matt as he's given him decent roles in The Normal Heart/Boys on The Band and director jobs but it's clear that other actors ate Murphy's go to people e.g. Sarah Paulson, Jessica Lange and Evan Peters. I think Matt just doesn't enjoy American Horror Story and just doesn't want to be in it. Let's not forget that the only reason Matt is in Ryan Murphy's troupe is because of Simon. Granted Matt may have come into his orbit if he were not with Simon but I doubt he'd get as much work out Murphy.

The Sirius XM interview with Larry Flick was clearly unscheduled and he dropped by because he was already at Sirius and is friends with the guy. IIRC, he wasn't even listed as a guest on the episode. That was the only way he got away with it.
I think Larry Flick was the only interviewer, besides the one after Matt won his Golden Globe, that got Simon to speak when he showed up to his show with Matt on an older interview he did while he was just sitting in the background.
It was very clear during the SAG/AFTRA "Conversations" interview when the host was reading off his lengthy bio that they intentionally skipped over Anything but mentioned Papi Chulo and The Vulture Club. They even mentioned The Magnificent 7 and The Nice Guys. "Anything" in relation to Matt is dead.

R203, He doesn't want to be talked about. Also interviewers aren't sitting there asking Matt Damon endless questions about his wife (unless they just got married or there's a significant story) or Jim Parsons about his husband. The interviewer's job is to focus on the celeb.
I'd guess, the only way you'd really get him to talk about his personal life is if you got him on a podcast, most likely. Even he understands talk show interviews are for sound-bites and promoting products.
R199, they have known each other for years. Dan Savage (Terry's husband) came into the larger mainstream when he did the "It Gets Better" campaign. Remember that? Andrew even did a segment for it. Nearly every gay celeb was involved in that and them.

R212, See you stirring that pot again.
There haven't been any rumors about the validity of their relationship until he started working on a show with other gay men, where he was also playing an out gay character. Of course that would happen because they're all touchy feely. He seemed to know that people might think that so he dropped that they were all affectionate "platonically" a few times." They (the cast) all touch and hold each other a lot. A few of those men he has known for 20 some years. Also it seems like Andrew initiated a lot of the touching but they seemed to have backed way off after Cohen. Even with that GIF of them going up the stairs, Matt didn't reciprocate and Andrew tried once before to grab him but he wouldn't budge. It seems like they had a talk after that.
Doubt Michael B would post something he thought was scandalous.
Outside of public appearances he has only been spotted with Parsons, Lee Pace, Quinto and his boyfriend Miles. He implied he was really close with Quinto and Michael B Washington. If any of the gays were in open relationships or screwing around in NYC then it would have been heard loud and clear. Everyone knows what NPH and Quinto are into, how to hook up with them and where to go to do it. If Matt were open, any gay that got near him would scream it from the hills.
He smokes pot, as does everyone, (sometimes he smokes cigarettes and has on and off for years). In that interview he just seemed like he was awake and comfortable being himself. That interview was probably the closest the public will get to the real Matt. He's like he's a theater queer who does his best to hide it when a camera is on him (with his singing & love of old Hollywood) but he has loosened up.

He doesn't mind people bringing up the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which seems to be the film he did he likes the least but hasn't placed it on his banned interview questions list.
Anything, however, is strictly off limits.
I credit the backlash from that film with driving him away from Twitter where he would often search on mentions of his name. He took a break after and was never the same after.
It also seems like something happened between him and Ruffalo afterwards since he seemed to have jumped into the film, partially, as a favor to him. Now it's like Ruffalo never existed.
Whoever said it was his first career misstep in decades was right and he doesn't want to ever think about it. It's hard enough being a gay actor without as much support as, someone like Jared Leto got, so he really got eaten alive - even by his own community.

It's hardly Simon's fault-Matt isn't a child. He was in his mid-30s when he signed onto the movie, hardly an inexperienced actor fresh on the scene who need guidance step by step. Yes, the pair of them should have realised that taking on a role like that would cause a few ruffled feathers but they had their blind spot apparently. Matt didn't expect the backlash to be that bad.
He pretty much gave up on his Twitter after that initial criticism came in. Now he mainly uses it to post his IG links, like comments about projects he's worked on and the odd tweet/happy birthday tweet. IG is his preferred social media platform these days.

