What Does Matt Bomer Smell Like? Nathan Lane Dishes on His ‘Handsome' Costar's Signature Scent
Matt Bomer smells just as yummy as he looks according to his costar Nathan Lane.
While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on March 11, Lane — who stars in the new Hulu series Mid-Century Modern (out March 28) with Bomer, 47, — confirmed that his castmate is just as handsome in real life ... and he smells good, too!
"Matt Bomer isabsolutely beautiful. He's just a lovey fella. Is he that sexy in person?" asked host Stephen Colbert. "Some people who are professionally attractive, you meet them in person [and ] they look like a bug."
"Yes, Matt is astonishingly handsome, like 24 hours a day. Maybe if you woke him up and he was a little cranky...but no, he's gorgeous. He smells good too," admitted Lane, 69.
This prompted Colbert to dig a little deeper, asking what exactly is Bomer's signature scent. "Cool Ranch Doritos," Lane joked, "No, Matt Bomer smells like the unattainable. Like the fresh-baked cookies in first class when you're riding in coach."

Bomer, who made PEOPLE's 2024 men of the year list for his power combo of A-plus acting skills (he's earned two Emmy nominations for Fellow Travelers and The Normal Heart) and sexy style and his very good looks.
The actor has become one to watch on the carpet, most recently at the 2025 Vanity Fair Oscar afterparty on March 2. He traded traditional menswear for a tailored black Valentino suit accessorized with a patterned scarf, neck tie, David Yurman jewels and a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch.
Bomer is also now a front-row fixture at Fashion Week, attending the Fendi fashion show in a cool blue suit and polka dot shirt on Feb. 26. He previously attended the Giorgio Armani Spring/Summer 2025 show in Milan in June 2024, flexing his biceps in a sleeveless vest.

There's only a couple of weeks left until Bomer returns to the small screen alongside Lane and Nathan Lee Graham for Mid-Century Modern. But back in August, the star teased what fans can expect of the new sitcom, which follows three gay best friends, who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs.
In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, Bomer described the show as the 'spiritual cousin' of The Golden Girls and that there will be nods to the beloved sitcom — which starred Bea Arthur, Betty White, Rue McClanahan and Estelle Getty — and many more Bomer "grew up loving."

Alex Cooper's alma mater responds after she accuses college soccer coach of sexual harassment
Days after Alex Cooper accused her former college soccer coach of sexual harassment, Boston University has responded. The host of the popular 'Call Her Daddy' podcast, who made the allegations in a two-part Hulu documentary that premiered Tuesday after screening Sunday at the Tribeca Film Festival, played Division I soccer at the university for three years, during which time Cooper claims coach Nancy Feldman made inappropriate comments about her body and sex life, engaged in controlling behavior and touched her thigh. 'Nancy Feldman was someone I trusted. Someone I believed in. Someone who was supposed to help me grow. Someone who was supposed to protect me,' Cooper wrote Thursday on Instagram. 'But instead she made my life a living hell and abused her power over me.' In the same post, Cooper said she reported the abuse to athletic director Drew Marrochello, who she said ignored her complaints. The university addressed the allegations in a statement obtained Thursday by People and other news outlets. 'Boston University has a zero-tolerance policy for sexual harassment. We have a robust system of resources, support and staff dedicated to student wellbeing and a thorough reporting process through our Equal Opportunity Office,' the statement reads. 'We encourage members of our community to report any concerns, and we remain committed to fostering a safe and secure campus environment for all.' While Cooper's documentary began as a way to show behind-the-scenes footage of her 2023 Unwell Tour, a visit to Boston University — specifically the soccer field — brought her emotions back to the surface, she said in Tuesday's brief episode of 'Call Her Daddy' titled 'My College Soccer Trauma.' 'The minute I stepped on that field, I felt so small,' Cooper said. 'I felt like I was 18 years old again, completely powerless, with no voice.' Cooper said 'everything changed' when she discovered that other women had alleged similar experiences with Feldman. She decided that she needed to speak out after talking to one of the women. 'If a woman in my position, who has power and a platform, is still fearful, is still scared of speaking out about my own lived experience of sexual harassment, how the hell will any other woman feel safe and confident to come forward?' Cooper asked in the episode. Since 'Call Her Alex' premiered, TikTok user @sizzlinghotsarah shared her own experience with Feldman, alleging that the soccer coach harassed her for her sexuality. Cooper responded to the post, 'I'm sick I'm so sorry she did this to you. Reaching out to u privately.' Feldman retired in 2022, but Cooper claims the harassment continues under her successor. 'Call Her Alex' also traces her journey to becoming one of the top podcasters in the world. Featured in the documentary are Cooper's former co-host Sofia Franklyn, husband Matt Kaplan, lifelong friend Lauren McMullen, who is an executive producer on the podcast, and Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstool Sports — the previous home of 'Call Her Daddy.' Cooper has become known for her revelatory interviews with everyone from Hailey Bieber and Paris Hilton to Monica Lewinsky and Jane Goodall. Last year, Cooper sat down with then-Vice President and presidential hopeful Kamala Harris — chronicled in the documentary. Cooper created her own podcast network, Unwell, in 2023 and has hired emerging talent including Madeline Argy, Owen Thiele and Alix Earle, who abruptly left in February. In August 2024, Cooper signed a $125-million deal with SiriusXM.

