Queer actor Ezra Miller had been acting steadily since 2008 (including five episodes of the TV series Royal Pains), but it was performance in 2011's We Need To Talk About Kevin that thrust him into the spotlight in a big way. Add his absolute triumph in 2012'sThe Perks Of Being A Wallflower, and it's obvious that Ezra's star is on the rise.

That star is sure to skyrocket in the coming years, with his role as Cadence in the adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, and the big-screen version of The Flash.

But he's also made his mark with his own individual sense of style, and since today is his 23rd birthday, let's take a look back at how he evolved into the fabulous bohemian thrift store force of nature he is today.

The Ezra Miller evolution.
