“We’re all hoping that they get better… They’re taking the steps to recovery,” Andy said, per ET. “They’re dealing with mental health issues, but they’re well. We talked to them not too long ago, and they’re very committed to getting better.”
Ezra was arrested multiple times in Hawaii for assault, was accused of harassing a woman in Germany, was accused of choking someone in Iceland, and was accused of hosting three young children and their mom in Vermont in an “unsafe environment.”
The 30-year-old star was also charged with felony burglary in Vermont, and was accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a young person they met at age 12.
Last year, Ezra said, “I am suffering complex mental health issues and have begun ongoing treatment.”
“Ezra is an extraordinary actor. It’s probably… Not probably, it’s one of my best experiences working with an actor ever,” Andy said of directing Ezra. “They’re brilliant. Their contributions are constant. And also, they like to play and they like to do more takes than I do, which is a lot.”
“They’re full of incredible emotions,” he said of Ezra. “They bring them to the set every time. And they’re an incredible comedian also, which is something that I wasn’t fully prepared for.”
The Flash arrives in theaters on June 16 and just released a second trailer.