He said on that Sirius radio interview that things were different when he agreed to do the film in 2014. He was right. Unfortunately the film came out much later and even without his support (since he refused to do press) the film release and promotion pushed forward.
His biggest mistake afterwards was blocking Jamie Clayton on Twitter. He didn't know enough to search her (she is verified) and find out that at the time she was on a popular tv series, Sense8. That blocking, increased her rage, and since she had some star power, it also landed her an interview with the Hollywood Reporter the very next day. While they all made nice after the damage was done. Anytime an actor/actress tries to take a trans role, his name always gets brought up as someone who shouldn't have done that.
The worst part of all, is that the character in the play Anything was a cross dresser and [bold]not[/bold] trans. They shouldn't have tried to be "topical."

When he blocked a few of the trans actresses it just made everything 10 times worse. Wrong move on his part but it did eventually die down and only bubbled up again when the trailer appeared and it screened at a festival or two. Better to just let the movie eventually fade away than try and speak out about it. While some of his fans are being supportive, I figure he probably doesn't like them tweeting about the movie the last day or two in case it attracts criticism.

I get that it was a poor career decision to do it because of the trans controversy, but really it isn’t a very good movie anyway. Doubt if many people will watch it or would have even without the complaints. Don’t think it is hurting him now, though. Nobody cares about a few spiteful sour grapes comments from trans actresses who didn’t get the part. That casting wouldn’t have made it a better movie.

R230 good point. It was never going be a big movie or get the critical acclaim like The Danish Girl so all the controversy probably actually raised its profile momentarily. Highly doubt many people have seen it or plan to watch it bar fans of the actors. It didn't really hurt his career but perhaps gave him a headache and a bit of bad pr.

Matt does make mistakes. He's human and not infallible. His intent was good but even he knows it was a mistake.
As a straight woman, you don't have to resort to transphobia on a gay board of all places. That's disgusting and I doubt he'd approve.
If he won't even talk about it then his fans should follow along. It's what he wants.

Judging by some of the tweets from a few fans the last day or two, they even recognise that the movie wasn't really that good and that it wasn't his best part. Although I don't get why some of them tag him in their tweets when they say they weren't fond of the movie-just don't tell him.

People who @ him should know better R235. It's terrible, really. They just want attention but he's not going to respond to a negative comment.
He likes tweets from his super fans about him, he'll like tweets about Donald from the Boys in the Band and he'll respond to birthday wishes from teens.

Carrie Fisher (many years ago), Anderson Cooper, Joy Behar (who used to get topics from here) and even Rosie O'Donnell (who admitted to coming here in the past in an interview but now claims she never did which is a lie) have been around.
The interview that Matt just did where the interviewer said there was "discussion" of where to sit online to see Matt's "privates" (when he didn't seem too pleased - it was rude of him to even ask the question IMHO) probably got that from here since there were many posts about it in the Broadway thread at one point. A lot of entertainment people do and have always known about this site.
Most celebs don't show up here anymore or at least don't reveal that they do. They have someone else do what's called, "media management." It's important they know what's being said about them online not just from here but on all sites.

People endorsed "Love, Simon" to show that it's possible that a mainstream gay movie for teens could have a theatrical release, be successful and have support. If you were gay and in a major city you probably saw it for free. They were practically giving the tickets away.
And kissing Greg Berlanti's ass is never a bad thing. He is right up there with Ryan Murphy and Shonda Rhimes in terms of power with multiple shows on the air. Only he dwarfs them as a producer of about 10 shows airing or soon airing on Netflix and the CW. He is also willing to have gay actors and characters on his shows. However, Matt & Simon both have known Greg Berlanti and his husband Robbie for years.
Whoever said that Matt was going to do the Target ADs got it right. The pics of him are adorable and there were a couple of new ones I don't think we've seen before. As much as I wish he'd post more content than just ads and the occasional pic and video I'm happy we at least have that.

