Handsome “Justice League” star Ezra Miller openly kisses male fan at Comic Con

The fact that Ezra Miller is playing The Flash in the new Justice League movie makes him the first gay actor to be cast as the lead in a huge superhero franchise, and he’s not taking the opportunity for granted.

At this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, the 24-year-old Fantastic Beast star was captured by TMZ smooching a male fan.

He’d been explaining to a crowd of fans why it would take an effort for The Flash to get drunk, and that’s when a fan asked if they could smell his breath to prove it.

The young man got way more than that: Miller leaned in and gave him a rather dedicated kiss, much to the delight of the crowd.

Miller identifies as queer, which he first openly discussed in 2012, saying:

I never thought about hiding anything about myself.

“When I was around 14, I was obsessed with Hunter S. Thompson. I must’ve seen Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas 500 times.

Hunter created this public persona called Raoul Duke who was very different from himself and it tortured him… So I never wanted to set up a public persona who was different from who I was.

Maybe it sounds cheesy, but I just wanted to realize my true self.”
