These days, gay actor Matthew Bomer is everywhere – on movie posters, television’s "White Collar" bus-stop posters, subbing for Kathie Lee Gifford on "Today", singing at the Kennedy Center – the list goes on. He costars with Justin Timberlake in a new film that opened yesterday, “In Time.” (Trailer and description at end of post).

Despite being a professional Jack-of-all-Trades, though, Bomer has made a point of keeping his private life away from public scrutiny. Fans were surprised when the 33-year-old actor gave a shout out on "Today" to his three children, Kit (age 5) and 3-year-old twins Walker and Henry (photo at end of post). Asked how he juggles the family and his busy work schedule, Bomer says, "I fly home and fly back, and I have a great support team. It's a beautiful thing."

Though Bomer doesn't speak about his homosexual relationship publicly, he raises the children with partner Simon Hall, who regularly attends celebrity and publicity events with Bomer.

In this clip from the Hollywood premiere of “In Time” last week, Bomer answers questions about his role.



In Time (synopsis):
Set in a world where people stop aging at 25, but are genetically-engineered to live only one more year, having the means to buy your way out of the situation is a shot at immortal youth. In the not-too-distant future the aging gene has been switched off. To avoid overpopulation, time has become the currency and the way people pay for both luxuries and necessities. The rich can live forever, while the rest try to negotiate for their immortality. Will Salas, a poor young man (Justin Timberlake) comes into a fortune of time, though too late to help keep his mother from dying. One day, Will has a conversation with a morose man named Henry Hamilton (Matt Bomer), who explains that he is 105 years old and has another century in the bank. He's tired of living. Their conversation drags on into philosophical depths, until both fall asleep. Will awakens with an extra century on his clock and looks out the window to see Henry preparing to jump from a bridge. He runs out to stop him, is too late and is caught by a security camera, making him a suspect in the man's death. Will ends up eluding a corrupt police force known as 'time keepers.' He is forced to go on the run with a beautiful hostage (the token girl in the all-action flick). Living minute to minute, the duo's love becomes a powerful tool in their war against the system.

Here’s the trailer (keep a keen eye out for the 1967 vintage silver Jaguar XKE convertible).