The Normal Heart - Photographer who dies of AIDS but also manages to get naked multiple times while his lead costar stays clothed. (A good role.)
American Horror Story Freakshow - Hooker who gets murdered in his underwear and chopped into pieces after a scene where he talks about rough sex that makes him bleed form his anus.
American Horror Story Hotel - Drug addict turned vampire who has sex with Lady Gaga, yells at Kathy Bates, gets naked multiple times in the premiere which was unnecessary, runs around in his underwear, then gets killed before the show ends.
Boys in the Band - Good at the beginning, spends most of his time in the background but they found a way to get him naked again which was completely unnecessary even if it was in the movie which was staged differently.

He is a nice connection to have R299 but if he wants to grow as an actor he has to do other stuff. Luckily, he has. He was fantastic in Walking Out and I have high hopes for Papi Chulo. He did his best with The Last Tycoon. It doesn't seem like any of those roles were something he has done before but he wouldn't have gotten those opportunities with Ryan Murphy based upon their history working together.
Simon sometimes has a bag with him at the theater. I don't think it means he just arrived in town. I doubt Matt let his mother sit alone by herself all day while he worked. She was probably spending time with Simon.

He may not be attractive to you but he is attractive to the one person that matters, Matt.
It's possible that a person universally thought of as being attractive doesn't care about traditional looks or dating his twin. When anyone asks Matt he has consistently said he doesn't think of himself as attractive. He has even made "yuck" noises a couple of times when talking about his own body. He comes off as humble and never comes off as full of himself and how he sees himself probably plays into it.
It says a lot about Matt, and I'm sure they've heard negative comments about their age difference and looks difference because anyone with Matt would be scrutinized, that he simply didn't care what other people thought. When he could have had anyone he wanted. He chose him. It's apparent Simon also treats him like a Queen.

Looking at that old clip of Simon, it's clear he is a good looking guy-I think he just looks like how a regular 54 year old looks. He hasn't had work done to stay looking young. That podcast host Ilana Levine said she was in love with Simon; his friend who died from ALS wrote in her book that he was the "champagne of men" and that she was intoxicated by him. He must have something about him to prompt such comments.

Could Andrew be more OTT?
by Anonymous | reply 333 | August 11, 2018 5:00 PM |
Not sure if that was supposed to be his character, but I thought Andrew was “hamming it up” compared to the rest of the cast, even Robin who plays the most “flamboyant” one didn’t give me that “trying too much” feeling. Probably works better in something OTT like Mormon.

I thought Andrew was good in the play but I read one or two reviews that said he was miscast. I saw one where the reviewer said he didn't know what Rannells was doing in the play at all. Harsh.
Overall the play seemed to be a hit. Mixed reviews from the critics but that was always going to be a possibility because of the play's history. The audience loved it and it made back its initial investment so it could be called a success.

I thought, like another reviewer did, that the play as miscast a bit.
Matt should have had Andrew's role and vice versa. Jim was still doing a bit too much Big Bang Theory for me.
Robin stole the show. Charlie Carver went beyond what I thought he could do.
Quinto's performance was perfect, stereotypical but perfect.
Come Tony's time next year Jim and Robin have the best chance of getting recognized.

Matt's performance was very subtle but it was a good part. He was very good when it was him and Parsons at the start and then his character intentionally fades into the background when everyone else shows up to signify his discomfort/anxiety. It's a shame his character didn't have a more meatier role in the second half of the play-would have liked to him to have more lines but as he said in a recent interview, it's like people watch the play through Donald's eyes.
I do think out of everyone, Rannells was the most miscast. Charlie Craver was actually a pleasant surprise: his last line is one of the funniest in the entire play and is delivered with perfection.

Zachary Quinto looks a bit like Andrew Garfield in that pic R344. There's an air pretention about Quinto at times. It doesn't help that he speaks so slowly, which makes it sound like he tries to act super refined. He comes across as a guy who likes to show off how well versed he is with art/literature/culture. In saying that, people at the stage door said he was very friendly when he came out to sign. Could just be the way his personality comes through in interviews.

