Fantastic Beasts star Ezra Miller is fast becoming a queer icon.
Playboy revealed photos and videos from the star’s recent cover shoot as a gender-fluid Playboy Bunny. It’s fair to say Miller slayed.
In a recent gender-bending GQ shoot, Miller revealed that he identifies as non-binary. For Playboy, Miller was photographed wearing bunny ears, silky nightgowns, heels, and killer red lipstick. In the interview, he speaks about polyamory, pain, and pleasure, “Sometimes, I don’t have sex for a really long time because a lack of sex is as important to me as sex,” says the actor. “There’s definitely a lot of sexless, lonely time when playing Credence.”
There are, however, also dark points in Miller’s life that he discusses. “I’ve been attacked repeatedly in my life—I’ve been attacked by fucking bigots, man. Of course I’ve been in audition situations where sexuality was totally being leveraged. “He tears up while speaking with reporter Ryan Gajewski, “If I didn’t have art, I’d be so fucking dead—so long ago, I’d be dead. I probably would have done it myself.”
Born in New Jersey, Miller experienced a difficult adolescence during which he endured literal growing pains. “I have weird bones, you know,” he says in the interview with Playboy. His bones still cause periodic soreness to this day.
He was also bullied due to a severe speech impediment, which prompted his parents to enrol him in speech therapy. He hated the courses so much that he told his family, “I’d rather be broken than having someone trying to fix me all the time.” Instead, he managed to overcome his stutter through singing, a development that he credits in part to the occult: “I started singing because this woman, my kindergarten music teacher, did a very particular type of witchcraft, which is something a true artist can do to any child who carries a creative energy. Essentially, you just point your wand—which is your finger—at that child, and you say, ‘You are an artist.'”
Mmm. Okay. You can read the full interview here.
