Elliot Page “knew” that he was an entertainment boy as a toddler
Elliot Page “knew it [he] was a boy “when he was a toddler.
The 34-year-old star – formerly known as Ellen – came out transgender in December 2020, but the Umbrella Academy actor admitted he had assumed a male identity at a young age.
Speaking to Vanity Fair magazine, Elliott said, “All trans people are so different and my story is absolutely just my story. But yes, when I was a little kid I was 100% a boy.
“I knew I was a boy when I was a toddler. I wrote fake love letters and signed them “Jason”. Every little aspect of my life is who I was, who I am and who I was myself. “
The ‘Juno’ star finally feels like he is who he really is, but there is still a “grief” about his situation.
He continued, “I just couldn’t understand when I was told, ‘No, you are not. No, you can’t be that when you’re older. You feel it
“Now I finally feel the way I am, and it’s so beautiful and extraordinary, and it’s a grief in a way.”
Elliot – who split from Mrs. Emma Portner last year – finally feels able to “just exist” and feel relaxed in any situation.
He said, “The most significant difference is that I am really able to just exist. Just exist to myself as if I were able to sit with myself. No constant distractions, all of those things that are unaware or not even overly open.
“For the first time in, I don’t even know how long, [I am] really just being able to sit alone, be alone, be productive, and be creative. It’s so easy to put it that way, but I’m fine. I feel a significant difference in my ability to just exist – not just from day to day, but from moment to moment.
“This is the first time that I feel really present with people, that I can just be very relaxed and not have the fear that always pulls.”
And the actor hopes that satisfaction will help in his career.
He said, “When it comes to acting, I don’t really think I know yet. I just feel a lot more comfortable and present, so it’s hard to imagine that it doesn’t affect the work because, really, present being is ultimately what you want – you are ultimately just trying to break up and be present and connect with the truth of a moment.
“So I imagine the more I can embody who I am and exist in the body I want to exist in, the more there will be a difference.”