The Traitors Cast Including Michael Rapaport Causes Backlash
Peacock just announced the cast of Season 4 of The Traitors, and so far, the response has not been great. You expect a random mix of celebrities for this show, but some fans think the show took things a step in the wrong direction by adding Michael Rapaport to the cast. If Peacock's goal was to get people talking, it definitely worked. Michael was one of 23 stars confirmed for Season 4 of The Traitors. If history repeats itself, there might be one or two late additions to the game as well. Either way, social media immediately lit up with reactions to seeing Michael in the lineup, and it's not because of his terrible acting skills. It's because of his extensive history of using racist language and sharing far-right talking points on his social media. 'Amazing Traitors cast sans Michael Rapaport. He's a piece of sh*t and it's extremely annoying that Bravo and Peacock keep giving him a platform,' wrote one Traitors fan. Another said, 'Peacock and NBC continuing to platform Michael Rapaport as he spews bigoted hateful ideology is so dangerous. I desperately need him to be the first murder #TheTraitorsUS.' Scroll through Twitter/X for as long as you want, and you'll be hard pressed to find anyone thrilled about having this man on the beloved, Emmy-winning show. Plenty of Traitors fans, however, are hoping to see him get kicked out of the castle sooner rather than later. 'Traitor or not, banish Michael Rapaport first,' one person quipped. Although most fans are bashing Peacock for including Michael, it's worth highlighting that there are some positive elements to this cast. They've got five Real Housewives in the cast, including the return of Dorinda Medley. There's also a wealth of LGBTQ representation, with Monet X Change, Kristen Kish, and Johnny Weir in the lineup. Let's hold out hope that it's enough to erase the stain. The Traitors Season 4 comes to Peacock in 2026. TELL US – WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE TRAITORS SEASON 4 CAST? DO YOU THINK INCLUDING MICHAEL RAPAPORT WAS A MISTAKE? The post The Traitors Cast Including Michael Rapaport Causes Backlash appeared first on Reality Tea.

And the Emmy goes to … Trea Turner? Documentary on Philadelphia Phillies star's ovation wins award.
PHILADELPHIA — And the Emmy goes to … Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner? Turner already won an NL batting title and a World Series championship ring in his 11-year MLB career. How about adding an Emmy Award to that trophy case? 'Trea Turner's an Emmy winner, absolutely,' sports documentary producer Kyle Thrash said. 'He definitely held it up like he owned it.' Turner may not actually have the award in hand to keep for good, but he got to hoist the real deal ahead of Friday's game against the Toronto Blue Jays in a short celebration for the Emmy won for a best sports short documentary produced on the 2023 standing ovation credited with turning around his season. 'The Turnaround' won a sports Emmy in May, and Thrash and Phillies fan Jon McCann — whose personal struggles with mental health and kinship with Turner were the heart of the film — attended the game to show off their new bling to Turner. 'Cuz, we did it, huh?' McCann said as he shook Turner's hand on the field after batting practice. 'Trea Turner, we share an Emmy together.' Turner read the inscription at the bottom of the Emmy and promised fans he would wave to them in section 301 if he stole a base in Friday's game. 'We get to bring a trophy back to the ballpark tonight and share it with so many people that were involved in the standing ovation. It's pretty incredible,' Thrash said. Philly sports fans — often billed as some of the worst in sports — gave a slumping Turner standing ovations in at-bats throughout the weekend in an August 2023 series to show he had their full support. Turner was in the first season of an 11-year, $300 million deal with the Phillies but was batting just .238 with 11 home runs and 39 RBIs. He was even dropped to eighth in the batting order headed into that series against the Royals. In three games over the weekend against the Royals, Turner went 4-for-12 with two doubles, a home run and five RBIs and he would eventually help lead the Phillies to the playoffs. Turner later helped pay for 'Thank You, Philly' digital billboards in the greater Philadelphia area. The documentary was produced by Higher Ground, the media company founded by former President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama McCann, also known as 'The Philly Captain,' is a Philadelphia based YouTuber and was one of the fans — along with a Philly sports talk radio host — credited with rallying the fans to get behind Turner. 'During the ceremony, one of the award presenters said, 'When you go up against the Olympics, you lose.' So I kind of thought we already lost,' McCann said. 'We didn't. It was a great, great shock.'
