Actor Matt Bomer, who is raising three
children with his longtime partner, has said his family helps keep
him grounded.
Bomer, the star of USA Network's White
Collar, officially came out last February when he thanked his
partner Simon Halls and their children for their love and continued
support in accepting an award in Palm Springs for his HIV/AIDS
advocacy.
In a cover story for men's fashion
glossy Da Man, Bomer is asked how he keeps sane in Hollywood.
“Having a life outside of the
business that grounds you,” he answered. “For me, it's my
family. They always come first, and always will.”
Bomer will next co-star in Director
Ryan Murphy's film adaptation of Larry Kramer's Tony-winning play The
Normal Heart.
“In April, I go back to season 5 of
White Collar. And then I film The Normal Heart, which
is about the early days of the AIDS epidemic in New York, and the
people who were brave enough to risk their lives and careers to bring
much needed attention to it. It's a testament to passion and
unconditional love.”
Bomer will play gay fashion journalist
Felix Turner in the movie being produced by HBO.