R350 who wouldn't miss daily adoration and gifts? Had to be a bit of an ego boost.

R349, People have said this about him for years now. He's just a person that mostly knows his worth. If he doesn't want to give an interview, he won't give it. If he believes something should be changed he'll ask. He also openly admitted that he wasn't entirely sure he even wanted to do the play. He isn't a bad guy. He's just direct and honest. That has gotten him into trouble before. He was apparently nice to people at the stage door but if he said he didn't want to take photos he wouldn't budge for anyone.
[quote]Wonder if Matt will miss the nightly devotion/adoration from fans and spectators?
I'll guess he'll miss it but nothing lasts forever. Something like this will probably never be put together again. I'm sure there were some days when he had to force himself to do it and being away from his family for this long, without a break, probably isn't necessarily good for the kids or himself.
[quote]Matt cried during the final curtain call
I think he said he cried during opening night too right before he went on. He just seems like a really kind, decent person who cries quite a bit (according to his interviews) but usually when warranted.
I remember reading a story from a fan that ran into him on a studio lot. The fan told him his entire story and about how he helped him come out. Matt asked the fan if he wanted a hug, gave it to him then asked him if he wanted to take a picture too. That's the kind of guy he is. I hope he stays that way.

It was nice to see a more open side of Matt the last few months. You could tell he was being himself more and being around openly gay actors made him more comfortable. He said it once or twice that usually he's the only out person on set so I imagine it must be tough for him to be fully himself during those times. I suspect there is a little bit of sadness knowing that it will be rare for him to get another chance in the near future to work with as many out gay actors.

To me, Zachary Quinto also came off a bit pretentious in written/recorded interviews. Also, I didn't care for his looks for some reason. Then in early 2013, my friend dragged me to see THE GLASS MENAGERIE in nearby Boston before its Broadway transfer. I gotta say that Quinto is very beautiful in person. We didn't stagedoor (we didn't know of such a thing), but we sat fairly close to the stage, so I got a pretty good look at him. I was shocked by how attractive (and tall) he was in person. Very striking! I couldn't stop looking at him. I wonder why his charisma doesn't transfer to film, TV, or even interviews?

A good thing to remember is that if he has something else coming up besides directing, he's not allowed to announce it until the studio/production announces it.
So if you hear about something, it won't be from him first.
We should see him at the Toronto Film Festival next, if he goes, and there will probably be interviews around then. After that he'll be with Simon at the next GLSEN event in October since that was announced.

Fans are gonna' fan.
However, if @chrissyteigen can handle 10 million followers who give each of her tweets thousands of favorites and RTs (all talking to her) while she reaps the benefits of having everything she writes also be written about in various publications then so can he. When he used to Tweet many of his tweets would get picked up by different mags.
He never seemed to learn that he can limit what he sees by using his Notification Settings and even by Muting Key Words. Fans will eventually take the hint. It might also be easy for him to tweet if he doesn't feel the burden of seeing who is talking to him and thinking he has to respond.
Antoni from Queer Eye even mentioned that his manager told him to use Twitter but NEVER read the comments or search his name. By limiting his notifications to, say, people he follows he would have probably had an easier time using it.
Judging by his accidental "butt RT" he definitely reads Twitter. He's just smart enough to keep quiet.

A lot of them probably still see him as Neal Caffery or think of him as their 'internet boyfriend".

I'm not R430 but I do know that MattBomerFan.com was run by Kelly from 2009 - 2014 and then Luciana took over from 2015-Present. All she said was that Kelly was too busy with her real life to do it so she handed it over to her along with the Twitter account.
[quote]Always find it weird when some tweet @ him directly and call him "Matty". He's not your friend, don't call him by his nickname.
I don't think that's any different than calling Sandra Bullock, "Sandy." He has actual nick names that only his friends call him and that isn't one of them. There's many reasons to be annoyed with them but I don't think that's one of them.
It doesn't matter what those other women do online. He knows enough to stay away from playing games with them. It's embarrassing but I doubt he loses sleep over it. It will die down since he has returned to his normal private life and doesn't see fans every day.
Every celeb uses their fans R436 but he proved that he's willing to go a bit above and beyond when dealing with them and he's never rude to them which you can't say about most celebs. He has always seemed very appreciative which is all you can ask.

