Wentworth Miller napustio ‘Prison Break’: Nema više strejt uloga

Ako se bude snimala šesta sezona popularne televizijske serije Prison Break, snimat će se bez Wentworth Millera. 48-godišnji glumac i scenarist objavio je na Instagramu u nedjelju da napušta seriju jer mu je dosadilo biti gej koji glumi heteroseksualne likove.

”S tim u vezi… out sam. Iz PB-a. Službeno”, napisao je u objavi najavivši svoj odlazak objašnjavajući: “Jednostavno ne želim glumiti strejt likove. Njihove su priče već ispričane (i ispričane).”

Serija prati Millera u ulozi Michaela Scofielda, koji namjerno završava u zatvoru kako bi oslobodio svog nepravedno zatvorenog brata, Lincolna Burrowsa, kojeg glumi Dominic Purcell, osuđenog na smrtnu kaznu.

Glumac se autovao 2013. godine u pismu kojim je odbio poziv na Međunarodni filmski festival u Sankt Peterburgu, rekavši da ga je “duboko zabrinuo trenutni stav i tretman ruske vlade prema gej muškarcima i ženama”. Wentworth je rekao da ne može “mirne savjesti sudjelovati u slavljeničkoj prigodi koju je priredila zemlja u kojoj se ljudima poput njega sistematski uskraćuju njihova osnovna prava da otvoreno žive i vole.”

Miller je svoju poruku završio obraćajući se obožavateljima:

“Ako vam je teško i smeta vam [jer] ste se zaljubili u izmišljenog strejt muškarca kojeg glumi gej… To je vaš posao.”

“This is my favorite IG account,” someone wrote in response to a recent post. Thank you. I want you to know I saw that. I see the positive comments and DMs (a lot of them anyway). Affectionate. Supportive. Appreciated (by me). Obviously there are comments and DMs I appreciate less. Who are these people? On my page? What backwards-ass, Stone Age values country did they crawl out of? The U.S.? I won't be disappearing (too many cool things to repost). The ability to comment likely will. I'm not concerned for myself. I can't be “bullied” in this space. I have too much power. “Delete. Block. Deactivate.” Etc. But I take seriously the possibility of queer kids visiting here, recently out of the closet or exploring the idea… I don't want them exposed to bullshit. On a related note… I'm out. Of PB. Officially. Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don't want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told). So. No more Michael. If you were a fan of the show, hoping for additional seasons… I understand this is disappointing. I'm sorry. If you're hot and bothered bec you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one… That's your work. – W.M. 🏳️‍🌈
