Controversy

Wentworth Miller has faced some controversy in his career, mainly related to his sexuality and his weight.

He later regretted his denial and said that he was afraid of the consequences of coming out at that time. He also said that he was proud of his sexuality and that he hoped to inspire others who were struggling with their identity.

In 2010, he gained some weight after the end of Prison Break and was photographed looking heavier than usual. The photos were mocked by some media outlets and online users, who made jokes and memes about his appearance.

He said that the fat-shaming deeply hurt him and that he was depressed and suicidal at that time.
