5 highlights (and lowlights) from nonbinary actor Ezra Miller’s unapologetically queer career
Ezra Miller’s arrest last week for allegedly attacking a karaoke-singers in Hawaii has caused Warner Brothers to “pause” all of the non-binary actor’s future film projects.Though Miller has become well-known for appearing in the Fantastic Beasts and DC’s superhero film series, their career has been punctuated with several notable highlights and lowlights.
Here are five of the actor’s most noteworthy moments throughout their unapologetically queer career:Miller initially came out in a 2012 interview, after wowing audiences by playing a gay teen in The Perks of Being a Wallflower and a disturbed teenager in We Need to Talk About Kevin.“I’m queer,” they said in the interview. “I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are of very different sexes and genders.
I am very much in love with no one in particular. I’ve been trying to figure out relationships, you know?”Their coming out was all the more momentous when they became the first out actor to portray a superhero on the big screen.
They played the The Flash alongside other iconic heroes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League.At San Diego Comic-Con, the then-24-year-old actor was captured by TMZ smooching a male fan.The fan had asked Miller if their superhero character The Flash could get drunk, seeing as their supersonic metabolism would likely process alcohol quickly out of theur body.
