Elliot Page

The 35-year-old actor reflected on his life, career, and transition in an essay for Esquire published on Wednesday.

I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society." "Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place. "No. That was really extremely, extremely fucked up. "I don't not understand that reaction. I look back at the photos, and I'm like...?" In the piece, he discussed growing up, his childhood best friend, his tattoos, transitioning, and more.

In a new profile, actor Elliot Page opens up about his childhood, the trans experience, and he reflects on times in his career that “almost kill[ed]” him.

So I said I wanted to wear a suit, and Fox Searchlight was basically like, ‘No, you need to wear a dress.’ 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. “I shouldn’t have to treat it like just this thing that happened—this somewhat normal thing. “I think of times when people actively were like, “No, you need to wear a dress” in very, very, very pivotal moments. I remember the premiere of Juno at the Toronto International Film Festival,” Page says. One of these “pivotal” moments took place during the red carpet premiere of Jason Reitman’s Juno. But that’s mixed with: I wish people would understand that that shit literally did almost kill me.”

Elliot Page opens up about everything from the lessons he learned from transitioning to encountering bullying as a kid in expansive essay.

“Bullying puts you in a place where, later, you have so much unlearning to do,” Page said. Page admitted later in the essay that they didn’t expect their coming out as trans to be such a big deal. “I know I look different to others, but to me, I’m just starting to look like myself,” Page wrote.

Elliot Page is an accomplished actor and a trailblazer when it comes to being a trans actor in Hollywood. He opens up about life and his opinion on issues.

In terms of the actual quality of the response, it was what I expected: love and support from many people and hatred and cruelty and vitriol from so many others. “I think when people say, “Oh, he’ll want to play cis male characters now,” the sensation I get is that the subtext is: They think that would be an accomplishment for me. The hatred and the cruelty is so much more incessant.” Bullying puts you in a place where, later, you have so much unlearning to do. The Oscar Nominated star of the Umbrella Academy is one of the most famous trans men in the world, today. We take a closer look at the things he said in this article.

Elliot Page Opens up About Being Forced To Wear a Dress During a 'Juno' Red Carpet: Calling the event "extremely, extremely f*cked up."

“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. He recently opened up to Esquire about how hard it was for him to maintain his mental health during the awards-season press tour for Juno, claiming that he was not okay with the way they made him dress. So I said I wanted to wear a suit, and Fox Searchlight was basically like, ‘No, you need to wear a dress,’” he explained.

Elliot Page attends the 94th Annual Academy Awards at Hollywood and Highland on March 27, 2022 in Hollywood, California. In a new interview with Esquire, Elliot ...

“I dressed how I wanted to dress — not dissimilar to now. He said that someone came up to him on the street and started screaming homophobic slurs at him: “I’m gonna kill you, you f—ing f—–! I’m gonna gay-bash you! It really breaks my heart.

Dress codes used to be thought of as simple in terms of gender. Namely, women wear skirts and dresses while men wear pants and suits.

At least now with the Juno star living as the man he truly is, he was able to embrace that recently by wearing a tux on the red carpet for the first time at this year’s Oscars. He was able to look the way he has always felt inside compared to looking the way people have told him to. In a story from before Elliot Page came out as transgender, he recalls the time when he was forced to wear a dress at the red carpet premiere of Juno. Page continued to talk about the right to wear what you’re comfortable with regardless of your gender.

Elliot Page says it's “scary” that elected officials think their attacks on transgender people are being effective. “Everything that's being said about us ...

You are the ones who are so sensitive, who can’t handle people saying, Hey, can you not do that?” We invite you to join the discussion on Facebook and Twitter. “But I’m sorry: You are the ones who don’t want to have the conversation. That degree of rhetoric is really alarming and horrible,” Page said. Last month, LGBTQ rights organization GLAAD called Ricky Gervais’s latest Netflix special “dangerous,” saying it included “anti-trans rants masquerading as jokes.” “Everything that’s being said about us is all the same shit that was said about LGB people: pedophiles, mentally ill, should they be allowed in the changing rooms.
