GOING STRAIGHT, ME? NO WAY! MILLER QUITS PRISON BREAK

-

WENTWORTH MILLER will break free from playing straight characters – after announcing he has quit his starring role in Prison Break.

The 48-year-old, who came out in 2013, has little sympathy for fans who fell in love with his character Michael Scofield – declaring it’s not his fault if they lust after ‘a fictional straight man’.

Miller, who last starred in the Fox show in 2017, revealed he won’t return for a rumoured sixth series.

‘I’m out. Of PB. Officially. Not bec of static on social media (although that has centered the issue). I just don’t want to play straight characters. Their stories have been told (and told),’ he wrote in an Instagram post

‘So. No more Michael. If you were a fan... I understand this is disappoint­ing. I’m sorry.’

But he added a caveat to his apology, posting: ‘If you’re hot and bothered bec you fell in love with a fictional straight man played by a real gay one... that’s your work.’
