Matt Bomer Was Left Naked On A Broadway Stage

Actor Matt Bomer is just one of the many reasons you should see The Boys in the Band in NYC. He sat down with Jimmy Fallon to talk about the play and the changes that have happened in gay rights since the play was first produced in 1968. He also casually mentioned the time he was left naked on stage with nothing - not even a towel.

The incident happened during the third preview of the show, when Bomer's character is supposed to take a shower on stage. He entered the shower, did his part, then realized the prop crew had forgotten to leave a towel for him to dry off afterward.

He found himself in quite the predicament.

"I had the choice to either do the rest of the 10-minute scene butt-naked, which would not have made any sense. Or, there’s like a glass partition, so I had to kind of coyly reach around and grab my tighty-whities and put them back on my soaking wet body, and then do the rest of the scene in wet tighty-whities."

Nudity isn't anything new to Matt, so I'm sure if performing an entire scene in his birthday suit was his only option, he'd take one for the team. There's also no doubt that there's a big difference between being nude on stage and showing some cheek in front of a camera, like he did in 2014's The Normal Heart. 

Moments like the shower fiasco are probably why he prefers baths anyway.
