October 23, 2012: Setting the Gay Rumor Straight on Matt Bomer Story

Matt Bomer Earlier this week we reported on the news that famed author Jackie Collins told GaydarRadio.com that the reason actor Matt Bomer missed out on the role of Superman was because of his sexuality. Now E! Online stepped in to find out just what the real story is on all of this from a source close to Bomer...

    "Matt was Brett [Ratner]'s Superman," the source says. "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."

As we know, Brett Ratner stepped out and in stepped Bryan Singer to make "Superman Returns" with Brandon Routh.

So what did Jackie Collins have to say for herself once E! Online contacted her?

    Collins says a "Hollywood exec" told her the story about Bomer "ages ago."

    "You can't trust them I guess," the author said in a statement this morning. "I have more faith in Santa Claus now than I do an exec."

E! Online were unable to get a comment from either Bomer or his agent.
