In a new cover story for The Hollywood Reporter, "budding queer icon" Ezra Miller -- who has spoken about the need to drop powerful men "like flies" in the wake of #MeToo -- reveals his own story of industry misconduct. The actor says that a director attempted to get him intoxicated when he was still a minor. "They gave me wine and I was underaged," he told THR. "They were like, 'Hey, want to be in our movie about gay revolution?' And I was like, 'No, you guys are monsters.'"

"It's a great fuckin' age of being like, 'You know what? That shit's unacceptable,' And it's amazing for a lot of us to watch. 'Cause, like, we all knew it was unacceptable when we fucking survived it. That's what Hollywood is. I thought we all knew we were sex workers." Miller doesn't name the film, leaving us all to speculate what movies about "gay revolution" were made over eight years ago...
In the story, Miller also talks about identifying as queer. "Yeah, absolutely," he told THR. "Which is to say, I don't identify. Like, fuck that. Queer just means no, I don't do that. I don't identify as a man. I don't identify as a woman. I barely identify as a human."
