Ezra Miller Signals 'Tentative' Hollywood Return After Surviving Personal 'Abyss'
Ezra Miller has talked of a possible return to Hollywood after facing controversial allegations in 2022.
They told the Italian outlet Lo Speciale Giornale, while attending this year's Filming Italy Sardegna Festival 2025, that a 'tentative' return to the film industry was possible. Miller added they were working with director Lynne Ramsay after attending the Cannes Film Festival in May to support the premiere of her film Die My Love.

'I came to Cannes to support one of my closest friends in the world, who's Lynne Ramsay, who I think is one of the greatest living filmmakers. I'm working with her, again, that will likely be the first thing I do, a film that her and I are writing together,' Miller revealed in the video interview that was posted to Lo Speciale Giornale's YouTube account.
They worked with Ramsay on her 2011 film We Need to Talk About Kevin. Miller added that attending Cannes was a tough ask but followed an invitation from Ramsay.
'I didn't necessarily want to go to Cannes. That's a tough re-entry point. 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, is there. It's not an easy re-entry,' they said.
But Miller added they respected Ramsay enough to trust her with their return to Hollywood. 'I believe in her more than the rest of it. When we got through those crucibles, if we can survive — which was up in the air for me, if I'm being real — we then have that capacity to see other people in their crucibles and just to reach towards them,' they insisted.
A possible return for Miller to filmmaking follows a string of controversial incidents from 2020-2022, which included a number of arrests and culminated in Miller issuing a statement apologizing for their behavior, citing 'complex mental health issues' and noting they were seeking treatment.
Miller said a possible return to Hollywood came after they found out during personal challenges whose support they had.
'When you work in this industry, you will find yourself in deep, deep relation with a lot of people who do not give a single fuck about you or your well-being at all. Not that I don't hold a lot of remorse and lamentation for a lot of things that I did, and for a lot of things that happened in that time, but I'm really, really grateful for the lessons that came with that abyss,' Miller told the Italian outlet.
At the same time, Miller said they had no artistic regrets.
'I don't. I'll be honest, probably the reason why I don't is I don't really think about it. The process for me is where the magic is. The work is for other people's judgment. For me, it's not my job. It's not my job to figure out whether an expression I was involved in is good or bad, or how it compares to other expressions,' they said.

Pomellato Unveils Its Most Dazzling High Jewelry Collection Yet
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Few brands can boast of hosting an evening inside Milan's iconic Pinacoteca di Brera gallery—but Pomellato certainly can. Last Friday, the renowned Milanese jeweler held an unforgettable gala beneath the Italian sunset to unveil its latest high jewelry collection, Collezione 1967. The exclusive guest list included actresses America Ferrera, Laura Harrier, and Philippine Leroy-Beaulieu. More than a mere debut, Collezione 1967 serves as a bold manifesto of Pomellato's enduring commitment to Italian craftsmanship, centuries-old goldsmithing techniques, and a legacy of creative freedom. Comprising 75 pieces, the collection delves into the maison's rich heritage, offering a journey through the decades. The 1970s usher in a 'chain revolution,' referencing a time in Milan charged with youthful rebellion. The 1980s chapter sees Pomellato 'breaking the rules of design,' leaning into the exuberant expressionism born from the era of Italian power dressing. Finally, a 'chromatic vision' defines the 1990s, with 37 vibrant pieces showcasing the decade's dynamic relationship with color and form. The collection uniquely showcases the house's signature rose gold and cabochon (polished but not faceted) gems—hallmarks of its distinctive style. With careful attention to these iconic codes, in-house gem master Stefano Cortecci reimagined the brand's rich history through a modern lens. Chain-link bracelets, multicolored jewel-encrusted rings, and pavé zipper necklaces reinvigorated timeless designs. Guests were first welcomed at Pomellato's headquarters for an exclusive preview of the collection, before heading to the storied halls of the Pinacoteca di Brera for the evening's main event. To mark the occasion, the brand kicked off the evening with a runway show, pairing each piece with a designer look. My personal favorite? A link necktie that perfectly complemented a low-cut catsuit with padded shoulders. The look was completed with a Duetto ring, adding an unexpected pop of color. The night concluded with a dinner prepared by two-Michelin-starred chef Antonio Guida—a fitting finale to a picture-perfect Italian outing. While the high jewelry pieces from Collezione 1967 aren't available for purchase, you can still shop some of my favorite Pomellato designs below.

