Ezra Miller Shocks Fans with Surprise Cannes Film Festival Appearance: Five Years After Controversies
A Return to the Spotlight
In a stunning comeback moment, Ezra Miller graced the 2025 Cannes Film Festival red carpet after a prolonged period of silence and controversy. The 32-year-old actor, known for their unique style and captivating performances, donned a striking maroon tuxedo and a beret, instantly becoming a topic of discussion among attendees and spectators alike.
A Swift Walk and a Nod to Lynne Ramsay
Despite the excitement surrounding their appearance, Miller kept a low profile, breezing along the red carpet while avoiding photographers. Their appearance coincided with the festival’s screening of "Die, My Love," directed by Lynne Ramsay, a filmmaker with whom Miller shares a rich history. The two previously collaborated on the acclaimed 2011 film "We Need to Talk About Kevin," where Miller played the titular character, delivering a performance that left audiences spellbound.
A Troubled Past
For those unfamiliar, Miller’s journey has been marred by a series of public controversies. In 2022, they were involved in multiple legal incidents, including being arrested in Hawaii for allegedly attacking a couple at a karaoke bar. This sparked a series of events that saw them arrested again shortly thereafter, accused of throwing a chair at a woman’s head. The legal troubles didn’t stop there; Miller faced serious allegations, including harassment claims and accusations regarding the well-being of young children in their care.
Timeline of Controversies
- Karaoke Bar Incident: Arrested in March 2022 for allegedly attacking a couple.
- Second Arrest: A month later, arrested for throwing a chair at a woman.
- Harassment Claims: Accused of harassing a woman in Germany.
- Felony Burglary Charges: Charged in Vermont for burglary incidents.
Despite these issues, a harassment order against Miller was lifted in June 2023, marking a potential turning point for the actor.
Reflections from "The Flash"
Last year, the director of "The Flash" addressed the impact of Miller’s controversies on the film’s box office performance, acknowledging the public’s mixed reactions and how it may have influenced audience attendance.
