Elliot Page
Born on February 21, 1987, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Elliot Page is an American actor and producer. Raised by a teacher and a graphic designer, Page's innate passion for acting was evident from an early age, leading to his first role at the age of 10 in the CBC television movie Pit Pony. This successful debut kickstarted a career that would span well over two decades, a journey marked by significant milestones and transformative performances.
Page's talent shone brightly in roles across both television and film, but it was the 2007 indie film Juno that catapulted him into international fame. His portrayal of a pregnant teenager earned him an Academy Award nomination, a BAFTA award, and an Independent Spirit Award, affirming his prowess as an actor. From there, Page continued to captivate audiences in a variety of roles, including memorable performances in Inception and the X-Men series, showcasing his versatility and depth.
Off-screen, Page has been a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. In 2014, he publicly came out as gay during a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time to Thrive conference. Six years later, in December 2020, Page shared another personal revelation, announcing that he is transgender and non-binary, and identifying as Elliot. His courage and openness have made him a prominent figure in the fight for equality and acceptance, cementing his legacy not just as a celebrated actor, but also as a powerful voice in the ongoing dialogue about identity and self-expression.
