During an interview to promote his latest flick Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald, the 26-year-old recounted a time when he was an underage actor and an unnamed director and producer gave him alcohol and encouraged him to be part of an unnamed film.
“They gave me wine and I was underage,” Miller told The Hollywood Reporter. “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 fucking age of being like, ‘You know what? That shit’s unacceptable.’”
Miller adds that the #MeToo movement was “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,” he said.
Miller previously discussed the #MeToo movement during his GQ Style cover story this month, saying “Let’s rehabilitate men.”
“Let’s drop men like flies,” he said. “I’m with it. And then let’s rehabilitate them when they’re on the ground.”
“This is some Wonder Woman shit right here. What’s the Amazonian solution to this?” The Justice League star added.
The actor said he believes people have a thing or two to learn from the roosters on the Vermont farm where he lives.
“We have a lot of eagles out here, and if an eagle starts dive-bombing the crew, the rooster will go out separate from the herd and pretend to be injured, so that the eagle will come and kill the rooster instead of hurting any of his babies,” Miller told the mag.
“That’s masculinity,” he explained. “That’s what it’s supposed to look like, you know what I mean? ‘I’m going to pretend to be weak, I’m going to pretend to be vulnerable so that you attack me before you’d attack one of the women in my posse.’ You feel me?”
“I’m looking for a man like that,” Miller commented. “I don’t know about you. I’m looking for a rooster-type man.”
