Writer, producer, and director Ryan Murphy has been known to cast a heartthrob (or two, or three, or four) in his many, award-winning TV series, but for many of us, it can sometimes be hard to keep track of all of them and tell them apart, especially since (to put it bluntly) a lot of them really do look alike.
That's what Twitter user @vintagehols pointed out when they posted a hilarious side-by-side meme of Matt Bomer, Cheyenne Jackson, Finn Wittrock, Max Greenfield, and Wes Bentley, five handsome actors who have all starred in at least one Ryan Murphy production.
"I could not name one of these men if someone put a gun to my head," @vintagehols said in the tweet that has over 204,000+ likes at the time of writing.
Well, being a good sport about the genuinely funny meme, actor Matt Bomer (who won a Golden Globe for his role in Murphy's TV film The Normal Heart, starred in multiple seasons of American Horror Story, and directed an episode of The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story) had some choice words of his own to say in response to people now knowing the difference between him and his other acting peers.
"I love all of these men and their unique talents. But if you’re going to line us up and objectify us every few months like Ryan Murphy’s version of a Hitchcock blonde...then I’ve got dibs on Grace Kelly," Bomer replied.
And to make sure no one thought he was trying to drag @vintagehols in his reply, Bomer clarified that it was all just a joke and that he doesn't want anyone to feel bad.
Bomer's AHS: Freak Show co-star Finn Wittrock, who was also a part of the original look-alike meme, also joined in on the fun, saying he wants to be the Janet Leigh to Matt's Grace Kelly.
Kudos to Matt and Finn for not taking themselves, or a shady meme, too seriously! We love a good sport!
