Wentworth Miller Owes His Career To Mariah Carey

Wentworth Miller has admitted that he owes his career to Mariah Carey.

The Prison Break star says that he credits Mimi with giving him his big break when she asked him to appear in the video for her single, We Belong Together.

He tells the Daily Star: “Mariah’s an international icon. The two days I spent working on her video did more for my career, gave me more exposure, than anything I’d done before Prison Break.

“I’m grateful for the opportunity.”

Wentworth also shrugs off questions about his status as a sex symbol, claiming that his brooding stare owes more to his bad eye-sight than a deliberate attempt to look intense.

“It’s a little bit strange, all that sex symbol stuff,” he says. “The fact is I look the same as I’ve looked for the past 10 or 15 years. My eyes aren’t suddenly a more compelling shade of green.

“People go on about the ‘brooding look’ a lot but usually I’m just squinting because my eyes are sensitive.”

Bless 'im.
