Elliot Page, who was celebrated for his role in the 2008 film 'Juno', for which he was nominated for an Oscar in 2008, also appeared at the 94th Academy Awards.
Elliot used to be called Ellen, and in 2020 he discovered he was a transgender man and changed his name. Eight years ago, then Ellen, admitted being a lesbian, and four years later she married Canadian dancer Emma Portner, from whom she has since divorced.
'Dear friends, I want to share with you that I am a transgender person, I use the pronouns he/they for myself and my name is Elliot. I feel happy to be able to write this, to be in this place in my life. I am incredibly grateful for the people who support me on this journey. Please also be patient. I am happy, but also in great fear of an invasion of my life, hatred, jokes and violence, ' he wrote at the time.
'I'm very proud of Elliot. Trans, queer and non-binary persons are a gift to this world. I ask for your patience and privacy and to join me in supporting trans life every day. I love being trans and queer and my love goes to everyone like me. I see you, I love you ', he added at the time.
In the same year, he decided on a transformation and talked about everything for Time magazine. 'What I expected was great support and love, but also a huge amount of hatred and transphobia. That's what happened, 'said Page. He added that as a child he often had the desire to get a short haircut and that he struggled with his gender identity for decades.
Recall, after he became famous, he also discovered that he was struggling with depression, anxiety and panic attacks. 'I just never found myself. I couldn't even look at my photo for a long time ', he said and described how the operations changed his life.
'It wasn't just an operation, it was a change of life and saving him,' Elliot said, noting that it was the pandemic that led him to come to terms with his gender identity.
