Where can I get Neal’s leather jacket (from episode Mr Black)??

. Looking forward to seeing anybody’s reply.

It would be wonderful if he could talk openly with regard to his own family: his partner, his children, his life. I know he prefers to keep it from the press and I respect that completely, but even a sentence that says, “my partner and I took to kids to Disney World last week”, is prohibitive at this point and it must hurt to not be able to brag about those you love so much.

Check USA Network’s web site. For season two they had a page on their web site under White Collar that described the fashion styles worn by the characters in each episode. It should at least tell you the brand name. As the show’s costume designer shops at high end fashion stores in NYC for Neal, I don’t know if that jacket would still be available as it was likely last season’s, but good luck.

I totally agree, Mary.
In fact, I feel exactly what you are describing just comparing his answers to Cheyenne Jackson’s. It does evoke empathy, doesn’t it? Just makes me wanna hug him. But yeah, fine, different stories, different situations, different responses (and we’re probably all to blame, kind of). Still, one day. In fact, I firmly believe that this kind of support and empathy should make people see that celebrities CAN actually be more laid-back.

I’m totally supportive of Matt’s decisions since his life and family and what’s best for them are his primary concerns and it seems he’s made very good decisions so far.

Kudos to MATT!
can you catch the DL for the vid?

Oh, please…

Mary, I didn’t realize you knew Matt Bomer so well that you could speak to his personal pain. Please feel free to tell the everyone everything you know about his troubled inner life.

Bottom line is that no one here knows Matt Bomer. Not you, not me. He shares his personal life with the people that matter — his family and friends. Don’t presume that because he doesn’t “brag” about it to the public — i.e. to YOU — that “it must hurt”. Crap.

It was terrific to see so many people — Matt Bomer AND John Lithgow, Joe Mantello, Ellen Barkin, Rob Reiner, Morgan Freeman, Christine Lahti, Cheyenne Jackson, Bradley Whitford, Dustin Lance Black, etc. — coming together to support equality for all. Let’s particularly recognize the courage and determination of the two couples who brought the suit against Prop 8 — Sandy Steir and Kris Perry, Jeff Zarrillo and Paul Katami — and their families. Let’s also acknowledge the efforts and diligence of their attorneys, Ted Olson and David Boies.

If you genuinely support equality for EVERYONE, then DO something about it. But don’t turn Matt into either a martyr or a saint. I’d bet neither view would sit well with him.

Dev, I don’t think Mary was presuming to know him. She said that it “must hurt” when one isn’t able to brag. It’s not necessarily his case though. That’s more about how it makes her feel than anything else I guess.

Dev, how did you get that from what Mary said? If you are such a HUGE fan of Matt you must be blind or sociopathic to not notice how uncomfortable he looks when the cast mates talk freely about their family-we are not talking randomly but when a frigging tv presenter asks them!

It’s no surprise that a few weeks after the cast were asked about their kids-De Kay-on the TV show and Matt didn’t say anything that he then told everyone on the today show with Koda, that he was a father of 3.

I agree R, it’s plain as day that Matt feels uncomfortable at times holding back on talking about his family. I don’t think it would matter if he was just doing White Collar, but clearly he wants to do movies too, and he must feel that it would hurt him in getting roles.

I feel uncomfortable talking about his personal life here since as someone said we do not know him but WC is Matt’s big break but so much better in store for him.For anyone wanting leading man roles,and Matt is obviously leading man material,sadly personal details still hurt.People always point to Neil P Harris as succusful but he is not leading man material like Matt so is much easier to discuss and now flaunt for him.

Claire: That is precisely the point I’m making, that it is her personal feeling and that this is not the forum for the discussion of her “feelings”. Or Matt’s feelings for that matter.

R: Let’s not do the “you’re not a real fan of Matt’s” crap — it smacks of a bunch of teenage boys bragging about whose is bigger — and skip the ad hominem attacks like “you must be blind or sociopathic”. We can do better.

Yes, I have noticed how nervous and uncomfortable Matt is in interviews when talking about basically anything — the fidgeting, the licking of lips, the scratching. I just don’t draw any conclusions and then discuss it with everyone. As to the question of his family in his guest host appearance with Hoda, it was she who brought it up, not him. He handled the question with grace. Perhaps he’s getting more experienced and better at handling interviews? Who knows? Again I don’t presume to draw any conclusions about his state of mind and personal life and then flap my gums about it.

Collar: I’m extremely uncomfortable discussing Matt’s personal life, hence my reaction to various posts and my attempt to it back to the point that is really important. I regret having used sarcasm (a reason why one should never post in the wee hours).

So, yes, let’s stop discussing Matt’s feelings and his personal life, okay? Thank you.

@Dev – He is such a nice person I think it best we stop.
