See White Collar’s Matt Bomer Hold Court at the U.S. Open
Matt Bomer has joined a host of celebrities who have shown up at the U.S. Open in New York, from Taylor Swift to Hugh Jackman.
White Collar star Matt Bomer delighted fans with a recent appearance at the U.S. Open. Looking dapper in a blue jacket and white pants, the beloved TV actor came out to enjoy some top-notch tennis at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York on August 27.
The legendary tennis tournament is celebrating its 145 year, running from August 18 through September 7, and Bomer was one of many celebrities seen cheering on the athletes in person. Hugh Jackman, Cynthia Erivo, Jason Bateman, Simone Biles, and Taylor Swift (cuddling with fiancé Travis Kelce) were all also spotted courtside at the star-studded sporting event.
Bomer played the charming art swindler turned FBI assistant Neal Caffrey on USA Network's White Collar, a police procedural set in the Big Apple.
When Bomer posted a snap of himself at the U.S. Open on Instagram, at least one fan couldn’t help but comment, “Bring back White Collar!”
Rumors have swirled for years about a reboot of the captivating crime drama, which ended in 2014, but so far, there’s no official word that it's happening. For now, Bomer is on to something entirely different: his first sitcom.
What is Matt Bomer up to now?
Currently, Bomer stars on Mid-Century Modern, a sitcom that debuted earlier this year from the creators of Will & Grace. The show chronicles the lives of three gay, longtime friends who become roommates. Also featuring Nathan Lane (The Birdcage) and Nathan Lee Graham (Zoolander), the show follows the trio as they move into a mid-century modern home in sunny Palm Springs, California, and navigates themes such as love, loss, and living with your chosen family.
“We’re able to tackle some bigger issues but washing it all down with a lot of laughter in the process," Bomer told Forbes for a March story.
This is Bomer’s first star turn on a sitcom, coming after his Peabody Award-winning role in the gripping historical drama, Fellow Travelers, which he also produced.
Is there a chance he would return to the dramatic fold anytime soon, perhaps as a dashing former art forger? The answer is an enthusiastic yes. “I would do it in a heartbeat,” he said of reprising his breakout role on White Collar during a guest appearance on The Tonight Show. “That was my first television family.”
