Matt Bomer can’t play transgender character because he’s not transgender ?
Who knew that Matt Bomer could create all this outrage because he is playing a transgender woman.
Matt Bomer and John Carroll Lynch are starring in the transgender drama “Anything” with Timothy McNeil making his feature directorial debut, variety.com reports.
The last few days you have heard that out gay actor Matt Bomer are gonna play transgender woman in a upcoming movie called Anything and the news hasn’t been received well by some. It’s not because he is gay, it’s not that the critics means he is a bad actor – it’s because he’s not transgender.
Let’s play with this scenario :
If someone said Matt Bomer can’t play a straight guy, because he is gay. what would the same people said then ? Of course he can play a straight character.
If someone said Matt Bomer can’t play a bisexual guy, because he is not bisexual.
Yes it’s sounds ridiculous right ?
Someone that wants to create a movie usually ( assume always) has a vision of the character and you ending up with the actor that will fill the shoes of the vision – it makes sense right ? – so if Matt Bomer makes the vision come true wouldn’t you choose him too right? or would have chosen a transgender actor just on the merit that the person is transgender , just being political correct ?
It’s sad that Matt Bomer is attacked in this way by some in the transgender community and who knew that choosing Matt Bomer would be this big controversy ?
I think he will be great in the movie “Anything” looking forward to see the result.
