"Prison Break" Season 5 star Wentworth Miller has moved on from the controversial fat-shaming meme he was involved in March. Looking forward to the new season after almost a decade of hiatus, Miller is now more ready and comfortable to play as Michael J. Scofield, leaving behind the issues, including depression that he had battled his entire life.
The now-deleted post by LAD Bible in the social media that showed comparative photos of the "Prison Break" star created a huge impact on him. In March, Miller broke his silence on his depression to defend himself on the fat-shaming meme. The post was captioned, "When you break out of prison and find out about the McDonald's Monopoly."
"Today I found myself the subject of an Internet meme" Miller wrote in his lengthy Facebook post. "Not for the first time. This one, however, stands out from the rest. In 2010, semi-retired from acting, I was keeping a low-profile for a number of reasons. First and foremost, I was suicidal."
During "Prison Break" hiatus, Miller admitted that he was at the lowest point of his life and on the road of self-destruction. After learning about Miller's mental health issues, the LAD Bible apologized and expressed its support to the actor and to all battling depression. Today, Miller is now in a better place and has been busy filming for "Prison Break" Season 5.
"Prison Break" new season will see Scofield alive after he was perceived dead during the last season. He was imprisoned in Yemen's prison and connected with the ISIS. In an interview with DEADLINE, Dominic Purcell said that Lincoln Burrows (Dominic Purcell), his wife Dr. Sara Tancredi (Sarah Wayne Callies) and the rest of the gang are going to plan the biggest escape in the TV series' history to get Scofield out of Yemen.
Five months after the fat-shaming meme, Miller looks far better and healthier as he get preoccupied with his stint in "Prison Break" Season 5. He admitted to PEOPLE that he had never been depressed in three years. He further advised people to offer help if they know someone who is struggling with depression.
At the SDCC 2016, Miller confessed that he is very happy to be part of the "Prison Break" new season. He is even looking forward to doing more seasons and episodes of the crime/action/ drama TV series. The new season returns early 2017.
