Every now and again, the world is gifted a rare entity who is talented, unique, and beautiful, with the ability to cross lines and blur them. Ezra Miller is such a remarkable bird, able to star in both mainstream features and dark projects, to both make you laugh and be afraid, and to positively entrance us with his presence. He considers his gender identity to be fluid. “I’m comfortable with all the pronouns,” he told GQ magazine. “I let he/his/him ride, and that’s fine.”...
Every now and again, the world is gifted a rare entity who is talented, unique, and beautiful, with the ability to cross lines and blur them. Ezra Miller is such a remarkable bird, able to star in both mainstream features and dark projects, to both make you laugh and be afraid, and to positively entrance us with his presence. He considers his gender identity to be fluid. “I’m comfortable with all the pronouns,” he told GQ magazine. “I let he/his/him ride, and that’s fine.” His fashion preferences have no definition, and he is equally as comfortable in a dress or skirt as he is in a black T-shirt and pants. Ezra dropped out of high school when he was 16, and went right into acting. He played Damien on Californication in 2008, and Tucker Bryant on Royal Pains from 2009-2010. He charmed on the big screen as Eddie “Gonzo” Gilman in Beware the Gonzo (2010), and completely blew everyone away, including Hollywood, with his performance as Kevin in the movie We Need to Talk About Kevin (2011). He followed it up with the role of Patrick in The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), proving he could do popular as well as provocative. The New Jersey native played Léon Dupuis in the highbrow Madame Bovary (2014), then Donald in Amy Schumer’s comedy Trainwreck (2015) (where his bare torso is on full display, both lean and lovely). In 2016, he entered the superhero arena when he premiered as The Flash in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016). The Flash also sped through Suicide Squad (2016), Justice League (2017), Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021), and his own film, The Flash (2022). Ezra also got smokey as Credence Barebone in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2016), The Crimes of Grindelwald(2018), and The Secrets of Dumbledore (2022), the follow-up series to J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter. At the same time, you can see him as Trashcan Man in the mini-series The Stand in 2021. A gift we are more than ready to fully unwrap.
