Ezra miller fantastic beasts movie#

Miller’s outspokenness about sexuality and gender identity earned them a reputation for empathy and progressiveness, as well as effusive internet titles like “queer icon,” “the hero we need right now,” and “our nonbinary king.” In 2018, GQ Style put Miller on its cover, and wrote, “Please God, tell us the next generation of movie stars is going to be like this.” (Miller’s costar mouthed “holy shit” to the camera.) Though it veered dark, the actor’s eccentricity initially struck many as endearing-a rarity in a town where most celebrities are on script even off set. In 2018, in what was intended to be a jovial junket interview promoting Fantastic Beasts, Miller recounted a childhood nightmare that involved the PATH train, Beethoven, and their mother’s and sisters’ throats being slit open as though they were pigs.

The actor has offered journalists marijuana midinterview and spoken in gibberish to reporters at ComicCon while wearing silk lingerie as a sexy Super Mario Bros. In interviews, Miller has long fashioned themself as a Hollywood outsider and queer champion who blurs gender lines and seems to revel in provocation. Since 2020, the actor has been accused of crimes and abuses spanning 6,000 miles and two oceans: throwing a chair that hit a woman in the forehead, threatening a couple in their bedroom and stealing a wallet and a passport in Hawaii, on top of the incident at Margarita Village choking two strangers in Iceland and breaking into a neighbor’s home in Vermont to steal alcohol, which resulted in a felony charge. What’s clear is that Miller has been endangering not just their career, but also their safety-and allegedly that of others-in increasingly plain sight for the last two years. That arrest was just one turn in a downward spiral so confusing and troubling that even old friends have difficulty parsing the chaos. “The Flash ring means a lot to me,” the actor says quietly.

By now, Miller seems to have burned out their rage. When the police empty Miller’s pockets, they find styrofoam Nerf bullets and place them in a plastic bag, along with the single accessory linking the person in cuffs to the movie that their acclaimed career, as well as $200 million of Warner Bros.’s money, is riding on: a ring emblazoned with their DC Comics superhero character. Sources say the actor verbally and emotionally abused those around them and referred to themself alternately as Jesus and the devil.
