A resurfaced interview with Miles Teller<\/strong><\/a> explains why the actor took a slight step back from doing any kind of extended interview.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason why I have not done profiles is because I said, \u2018Wow, if I\u2019m not doing this interview on camera, this person can misquote things or put things out of order or say things that didn\u2019t happen,\u2019\u201d Teller told IndieWire<\/em><\/a> in a May 2026 interview when responding to a bout of \u201cbad press\u201d he had during the early days of his career.<\/p>\n

The specific instance came in the form of a \u201cmishandled\u201d (Teller\u2019s words) Esquire<\/em> interview published in 2015<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt felt like such a violation of what actually transpired,\u201d Teller recalled. \u201cI told my team, \u2018Guys, I don\u2019t think I\u2019m doing this again, because I\u2019m reading this and this doesn\u2019t sound like me to me. This is not life, so why would I ever want to be a part of something where they can just put that in?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
