Out actor Ezra Miller has said that
being queer for him means not identifying as either a man or a woman.
“Queer just means, 'no, I don't do
that,'” Miller
told The
Hollywood Reporter. “I don't identify as a man. I don't
identify as a woman. I barely identify as a human.”
Miller, who came out queer in 2012, is
best known for playing Patrick in the big screen adaptation of
Stephen Chbosky's The Perks of Being a Wallflower. He plays
Credence Barebone in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them
and The Crimes of Grindelwald, which opens next week.
“I'm queer,” Miller told Out
in 2012. “I have a lot of really wonderful friends who are very
different sexes and genders. I am very much in love with no one in
particular.”
Miller, 26, has portrayed Barry
Allen/The Flash in three DC movies: Batman v. Superman: Dawn of
Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. With
the release of Flashpoint in 2020, Miller will become the
first queer actor to play the lead role in a superhero movie.
Miller also revealed that he had his
own #MeToo moment, saying that an unnamed director made advances.
“They gave me wine and I was
underaged,” Miller said. “They were like, 'Hey, want to be in
our movie about gay revolution?' And I was like, 'No, you guys are
monsters.'”
