"The Normal Heart" cast Matt Bomer revealed that his love affair with acting started on a swing when he was still a child. Meanwhile, he solicited the help of his sons to join the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge.

"I had a wild imagination as a kid-wild!-and I was outside all the time, swinging around in trees by myself. I would sit on the swing set and swing literally for two hours, just, like, imagining things like, what if this happened and what if I was this guy?" "The Normal Heart" cast Matt Bomer revealed to Backstage.

"We didn't get to see a lot of movies in my house growing up, so the first time I got to go to the movies-I think it was 'E.T.'-I was like, Oh my God, somebody else gets my imagination!" he added.

In an earlier interview with Elle, "White Collar" season 6 cast Matt Bomer revealed that he first read "The Normal Heart" play when he was just 13 years old and he became a fan ever since.
