Having lived through a major car accident himself, Miles Teller was faced with further tragedy when two of his close friends died one year later in crashes within weeks of one another. Opening up about the accidents, Teller told The Guardian, “Nick, passed away in a motorcycle accident: a car ran a stop sign and T-boned him.” Unfortunately, Nick was only on life support for a day before it became evident that he would not survive his injuries. As Teller told Esquire, “I was in the hospital when they pulled the plug on my one friend. I knew what it felt like to hug a mother the day she lost her son.”
Just weeks later, another of the actor’s close friends, Beau, died due to another car accident. “And I was actually sitting next to Beau at Nick’s funeral,” he emotionally revealed to The Guardian. “So at my 21st birthday, seven of my buddies are there, five months later, two of them are gone.”
The actor told Esquire that the director of “Rabbit Hole,” John Cameron Mitchell, asked him to use the devastating experiences to fuel his role in the film. “I want you to see your friend Beau,” Mitchell apparently urged Teller, who plays a character who is responsible for the death of a couple’s young son. “I didn’t wanna do it,” he explained, which is more than understandable.
