Private life

In June 2011, Miller was stopped at a police stop in Pittsburgh , Pennsylvania while filming Maybe Better Tomorrow , because Miller was in a car with a broken brake light. 20 grams of marijuana was discovered and Miller was fined $ 600 for the offense. Miller later commented on the incident, saying, "I don't think there is any reason I should hide the fact that I smoke marijuana. It is a harmless substance that enhances sensual perceptions. "

When asked if he was gay in 2012, Miller said, “I had a lot of, well, happy ending sleepovers in my early teens . My time of exploration - I think this is important. Anyone who has never had a homosexual moment is probably trying to evade dealing with a reality in their life. "

I only identify as a person. ”Miller uses different pronouns in relation to himself in alternating ways . In an interview with GQ Style in November 2018, Miller describes his own gender identity as non-binary (gender-fluid) , flowing back and forth between the sexes.
