Ezra Miller sat down for a rare - and rather bizarre - interview just a month after their surprise Cannes appearance.
The 32-year-old troubled star - who uses they/them pronouns - talked about their future in acting as they revealed it was 'on tentative grounds' while sitting down with Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale on Thursday.
Miller had posed on the red carpet for the first time in two years at the Filming Italy Sardegna Festival in Cagliari, Italy.
The reclusive actor - who starred in the 2023 The Flash film - had a slew of legal issues from 2022 including assault charges and grooming allegations so they shocked many when they appeared at the most famous film festival at the premiere of Die, My Love in support of their friend Lynne Ramsey.
While smoking a cigarette, they explained: 'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world who is Lynne Ramsey — who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers.'
Miller went on to claim that they are writing a film with Ramsey, 55, which they claimed 'will likely be the first thing I do' in their return to Hollywood.
They went on to peculiarly say: 'I've been writing a lot, because you can do that in solitude which has been friendly to me.'
Miller went on to say that they would do anything for their filmmaker friend Ramsey despite Cannes being a 'tough re-entry point' to being in the limelight again before going on yet another bizarre tangent.
They said: 'If you've been in the woods for three years, I do not recommend going straight to Cannes, where every photographer and every weirdo, every rich genocidal freak be there, you know what I mean?'
This came just a month after they made am aforementioned surprise appearance at the Cannes Film Festival after years of laying low following their controversies.
The troubled star showed up on the red carpet wearing a maroon tuxedo paired with a beret over their long hair but walked quickly, not stopping to be photographed.
Miller was there to support director Ramsay for the premiere of her film Die, My Love starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson.
The Flash actor previously worked with the director on the 2011 film We Need to Talk About Kevin.
Miller has been keeping a low profile since The Flash — which ended up performing poorly in the box office — premiered in 2023.
The previous year, they fled the spotlight after apologizing for their 'past behavior' and said they were seeking help for their 'complex mental health issues.'
Before then, they made countless headlines as a result of multiple arrests and a series of distressing allegations, including allegedly grooming a teenage girl.
Videos surfaced online in which the actor appeared to be assaulting innocent civilians, and there were disturbing reports that the star was allegedly housing young children in a home with 'guns and bullets strewn' around the property.
They were arrested in Hawaii after allegedly attacking a couple at a karaoke bar in 2022.
A month later, they were arrested again for allegedly injuring a woman by throwing a chair at her head.
They were also accused of harassing a woman in Germany, allegedly hosting three young children and their mom in Vermont in an 'unsafe environment.'
And they were also charged with felony burglary in the same state.
However, in June 2023, a protective order issued against them in the state of Massachusetts was lifted, signaling an end to their legal troubles.
The actor was previously accused of behaving inappropriately around a 12-year-old child and the minor's family.

Miller has been touring with the now-21-year-old indigenous, non-binary adult Tokata Iron Eyes in a band called Hundred In The Hand as recently as last month, per their Instagram posts.
They allegedly met in 2016 when Tokata was 12 and Miller was 23.
Tokata's parents since-lifted petition previously accused Miller of 'corrupting a minor' as well as 'cult-like and psychologically manipulative, controlling behavior.'
Her father explained last year that he and his wife 'withdrew' the 'grooming' complaint filed in June 2022 and explained they were 'doing our level best to move on.'
At the time, Miller said they were 'very grateful.'
'I'm encouraged by today's outcome and very grateful at this moment to everyone who has stood beside me and sought to ensure that this egregious misuse of the protective order system was halted.'
They then slammed the press in their social media statement.
'I implore those members of the media who have recklessly spread false claims and failed to accurately report the truth and context of this story, to hold themselves to a higher standard and take the time to find the facts, rather than chasing the clicks.'
