At this point, there’s hardly anybody unaware of Ezra Miller and their activities. Miller was subjected to a lot of media attention after they appeared in a series of controversies in the recent past. These serious charges have even resulted in them losing a significant amount of popularity and even some of the major roles they were involved in. Interestingly, an old interview proves that the Flash fame was deeply disturbed from a very young age.
As seen in most cases, mental health issues usually start originating among individuals at a very young age. Looks like, it’s similar to the case of Ezra Miller as some of their statements from a very old interview reveal that they are going through these things for a very long time.
Ezra Miller’s old interview shows a troubled past
Ezra Miller is seen portraying a series of troubled teenagers in several of their movies. They have been a part of projects like City Islands, Beware the Gonzo, Another Happy Day, and The Perks of Being a Wallflower. But one of their most talked about projects to date is We Need to Talk To Kevin where they play the role of a psychopathic teenager who executes a series of horrific murders.
In a 2012 interview with Vanity Fair, they stated that the film led them to have some terrifying nightmares. One of the highlights of the whole interview was Miller’s viewpoint on the main character Kevin. They described that they felt a connection with the troubled teen. While the interview indirectly showed us Ezra Miller’s dark past, the fans were surprised when they claimed that they could relate to the character very much.
“I read the screenplay and it was this amazingly dark character who I could understand on many different levels. I could understand the intellectual justification that he was weaving for himself to rationalize his actions. More than that, I could really relate to something at the core of his emotional experience”
The Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them actor’s acting skills and their on-screen relationship with Tilda Swinton were widely appreciated. The 30-year-old also stated that a friend of theirs felt uncomfortable around them after the release of the movie. But sadly, unexpected to everybody, the fear for the individual turned real after a series of incidents ruined one of the most talented actors.
Will Ezra Miller continue to be the Flash?
Ezra Miller has been accused of some serious cases such as harassment, assault, grooming, and manipulation of minors, and was even charged with felony burglary. The actor also claimed themselves to be Jesus and the next Messiah. Later a representative of theirs reported that they are receiving treatment for complex mental health issues. Miller even apologized to the studio executives for bringing bad press to The Flash.
The Flash is expected to be the last DC appearance of the actor as the iconic speedster after they have lost many roles due to their wrongdoings. But there are still some doubts as the DCU co-heads Peter Safran and James Gunn didn’t give any clear statement. The upcoming movie featuring Ezra Miller, Ben Affleck, Michael Keaton, and others is going to give the superhero universe a soft reboot. It would be also interesting to see if they keep Miller for their future but undoubtedly that will be a highly controversial decision if that happens.
The Flash will be released on June 16, 2023.
