Matt Bomer Opens Up About Starring in the Upcoming Season of 'The Sinner'

Matt Bomer is on the cover of the latest issue of Parade, out now.

Here’s what the 42-year-old Magic Mike star had to say…

On playing football in high school: “There was not a sparkling, bright future for me in that sport, so I stopped playing and started working in theater my senior year.”

On the Super Bowl: “I love the commercials—I think they’re fantastic and so creative in what they do with that little window of time…we have three boys under the age of 15, so it’s hard to get everybody to be quiet.”

On starring in the upcoming season of The Sinner: “I’ve been a fan of the show, so it’s extra surreal to all of a sudden be in a scene across from a character you’ve enjoyed for two seasons. And for that character to be played by a great actor like Bill [Pullman], who I’ve admired for so many years, my main M.O. is just, ‘Matt, don’t mess this up!’”
