Elliot Page Says 'Juno' Fame Almost Killed Him

Elliot Page covers ‘Esquire's summer issue, where he gets candid about his mental health struggles at the height of his ‘Juno’ fame. The actor recalls not being ok in his early to mid-twenties and the pressure of conforming to gender expectations becoming coming out as transgender in 2020.

I've always thought that Page was awkward, now after this interview I feel like boy or girl he's still just as awkward.

[KrimsonRose]

I mean no disrespect but didn’t he audition for the parts knowing what the parts were about… it’s not like someone forced him to audition and keep playing the roles he claims made him have panic attacks for the way the character was to be dressed.

Very cute tomboy. Sorry she didn't appreciate herself for who she really was and changed to be who she thought she needed to be. Sad someone is convinced they are so limited by their gender they think they gotta deny it. Talk about the epitome of stereotyping.

[Bienville]

She is such a pretty girl. Tragic that she mutilated her body in this way.

[dadriamcgregor]

Is it me or does it seem like Elliott still isn't happy ?? Not just based on this interview but also in other pics ...etc

[milagrosroman]

Now he looks and sounds more unwell than ever

[andieallison]

Juno didn't kill him, body dysmorphia and not being able to come out is what killed him.

[martavega]

This message is so dangerous. Being a tomboy and hating dresses has nothing to do with being transexual.

[southernbelladonna]

Elliot seems way more anxious and miserable than Ellen. Just my observation.

[nightly]

If she wasn't comfortable playing a female character, why did she accept the role of a female character

[danarnett]

I feel sorry for that person’s ongoing confusion. I would venture to say that even as a male, he still is dealing with crap that he isn’t admitting. Human. All of us.

Honestly the funniest thing here is that under this video YouTube offers for you to "Buy or Rent Juno"
😂

[Elena-erzp]

he looked uncomfortable back then. he looks uncomfortable now.

[James]

She identified as female during and after the filmJuno, so technically the fame from Juno almost killed HER.
There, fixed it for you...

[goodvibe]

Before: She has been chasing by many men.
Now: Same 😂

[edwardrichard]

Playing dress up doesn’t make you a man or solves your problems

[blergyadig]

We're in a *media frenzied mental health crisis*

[america_has_fallen]

Mental illness is a huge problem and it should not be praised but helped with professionally

[bijoulille]

Hollywood is punishing her for making a movie where she didn’t kill her baby

[justicewillprevail]

Lots of young ppl think their awkwardness is due to genders issues when in fact it’s stem from many other deep rooted issues. Whenever I feel confident, feel as if I can wear a garbage bag and I would still feel great about myself. But when I’m feeling down, I can wear the most beautiful clothes and I still feel bad about myself.
