In a recent
interview, "Magic Mike XXL"
star Matt Bomer didn't hesitate to let a Hola Hollywood reporter know that her
gay-specific question made him uncomfortable.
When Dulce
Osuna asked if the gay community was harder to please than the general
population in terms of movies, Bomer, 37, turned visibly agitated, and
then responded, "Why would I ever try to boil down an entire community
into a yes or no question? Would you feel comfortable IF I said, 'Are women
harder or easier to please?"
He clarified
that the message of the movie, which hit theaters July 1, was about breaking
down stereotypes around sexuality and gender.
"One of
the things, I think, you learn from this movie is that everyone is
different," he said. "It's all about communication and a dialogue
between individuals -- get rid of the labels, get rid of the shame, get rid of
the stigmas and just be your most authentic self."
All-inclusive
message or not, women
comprised 96 percent of the opening weekend audience for "Magic
Mike XXL," which The Hollywood Reporter called "unheard
of."
Good for Matt!
