Sometimes you try a thing to revive your struggling acting career and it works.
But for actor TJ Miller his recent gambit of an interview backfired spectacularly.
MIller said in an interview on the Adam Carolla Show Ryan Reynolds—his former costar in the Deadpool series where Miller played Deadpool's friend Weasel—must hate him and he doesn't know why.
Miller claimed Reynolds separated emotionally from his friendship with Miller once Deadpool got popular. He also said he'd never work with Reynolds again—as if anyone asked him to.
Miller said there was a "weird moment."
"We had a really weird moment on Deadpool where he said, 'let's do one more take'... but then as the character, he was horrifically mean to me—but to me, as if I'm Weasel."
And while this is all fairly standard griping from a Hollywood actor whose career tanked, Miller's words got noticed.
Not so fast, fans of Reynolds and people without long-term memory loss said—that's not the whole story. Miller, it seems, was not a great guy.
People have a list of the actor's transgressions and misconduct detailed on Miller's Wikipedia page.
Some commented on the audacity Miller needed to think he was the one with the decision to work with Reynolds, and not the other way around.
As the Deadpool and Marvel press machine winds up to launch Deadpool 3, it probably won't be the last time we hear from Miller.
