Henry Cavill publicly mistaken for Matt Bomer: who would you rather?

These are some new photos of Henry Cavill, our newest Superman, at LAX. Unfortunately for Henry’s career, Fame/Flynet Pictures labeled these pics “Matt Bomer”. OUCH. Now, I don’t have a reason to dislike Henry Cavill – I know there’s some minor sketchiness in his personal life, but all in all, he seems like a handsome, talented, albeit boring beefcake. Is that the problem? The Boring Factor? Photo agencies don’t remember his name because, really, who does? Is he too vanilla? Does he need to shake it up?

And so, by comparison, I’m including photos of Matt Bomer. I tend to find Matt more attractive and more talented, but that may because I’m a fan of White Collar (the winter premiere this week sucked, though). Matt and Henry do look similar, I guess. They could be vaguely related – Matt is the Pretty Brother, Henry is the Beefcake Brother. Except that Matt has a really great body too, he’s just not as beefcakey and look-at-my-pecs as Henry. Matt also has a less “vanilla” image – it’s an open secret that he’s gay, and that he and his partner have a family. He’s got street cred! Or whatever.

So… I’m just writing this because it’s really slow today, but you guys seem to enjoy posts about hot dudes, so I hope you won’t complain. If given a choice – and this is just in your fantasies, where Bomer is straight – who would you rather? For me, it’s Bomer. I just feel like Henry is oddly asexual. Not unlike Jake Gyllenhaal, who I simply can’t imagine in any kind of sexual situation, ever.

    well, the agency should have done its homework. if the photographer doesn´t have a clue who the man who he´s taking a picture of is then the editor should have looked it up. gee, they work in the industry, how can´t you not know?

    I loved the season premiere. I thought Peter would rough Neal up more, though. And when Neal said he stayed for Peter? Fangirl explosion in my heart!

    First season of The Tudors, when Henry had less hair, the hot factor was a helluva lot higher. He looses something with the Silky Superman Locks.

    I’m “meh” on the traditionally “tall, dark, handsome” brand, so neither of them really get me hot — but Matt is way too “delicate pretty” for my tastes. Be afraid I’d break his pretty face if I had too much fun with him……ahem……

  24. Henry Cavill of course! ;-) But Matt is definitely a hot dude…

    They look similar, but I can’t really figure how they could have not noticed people mentioning Superman: Man of Steel stuff at the airport. Plus there is the “editor’ problem!

    Henry is actually quite witty & funny if you’ve seen many videos.

    Thinking we’ll get to know him a little better when he does the talk show circuit for The Cold Light of Day coming in April. Hope so!

      Agreed. After seeing him in interviews he became even sexier to me. He seems very intelligent, interesting, and like he’s a really good and down to earth person.
      I think he’s a very talented actor and hopefully- now that he has his foot in the door- he can get some diverse roles and show everyone that there is more to him than just his hotness.

    First off, I had no idea Matt Bomer was gay. Shock of my day.

    I’m a sucker for dark haired boys but even if Matt Bomer was straight, Henry has my vote. Our love started during “The Count of Monte Cristo” and it will never die.

    He is kinda vanilla but I’d rather that than overexposed Hollywood playboys aka Ryan Gosling/Leo di Caprio etc who IMO aren’t good looking.

    And wow, if the original author thought the new White Collar episode sucked… not sure what would have pleased you. On top of all the great plot elements, the show had absolutely pitch-perfect performances from Bomer and Tim DeKay.

    Check out Cavill in an interview. He seems to be a person of tremendous substance, and strangely unsware of himself. That’s proly where u pick up on the asexual vibe. I don’t think that he’s aware of how attractive he is. Personally, the fact that he sets himself apart by not coming across as a lascivious philanderer makes him all the more attractive to me.

    I’m just saying my opinion but I think Matt Bomer’s pretty eyes are also shining very creepy way I really don’t like. He is very handsome and going to be a star but something about him totally turns me off. Believe me, I really don’t care about his privacy, having said that the image kept comin up that he is frisked by some men and he’s so pleased like a girl, and I know my female instinct is correct and he loves things like that. I also believe that Henry is bi which doesn’t matter.

    I did not know about Matt’s sexual preference. But I am relaly proud of him living his life as he wishes without worrying about his image and not exposing his life as a show. That alone is H.O.T !!!!!!

    There are some sketchy things about Henry’s life (photos of him with friends online). I don’t care about his sexual preferences either, but if he is homossexual, I wish he did not continue this Hollywood game that some many actors play.

    That being said, I would hit either one of them!!!!

    ps: Wasn’t Henry so cute in The count of Monte Christo, blood creek (with Fassbender) and Inspector Linley?

    I’m for Cavill over Bomer. They somewhat cancel each other out but when you hear Henry talk and is all charming and British it just makes things happen. I find Matt to be the more asexual…almost Patrick Bateman-y one in those photos. Plus Henry is only beefcakey for the superman movie. He normally isn’t as big nor do I feel he flaunts his body.

    in conclusion…the one final factor in Henry’s favor is dat ass.

      That rumor was debunked. There is no transcript or proof that he was on the show. He’s been known to have relationships- with women.