Don't Binge ‘The Bear' Season 4 Without Great Takeout
It's here. Season 4 of The Bear — possibly its last (but not officially) — arrives today, June 25. The whole 10-episode season drops on Hulu at 7 p.m.. Anyone brave enough to binge the entire season in a single sitting might need to think this one through: Have you secured the ideal snacks for this lengthy journey? We wouldn't suggest Pizza Hut's tavern-style pizza, unless you plan on locking yourself away in a walk-in to numb the emotional pain. Instead, allow Eater Chicago to guide you through the best takeout and delivery options to pair with the highs, lows, and in-betweens of Season 4, but don't worry; no spoilers here. For more takeout and delivery options, check out this map. Curtis Duffy, behind Michelin-starred Ever — a fictionalized version closed on the TV show, but the real restaurant remains open — is offering a special, Bear -inspired delivery-only menu in partnership with Uber Eats. It's available 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesdays through Sundays, from now until Monday, July 28. The menu includes Italian beefs, chicken parm sandwiches, a Boursin omelette sandwich with potato chips, Mikey's Spaghetti, and Marcus's Honey Bun. Order via Uber Eats . The Bear's cast and crew made frequent stops at this iconic Mexican restaurant while filming, but sadly, Birrieria Zaragoza's original location in Archer Heights is closed after a weekend fire. They've set up a GoFundMe to help with repairs. However, a second location in Uptown is open until 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday. Don't forget to order the flan. Order via DoorDash . Loaf Lounge remains one of Chicago's mightiest operations, truly a complete restaurant with strong sandwiches, breads, desserts, and drinks. Co-owner and pastry chef Sarah Mispagel-Lustbader was a consultant for Season 1 and created the chocolate cake for the show. The cake is available for pickup or delivery. However, you'll have to plan to order this one in advance because the kitchen takes its final orders at 3 p.m. before the cafe closes entirely at 4 p.m. What are you waiting for? Order via Toast . Sometimes you just need a good burger, and a Happy Meal won't cut it. The Loyalist is the bar underneath the three-Michelin-starred restaurant Smyth. The menu is approachable and features one of the best burgers in town. Get a salad or fries to complement the Dirty Burg. Order via Tock . PQM's head butcher Rob Levitt appears in Season 3 as a culinary figure leading the Chicago's hard-to-navigate dining scene. And for good reason: his crew makes some of the best sandwiches in the city. You can't go wrong there, but if you're in the mood to make your own meal, Publican Quality Meats delivers some of the best sausages and chops in town for the home cook. They also have a modest produce selection and a great selection of gourmet oils and spices. Order via PQM's website . See More:

How Brad Pitt and girlfriend Ines de Ramon leveled up their fashion game for the ‘F1' promo tour
How can Brad Pitt get any hotter? The A-list movie star has been a heartthrob for more than three decades straight and is no stranger to an eye-catching look, having experimenting on and off the red carpet with skirts, thigh-high leather boots, man buns and buzzcuts in recent years. Pitt's also an entrepreneur; he launched a clothing line and a skincare range in 2022, the latter inspired by his ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop. Now, the 61-year-old actor is cementing his status as a style icon — with current lady love Ines de Ramon by his side. Though Pitt typically hasn't worked with a stylist in a formal capacity, he's tapped two heavy hitters during the promotional tour for his newest movie, 'F1.' Off the red carpet, Taylor McNeill — who is the mastermind behind Timothée Chalamet's internet-breaking 'A Complete Unknown' press tour as well as Kendrick Lamar's viral flared Super Bowl jeans — is working her magic on Brad. The superstar put the Hollywood vet in Adidas sneakers, silk shirts, velvet blazers and oversized jeans — a mix of whimsical pieces ripped straight from the runway and sourced from vintage Italian fashion brands. 'a best ever for him!' one fan commented on McNeill's Instagram showcasing one of her looks for Pitt. 'Ahh it was you!' another said, while a third agreed, 'I saw this fit and was impressed, make sense now.' Though the 'Ocean's 11' star may be borrowing some plays from Chalamet — who, despite being half Pitt's age, actually shares a somewhat similar style sensibility, not to mention an even more famous girlfriend — he's still suiting up at red carpet premieres. Enter a second stylist: George Cortina, who put the hunk in the aforementioned Saint Laurent leather boots on the cover of GQ just last month. Cortina, who works regularly with the men's fashion mag as well as Vanity Fair, V, Elle and more, has long been a collaborator with Pitt. However, the 'F1' run is a bit of a departure for the actor — and, naturally, he broke a few fashion rules in the process. The stylist told GQ that the pair decided he'd wear handmade suits from legendary Savile Row tailor Anderson & Sheppard to the film's premieres, but in a rainbow of colors and seldom-used fabrics. Thus far, Pitt has worn lilac, sherbet orange and emerald green everywhere from Mexico City to London. 'Bespoke is a different animal because you have to know what you're doing. Otherwise, your tailor will make a beautiful suit for you that's impeccably cut, but you might end up looking like Prince Charles,' Cortina told GQ of the array. 'Essentially all of the fabrics that Brad is wearing were basically fabrics that have never been used before for this purpose.' Pitt isn't the only one who's brought in new wardrobe help lately. De Ramon, whom the actor's been dating since 2022, tapped top stylist Dani Michelle to outfit her for the press tour. Michelle, whose other clients include Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, has certainly delivered high-voltage looks so far, dressing de Ramon in a Chanel halter crop top and low-slung feathered skirt at the NYC premiere of 'F1' on June 16. De Ramon, who is a top executive at high-fashion jewelry brand Anita Ko, followed it up with a glittering Fendi Couture gown covered in micro-crystals and sequins, which she paired with a matching Nano Baguette purse with beaded fringe in London. With the Dubai premiere just around the corner and the film's Apple TV+ release on June 27, we can only imagine how Pitt and de Ramon plan to end the promo tour with a grand finale.
