LOS ANGELES - The Oscar-nominated star of Juno has come out as transgender, introducing himself as Elliot Page on Tuesday in social media posts that voiced joy at sharing the news - but also fear over a possible backlash.
"I love that I am trans. And I love that I am queer," wrote the Canadian-born Page, who has recently starred in Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy. The actor also appeared in the 2009 roller derby comedy Whip It, the 2010 science fiction hit Inception opposite Leonardo DiCaprio, and the 2012 Woody Allen comedy To Rome With Love.
While largely absent from big-budget Hollywood blockbusters since 2014's X-Men: Days Of Future Past, Page has repeatedly shrugged off suggestions of being typecast or shunned by Tinseltown.
