Matt Bomer outside the Live! With Kelly studios
So when it comes to meeting Matt Bomer, the fifth time is apparently the charm for me! I’ve tried to meet him at 3 different events (including the USA Network upfront), and 2 different set visits, only to be out of luck for various reasons each time.
I found out last week that he was going to be at Live! With Kelly to promote the newest season of White Collar, and decided to take one more chance and hopefully meet him outside the studios. I pretty much resigned myself to giving up if it didn’t happen this time… I wound up meeting with 3 fans of White Collar who I’ve become friends with on Twitter, and waited for Matt to exit after his appearance. There was a pretty decent crowd there for him and I was glad I had some friends there to help pass the time.
Matt being flaw-free outside the Live! with Kelly studios:
Luckily the studio has a large TV screen near one of their windows, so we were able to see Matt come out and start talking with Kelly and Seth Meyers, who was her co-host this week. As some time went by, I noticed that several autograph sellers showed up. These are the folks that basically get pictures signed by celebs, only to sell them on ebay. A few of them came over to the fans and started saying that Matt wasn’t really inside the studio at all, and that his appearance was actually taped last week. Us fans were pretty stunned and upset.. I honestly didn’t believe it, since the whole story didn’t seem to add up. But the autograph guys kept insisting that he had really taped last week, and that one of their colleagues had just called & told them that Matt was already on the White Collar set on 46th Street and 6th Avenue. Needless to say, I was really upset at hearing this. I was sure I was never going to meet Matt at this point and was almost about to leave. I decided to hold out some hope and stick around for a few extra minutes, but my 3 friends decided to leave and head over to the White Collar set instead. I wasn’t able to join them since I didn’t take the whole day off of work. And actually, many fans wound up leaving as well. The crowd was cut in half upon hearing he wasn’t there at all. So as I mentioned, I stuck around for a little longer, only to lose more hope…
After about 10 minutes, I was THISCLOSE to leaving & heading to work, when all of a sudden, Matt appeared! Everyone who was still there pretty much gasped and scrambled to get their cameras back out, etc. I ran up to Matt and asked a nice random woman to please take a picture of us with my camera. As I waited for him to finish signing something, another lady yelled out, “The movie shoulda been called Magic Matt, not Magic Mike!” Everyone laughed that comment, including Matt lol. So, can I just say that I was so flustered, that I forgot to put on my lip gloss and comb my hair again for the picture lol. Oh well!
I think the pic came out pretty well, and I also got a couple great shots of Matt signing for fans… He is so flawless and kind. I’m hoping to visit the White Collar set at some point to meet the rest of the cast, but I’m very happed that I completed my mission and got to meet Matt…Finally!! :)
