Matt Bomer in Magic Mike made all of our dreams come true! Before Matt was playing the part of eye candy male dancer "Ken", he had built up quite an impressive resume in Hollywood! Born October 11, 1977, Matt Bomer, who is a distant cousin to singer Justin Timberlake, would start performing in high school.

At the age of 17, Matt would make his professional debut on stage in a production of A Streetcar Named Desire, and around the same time that he graduated from university, he also moved to NYC to land the part of "Ian Kipling" on daytime soap opera All My Children.

Matt Bomer Today

The Boys in the Band takes place in 1968 New York City when being gay still wasn't widely accepted by society. While Matt's character "Donald" struggles with the conformities of the 1960s and 70s, Matt Bomer is a tad bit luckier in today's times. Matt has been out publicly since 2012 and has been happily married to his husband, publicist Simon Halls since 2011. 

The couple is raising Hall's three sons conceived through surrogacy together and couldn't be happier! While LGBTQ+ rights still have a ways to go, Matt Bomer has helped to pave the way for future couples. We wish the now 46-year-old a happy birthday and are celebrating by rewatching Matt Bomer in Magic Mike
