The film even won an Academy Award for best original screenplay, as well as numerous nominations.
But who was he before all the fame?
And how has he changed over time?
Read on to get all of the deets about the stunning transformation of Elliot Page.
Page hails from our neighbor to the north that’s right, he’s Canadian!
That sounds super idyllic!
Thus the acting bug was planted.
“It’s just mind-boggling, what I do now.
I sometimes think, what if I was sick that day the casting guy came into school?”
he wondered in an interview withThe Guardian.
Obviously, that little bit of luck went a long way.
And because his parents were both in the workforce full-time, Page learned how to be an independent child.
He wasn’t supposed to be unaccompanied on set, so whoever could fill the role of guardian would.
When he turned 16, Page moved to Toronto to pursue acting in the big city.
But soon after, he had to move to Southern California for his first American film.
He was on his way up!
“Yeah, Hard Candy was intense.
My dad came with me to do that,” he shared in an interview withThe Guardian.
“But they were always cool with the subject matter, they trusted me.”
He really must have known that acting was his destiny, and it must have showed.
The movie is not for sensitive viewers, as some of the content is rather graphic.
“It was a very exhilarating feeling, and very addictive.”
But what came next was way bigger.
It was a match made in heaven from the start, clearly.
No wonder Page was the perfect person for the part.
Juno was a massive box office success, catapulting Page directly into the spotlight.
There he spent his time studying permaculture, safely tucked away from the bright lights of Hollywood.
“We created giant composts,” he shared in an interview withThe Guardian.
“One of those kinds of cries where you’re just…
I would not have anticipated that’s what my response would have been.”
So he found what he had been looking for when he arrived.
Page also met his now-BFFIan Danielthere, whom he describes as his “soul twin.”
We can totally see why, given how imaginative the movie was.
“I’m just constantly blown away by all his films,” he continued.
That had to be anamazingexperience.
“I’m going to be perfectly honest,” he confessed in an interview withCollider.
“I was never really into comic books as a kid.
No doubt he’s super familiar with the character now.
“I feel so grateful to be back.”
We can imagine, given what a star-studded affair the film was.
Then he took a breath, and spoke his truth to the room.
“And because maybe I can make a difference.”
Someone is definitely cutting onions in here.
That’s a bold and noble mission.
What a wild experience.
Elliot Page was one of those voices, as he took toFacebookto discuss the harassment he endured in Hollywood.
“I want them to not have power anymore.”
“What I want the most, is for this to result in healing for the victims.
Those are someseriouslywise words.
Page actually first noticed Portner after she posted a dance video on Instagram in 2017.
“I knew right away we were both creative spirits.”
And eventually, the two met and fell in love.
Portner wasn’t the least bit shy about their relationship.
“Elliot is the best, and I still cry every time we part ways for work.
I probably will forever, and I’m okay with that.”
What would he tell his younger self?
If there’s a more succinct way to sum it up, we’re not aware of it.
Keep speaking truth to power, Elliot!
What a wild ride!
That sounds super intense.
Instead, Page took his time on the show to criticize the Trump administration and its policies.
“Connect the dots,” he implored in the interview.
Page announced that his pronouns are he/they and that his name is Elliot.
Page expressed “overwhelming gratitude” for those who have supported him.
He also wasn’t surprised by the hatred that was directed at him after he broke the news.
That’s also one of the reasons he’s become an activist for transgender rights, he explained.
The news came as quite a shock to fans since the couple had always seemed quite happy.
“I am so proud of @elliotpage,” Portner wrote at the time.
“Trans, queer and non-binary people are a gift to this world.
Elliot’s existence is a gift in and of itself.”
Portner ended her post by letting Elliot know she loved him.
“We have the utmost respect for each other and remain close friends.”
kindly excuse us while we go cry in a corner.
He stuck to hiking and walking instead.
“I’m absolutely hooked,” he said.
It’s thrilling.”
Page also enjoys sharing photos of his gains with fans onInstagram.
In addition to working out, Page is also taking care of his body through healthy foods.
He continued, saying, “I’m like, cereal: Good to go.
Or I get fancy and make a frozen burrito.”
In fact, he had his outfit all picked out ahead of time, as he toldEsquire.
He wanted to wear a suit but said he wasn’t allowed.
“And they took me in a big rush to one of those fancy stores on Bloor Street.
They had me wear a dress, and … that was that.”
“That was really extremely, extremely f**ked up,” he said.
Netflix made an announcement about the character prior to the release of the third season.
He toldEsquirethat it’s been amazing to evolve along with the other characters over the past few years.
In August 2021, he signed a deal with Universal’s UCP that offered him priority on upcoming projects.
It sounds like the perfect debut feature of Page’s up-and-coming production company.
“Or even smelling sandalwood for the first time.
