30 Reasons Matt Bomer Is So Sexy It Hurts

When you see Magic Mike XXL — because, let's face it, it's inevitable — you might need an oxygen mask for the hotness that is Matt Bomer. Sure, all the guys have moves and look damn fine in their birthday suits, but watch Matt sing and strip to "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" by D'Angelo, and I DARE you not find yourself short of breath.

If you're unaware (or just need a few reminders) of what makes the White Collar star worthy of a shower of dollar bills, we are sharing some of the many reasons why we find him so crush-worthy. Before he stripped it all off with the shirtless gang of Magic Mike, Matt was flying under the radar with his gorgeous good looks and baby blues. But the cat's out of the bag! From his charity work to the sentimental way he came out of the closet, here are 30 reasons in photos and GIFs why we love Matt Bomer!

Those Abs

Matt bared his hot bod in Magic Mike as one of the male strippers, and boy, oh boy, does he have a hot bod. But it wasn't all fun and games showing so much skin . . . there was hot wax involved too. He said, "We all had to go there. I'm not going to say it was fun, and personally I will never do it again, but for that project, it was necessary. We were all in the boat together." We'd definitely tuck some dollar bills in his sailor suit.

He Could Totally Be Christian Grey

A fake Entertainment Weekly cover got our hopes up that Matt could star as Christian Grey in the Fifty Shades of Grey movie. Matt as a domineering BDSM sex freak? We would watch that.

We got to see Matt's mad singing and dancing skills when he guest-starred on Glee as Blaine's older brother. Our favorite line from the episode? Kurt saying, "Blaine, your brother is the best-looking man in North America." We agree!