Someone pointed this out before R448. He's not like Gus Kenworthy, Troye Sivan, Adam Rippon, or even someone like Shawn Mendes who isn't openly gay but still has a gay fanbase.
He's older than all of those guys (youth is important sadly), he's married with kids and has been for a long time but even more important than all of that he didn't initially market himself that way. He was, up until a certain point, only the love interest of the straight female character. That's why he has the fan base he has. He would have had to of played it differently from the start but then he wouldn't be where he is now.
Also most celebs with gay fanbases who are also gay aren't usually actors. You can get away with being a gay singer, writer, fashion icon or comedian, but being a gay actor is a different beast.
A couple of rare exceptions would be Ezra Miller (who is technically fluid) & Sir Ian McKellan who is mostly known for his biting humor.

Duckling really doesn’t offer much for gay fans, he is at the age where being things like witty and charismatic and telling funny anecdotes on talk shows carry more weight than having a big ass and cheekbones. His gay appeal sort of peaked at Magic Mike.

He seems to be already planning for a life on the other side of the camera by talking up his desire to continue to direct things. Lots of actors do it but not many talk it up as much as he has. I'm sure he'll always act but at least now he'll be able to do other things in between projects.
He'd also make a very fine producer if he wants to try that again outside of attempting to get Montgomery Clift to the screen with his good looks, charm and connections he should be good at getting financing for a film.
While I believe he'll always be handsome, it seems like he has to put in a lot of work to look the way he does or as TBITB cast said, "He doesn't eat!" Maybe he'll want to take a break from that at some point.
He has been asked and has never denied that his attractiveness doesn't have some negatives. You can't be a supporting actor when you have leading actor looks like his. As he ages I think he'll get more interesting roles like "Walking Out." That was a role he couldn't have played at any other time in his career.

R455 most actors/singers/models don't have the most healthiest relationship with food. When you're on screen or photographed a lot, there's a lot of pressure to look good at all times. Matt seems to have done extreme dieting for some roles. Someone from the Anything film said he was living on 400 calories a day. That's just an unnecessary health risk to put yourself through, especially for a small indie movie no one will see.

Andrew posted that he was taking Charlie Carver since he had never been before. Matt was already back in LA at that point and commented on the instagram post with likes and claps.
It does say something that Matt spent his last night in NYC with Michael B about their friendship. He also said previously on that podcast interview that the cast didn't all hang out and talk to one another before the show but he did talk to Zachary Quinto and him. It's great that he has such long lasting friendships. Michael B was also the only cast member to add a picture of Matt into their final night goodbye posts since he was strangely absent from their photos from that night except in the background of that one looking away from the camera.

R490 a lot of the time for IG ads, the money is usually dependent on the amount of followers a celeb has. Read once that is if an influencer had 100,000 followers, they could get 5K per post. I imagine it's a decent fee he gets. All those 7ForMankind were all sponsored content too, he just didn't state it.
R491 I think a few interviews indicated that he was around before the twins were born. For a good chunk of the twins early life he was away for half of the year so it makes sense he could be a little closer to the eldest son.

Ultimately the reason the Will love interest is not exciting is because Duckling needs to play off an eccentric to compensate for a certain vacuous rigidity. Sort of how nobody cared for Monica until she started dating Chandler.

I still maintain if he was smart enough to hide his husband and kids + previous boyfriends from the public for years he would have been smart enough not to let anyone get an inkling that he might have been fucking Andrew if he had of been. He didn't see anything wrong with the touchy feely behavior from Andrew because they all were like that and nothing was actually going on but then people started calling him out on it after Cohen.
It's obvious he made Andrew back off. Their behavior around each other was noticeably different after that appearance.
If anything it seems like Andrew might have had a thing with Charlie but they were both at Fire Island with one Andrew's ex-flings who is a theater actor. He may still be with him. That I'm not sure about but they were dating a few months ago.

