Matt Bomer had a 2022 crowded in 2022, turning the acclaimed Roman drama “Fellow Travelers” and the “Maestro” nominated with Oscars. It could have been even more busy if he had tightened by playing a ken in “Barbie”, but he has no regrets to refuse this.
Bomer previously revealed to Vanity Fair that he had auditioned to play one of the Kens in the success of Greta Gerwig, but finally moved out of the occasion because it would have needed too much time away from his family (Bomer shares two children with her husband, Simon Halls) with his other reserved roles.
The film continued more than a billion dollars worldwide and has become a cultural feeling. But with hindsight, Bomer is always confident in his decision to concentrate fully on the biopic of Leonard Bernstein by Bradley Cooper, “Maestro”, in which he played the lover of Bernstein, David Oppenheim. The actor told Bi that it would have been too difficult to tighten “Barbie” between his intense collaborative time on “Maestro”.
“Even if my role in” Maestro “was smaller, Bradley was so collaborative with me from the start,” said Bomer about Cooper. “And it was such an immersive experience to have stolen from London to film my scenes (in` Barbie ”) and return to London – I have the impression that ‘Maestro’ would not have been the same experience for me. “
Bomer describes his experience of “maestro” as a life change, saying that it has shaped the way he works as a dramatic actor “for the rest of my career on the film.”
“It was a way of working that I am really grateful to have been exposed,” he said. “I wouldn’t have, I think, if I was trying to press it.”
