Esquire vs Fantastic Four, Co-stars Defend Miles Teller

Esquire just found out that you don’t mess with Marvel’s first family.

Esquire tried to push the envelope too far with a tweet about their Miles Teller interview: “Miles Teller is on a quest for greatness (with a bit of dickishness too)” The article itself is pretty smug too. The author Anna Peele calls teller a dick several times.

“You’re sitting across from Miles Teller at the Luminary restaurant in Atlanta and trying to figure out if he’s a dick,” wrote Peele in the opening sentence.

“He gives you a hug and goes off to contribute to the cache or catalog or canon or whatever the fuck you call it and charm the world with his dickishness,” wrote Peele in the closing sentence.

Teller had this to say Wednesday and his Fantastic Four co-stars had his back.

@esquire couldn't be more wrong. I don't think there's anything cool or entertaining about being a dick or an asshole. Very misrepresenting
