Matt Bomer, known for his versatility and depth in acting, recently made headlines with his “Fellow Travelers” co-star Jonathan Bailey, following a unique on-screen moment that has solidified their friendship for life. Their performance in the series, which delves into the complexities of LGBTQ+ relationships through decades of American history, has been both critically acclaimed and personally transformative.
In “Fellow Travelers,” Bomer portrays Hawk Fuller, a closeted man navigating the treacherous waters of love and identity in a less accepting era. His co-star, Bailey, plays Tim Laughlin, contributing to a narrative rich with emotional depth and historical context. Their on-screen chemistry and dedication to portraying the nuanced layers of their characters have been a significant talking point, especially following a particularly intimate scene that left audiences and critics alike both shocked and moved.
Matt Bomer told People that the intimate scenes in the film, including one where Bailey’s character Tim sucks on the toes of Bomer’s character Hawk, made lasting impression.
“We are bonded for life, for sure, as friends after having gone through this together,” he said. “So it’s a very sacred friendship for me. I love Jonathan.”
So would Bomer have sucked Baileys toes?
“That wasn’t in the script! We did what was in the script,” Bomer answered to a direct question from People.
Off-screen, Bomer’s life continues to be as eventful and fulfilling. His recent outings with husband Simon Halls highlight a stable and loving personal life that contrasts with the tumultuous relationships he often portrays on screen. This juxtaposition between Bomer’s professional and personal life adds an intriguing layer to his public persona, making his performances all the more compelling.
