Oscar-nominated star Ellen Page has come out as a transgender male named Elliot, six years after he publicly revealed he was gay.

The 33-year-old Canadian actor, who has been married to dancer Emma Portner, 26, since 2018, took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to share an emotional statement with the revelation, writing: 'Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot.

'I feel lucky to be writing this. To have arrived at this place in my life.'


Elliot, who received an Oscar nod for their role in the hit 2008 movie Juno, asking his followers and fans for 'patience', admitting that he is 'scared' of the 'invasiveness, the hate, the jokes, and of the violence' that he may face moving forward.

'My job is real, but it is also fragile,' the actor said, adding: 'The truth is, despite feeling profoundly happy right now and knowing how much privilege I carry, I am also scared.'

I think that it's great that people are able to be who they want to be... He has been in transition for a while.

He was my female celeb and now is my male crush. That's the great thing about being bi. As far as the situation, I would anticipate he comes out as bi. That would be awesome. Definitely going to disappoint some lesbians though.

That makes no sense. Why would he/she come out as bi? She/he has been married to a woman for several years. If she becomes a he and then proclaims to be sometimes gay, what does that say about her/his partner?
