Miles Teller says he is wary of being interviewed for magazines after an article about him went viral for all the wrong reasons more than a decade ago.
Esquire’s 2015 profile on Teller began with the journalist “trying to figure out if he’s a d***” during their conversation before determining a few paragraphs later that, despite his charm, he was “kind of a d***.” At the time, the actor — who was quickly rising to fame after the success of Whiplash and Divergent — issued a statement in response to the profile saying: “I don’t think there’s anything cool or entertaining about being a d*** or an asshole.”
