White Collar star Matt Bomer came out (sort) of while accepting an award in Palm Springs on Saturday. He was the recipient of the Steve Chase Humanitarian Awards’ New Generation Arts and Activism Award for his efforts in the fight against HIV/AIDS. During his speech, Bomer, 34, said:
I’d really especially like to thank my beautiful family: Simon, Kit, Walker, Henry. Thank you for teaching me what unconditional love is. You will always be my proudest accomplishment.
The Hollywood Reporter reports that “Bomer’s partner, Hall, is a publicist with Slate PR. He represents Ryan Murphy, Neil Patrick Harris and such production companies as Working Title.”
Here’s video of his speech:
Bomer was previous not out (at least officially). The Hollywood Reporter said he ”has previously declined comment when asked about his love life. In its January 2010 issue, Details magazine asked the actor if he cared about the rumors questioning if he was gay. He responded: ‘I don’t care about that at all. I’m completely happy and fulfilled in my personal life.’”
In addition to his starring role on USA’s White Collar, Boomer is set to play the older brother of Darren Criss’s Blaine on Glee and to star in male-stripper film Magic Mike. He’s also set to play a gay character in the film adaption of The Normal Heart.
