The amount why'sI said out lout when reading this title.

Sounds like somebody in the industry outed him so that their client would get the job.

Bummer tbh. He could make it work in em old skool classic Superman remake for an modern era tv series adaptation. He has that lewks for that specifically. Especially if it’s like the mad men version of Superman or something. If this possibly makes sense. Ahh well. Hope all is going well for him tho 🙏🏾

I would so watch that

It’s a shame, I remember reading comments on here in the past talking about how his film career never did seem to take off the way that you would have expected after White Collar, and that it almost certainly stalled because of him being publicly outed