You're a troll, R526. Everyone from Madonna to Demi Moore, Britney Spears and Patti LuPone have guested on the show. It's considered a prestige thing for celebs with gay fans.
[quote]he went to town on Zachary Quinto's bday with his IG post.
No one spotted him with Andrew outside of show related events and functions. He was spotted with Zachary Quinto, his boyfriend, Michael B and Jim Parsons away from the show. While I'm sure they're friends, Andrew obviously has his own friend group. They're probably friends in the same way he and Gaga are friends. None of the pictures he posted were even personal ones that he took of the two of them that weren't from an event.
[quote]Probably lining up more work Broadway, but even Zachary Quinto said that he doesn't do as much as he wants on Broadway because he gets better money on TV/film.
His family lives in LA and he can't fly home every weekend like he did when he was on White Collar. Tuc Watkins brought his kids with him and the rest of the cast didn't have that factor. It's probably not a good idea to do more Broadway until next summer if even then. I can't imagine him turning around and disappearing for 4 months again so soon. It took Ryan Murphy to get him to do TBITB in the first place.
People forget that (since he committed to TBITB last summer) if there were any film or tv projects he wanted to do that were in production during that time, he had to turn them down. He couldn't work on anything for months. If The Last Tycoon hadn't of been canceled he would have went right back to that show after the production. It's better for an actor to keep their options open.

His pay rate, I don't even know why we're talking about this, is based on a few factors:
1. Network or cable. The show is a Network show. They always pay more can a cable guest apperance.
2. How many days he's going to work. Some actors have a rate for just working one day. Adam Rippon is probably just working one day. Matt is probably working more than just one day. He'll get paid for all 8 or so days of production whether he physically works every day or not. It's a tv show so he'll at least be in around 3 scenes.
3. How much his agent negotiates for him. He's not just anybody.
He'd be a "top of the show" Special Guest Star role performer. So [bold]minimum[/bold] he's required to get around 6K but he's also Matt Bomer. So he could be getting [bold]anywhere[/bold] from 6 to 20K+ for the episode. You just don't know. He's not going to make more than an actual star of the show but the only reason he's on the show is because he is a star.
The leads on Will and Grace make the same amount, last year it was 250K an episode. Katie Holmes once did a guest appearance for 75K for an episode of a show. I'd think Matt could at least get 20K-35K but if you think he'd be making the minimum rate for that appearance at less than 10K, that's unlikely.

R534 = idiot
"Along with the rise of co-starring roles that pay for 1-2 days of work, more and more episodic casting notices come with a note, “Won’t Break Top of Show,” meaning that even name guest stars in major roles won’t get more than the top of show quote of approx. $8,000 or less (depending on the show). There are creative ways to get around it with crafty payments to actors that a series really wants, and there still are the rare Special Guest Stars that could go as high as $20,000-$25,000 an episode, but overall, “most actors working today don’t break top of show,” one talent representative said. Additionally, many out-of-town series rely heavily on local hires for guest roles."

He'll probably make more on his sponsored Target posts than on his appearance on the show. Actress Busy Phillips said in an interview last year that sponsored posts and IG affiliations made her more money when she had quiet acting months. Makes sense to see Matt do a bit more ads over the summer. While I'm he and the other 3 leads got paid decently for the play, probably not as much as you'd get on a series.

Didn't those Jenner women became multi millionaires because of their massive Instagram following?. I guess ads pay well. Matt gotta find another TV show.

Post Note R535, nearly everything you've ever posted on Datalounge has been wrong.
It's sad that you feel like you have to do this. With that, I'm out!

