30 Times Actors Lost Roles For Reasons That Will Make Your Heart Shatter Into A Million Pieces

Previously, author Jackie Collins told Gaydar Radio, “Matt Bomer, who is the most gorgeous looking guy and the star ofWhite Collar, he had not come out of the closet, but people in the know knew he was gay. His audition tape went in, and he called up the agent, and somebody didn’t like him and told [the producers] he was gay. They said, ‘No, no, we can’t cast you.’ The reason he didn’t get cast was because he was gay.”

At the time, a source alleged to E!, “Matt was Brett [Ratner]’s Superman. He would never have not cast Matt because he’s gay. Brett knew Matt was gay. They’re good friends. Matt not being Superman had nothing to do with his sexuality. It was because the director changed.”

Warner Bros. didn’t respond to BuzzFeed‘s request for comment.
