Starring as the pregnant 16-year-old in the 2007 movie that garnered critical acclaim, Page found themselves grappling with conflicting emotions as they rose to fame in the role.

Formerly known as Ellen, Page started publicly identifying as a trans man in 2020, following their success in ‘Juno’ and other projects.

The actor revealed in a recent interview that despite the positive aspects of starring in the film, they struggled with a deep sense of self-loathing and guilt for not fully embracing the experience.

Page expressed a mix of love for the film, their fellow actors, and the overall experience, but also acknowledged feeling boxed in and facing a period of difficulty after the movie’s release.

Transitioning and being able to live authentically as Elliot has brought a newfound sense of inspiration to the actor, who also shared details about their journey in the memoir ‘Pageboy’ released last year.

In the memoir, Page opened up about feeling more connected to their acting and finding a renewed passion for their craft post-transition.

The actor also shared intimate details about their experience filming ‘Juno’, including a relationship with co-star Olivia Thirby, with whom Page found solace and comfort during a challenging time.

Elliot Page’s journey from ‘Juno’ to their current roles in projects like ‘Umbrella Academy‘ showcases a remarkable evolution both personally and professionally, inspiring fans and fellow artists alike.