R540 how ca you tell what R535 posted? To me, all the posts are anonymous.
by Anonymous | reply 541 | August 25, 2018 11:34 AM |
R541, to the right side of the screen are three buttons if you click:
WW = Wit and Wisdom, that means you like the post and the person who posted it will get a notification that someone liked the post when they log on if you have browser notifications on. For instance, I just liked your post to show you. If your notifications are on it will pop up at the bottom or top of your screen.
FF = Flames and Freaks, that means the webmaster will be notified that the person is causing trouble and that he should look at the post and the thread. If enough people click it, then the person gets grey lined, ALL of their posts get put into the webmaster log with a reason why (it's at the bottom of the post) and they get banned from Datalounge like R23/R27/Creepy Murder Stalker Person did. Sometimes people get banned if the webmaster gets a notice that you're causing trouble from just seeing the post themselves or a celeb's representatives.
Head with No Symbol = Ignore, if you click that the person gets ignored and all of their posts disappear.
That's how you can tell who is posting what even if the board is anonymous.

Almost afraid to ask but what's he likely to make for his directing gig? Read before that for hour-long shows typically earn the director 42K.

R542 thanks! I don't come/post often, so I'm not very familiar with the site.
Re FF: I'm not sure if I like that feature. I've noticed that many posts that are crossed out are rather harmless. I feel like people abuse it and just FF a post that offends them even if it wasn't meant to be offensive. Perhaps people are using it like the thumbs up/down on YouTube? Whatever the case, I just feel like it's another attempt to shut down meaningful conversation. These days, people would rather silence another viewpoint than talk it out.

R545, just because the posts look harmless in the thread you're in doesn't mean they didn't post something bad in another thread that's not showing up in the poster's history. There's usually a reason.
Back to Matt. There's still no trailer for Papi Chulo but I'm excited for the movie. I also noticed John Butler ignored tweets asking if Matt was going to be at TIFF. It doesn't seem like he confirmed with them or The Viper Club people yet.

R547 He responded to someone on IG saying that it wasn't his news to tell, which is fair. He's the director of the film, he's hardly there to confirm Matt schedule lol. It's likely that Matt may go since he's the lead and it's getting a Special Presentation too. The Toronto Film Festival is a big deal. Although he said he had some directing work coming up soon so that could keep him busy.

He doesn't "have" to shill.
He wants to shill.
He has always liked his free stuff. You can find many photos of him at events over the past decade where he was just there to get free stuff in exchange for appearing.
I think that makes him more normal. He also is getting paid for those and doesn't have to do much so why not do it?
I think the real problem is that most of his content consists of him doing ads in comparison to posting just photos of himself doing anything at all. At least this time he tried to post a photo that wasn't an ad before posting the ad.

I don't mind production placement in films/TV shows, if done properly. In fact, I prefer actual products than made-up ones. However, it has to be natural, like someone casually ordering a Coors Light when entering a bar instead of the generic "beer" we usually hear from characters.
by Anonymous | reply 571 | August 28, 2018 7:11 PM |
My favorite instagram pics of him are just ones where he's being completely normal. Not posing with celebrity friends or ones where he's posting his old fashion shoots.
He used to post normal pics of him on Twitter years ago when he would post. Not everything has to be work related. Halle Berry's instagram looks like a professional photographer took every photo but it's still just Halle working out and playing her with kids.
I really liked this photo when he posted it and it got more attention than some of the stuff he has posted recently because people connected with it.

R573, you're bored again, aren't you?
Ever since 2015 or earlier anytime someone says something nice about Matt or people are being supportive you appear, call him Duckling several times and make up things about him. Remember the time you posted that his "star meter" on IMDb had fallen because you couldn't think of anything negative to say?
R574 is right. You've never stopped talking about him and it has been years. He's a successful gay man with a husband and children. He is loved by many. Maybe you should go out and try and get some of those things for yourself instead of constantly chastising him because he exists.

I'm sure those Target ads pay well. Those indie movies aren't going pay private-school fees for three kids. You swear he was the only celeb to do sponsored posts or include his kids in. He didn't even show their faces.
His social media usage is primarily a PR tool for himself. His rare personal posts are decent. It's shame he doesn't share of his personality online but it seems like something he really refrains from.

All sponsored posts are cringe-worthy. No one comes across cool doing them. But its easy money. For actors that aren't big movie stars that can rake in millions per movie, I'm sure IG ads are easy money and can take the pressure off when they aren't working much.
