ELLIOT PAGE is an Academy Award-nominated actor, a producer, and a director who currently stars in the hit series THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY. The career that had been an escape out of his reality was suddenly a nightmare.Īs he navigated criticism and abuse from powerful people in Hollywood and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do. His dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated him and playing the part of the glossy young starlet made his skin crawl, on and off set. With Juno’s massive success, Elliot became one of the world’s most beloved actors. But for Elliot, two steps forward had always come with one step back. Here he was on the precipice of discovering himself as a queer and a trans person, getting closer to his desires and himself, without the repression he’d carried for so long. And then a previously unfathomable experience happened, in front of everyone. The summer air hung heavy as he looked at her. “Can I kiss you?” Months before the premiere of Juno, Elliot Page was in a queer bar for the first time.

The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his performance in Juno finally shares his truth in Pageboy.
