Canada Elliot Page has transitioned from acclaimed actor and producer to a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, using his platform to promote trans visibility and acceptance.
Bell Media and PAGEBOY Productions, founded by Elliot Page, announced a co-development deal "to develop bold, original..." series.
Elliot Page worked with the Gucci team for their Guilty fragrance campaign, alongside Julia Garner and A$AP Rocky. This marked his first-ever fragrance partnership.
Elliot Page appeared in a series of advertisements for Cisco Systems, including commercials set in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia.
Elliot Page signed a first-look deal with UCP "to develop scripted and unscripted projects across broadcast, cable and streaming platforms."
Elliot Page was born on February 21, 1987, in Halifax, Nova Scotia, to Martha Philpotts, a teacher, and Dennis Page, a graphic designer. He began his acting career early, making his on-camera debut in 1997 at the age of ten in the CBC Television movie ‘Pit Pony,’ which later became a television series. His early work also included roles in ‘Marion Bridge’ (2002), ‘Trailer Park Boys’ (2002), and ‘ReGenesis’ (2004). These foundational experiences helped develop his skills before he gained international recognition. After graduating from Shambhala School in 2005, Page further honed his craft by studying in the Interact Program at Vaughan Road Academy in Toronto.
Page’s career breakthrough arrived in 2005 with his portrayal of Hayley Stark in the film ‘Hard Candy,’ a role that earned him critical acclaim for its complex and disturbing nature. He then appeared as Kitty Pryde in ‘X-Men: The Last Stand’ (2006). His widespread recognition came with the title role in the 2007 coming-of-age dramedy ‘Juno,’ where his performance as a pregnant teenager garnered an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, making him the fourth-youngest nominee at the time. This propelled him into other significant projects such as ‘Whip It’ (2009) and Christopher Nolan’s ‘Inception’ (2010), where he played Ariadne. In 2013, he expanded into video games, portraying Jodie Holmes in ‘Beyond: Two Souls,’ earning praise for his motion-capture and voice acting.
Since 2017, Page has been a main cast member in Netflix’s ‘The Umbrella Academy,’ portraying Vanya (later Viktor) Hargreeves, a role that further cemented his prominence. In 2020, Page publicly came out as a trans man, adopting the name Elliot and using ‘he/they’ pronouns. This marked a significant personal and professional shift, with Netflix updating his credits and his character in ‘The Umbrella Academy’ also transitioning to male. Page has since become a prominent advocate for LGBTQ+ rights, publishing his memoir ‘Pageboy’ in 2023, which debuted on The New York Times Best Sellers List. He also co-directed the documentary ‘There’s Something in the Water’ (2019) and continues to take on diverse roles and production responsibilities.
