Elliot Page says he's able to "fully" embrace who he is after coming out as transgender months ago. The 34-year-old "Umbrella Academy" star tells Time in its latest cover story that he anticipated "a lot of support and love and a massive amount of hatred and transphobia" upon announcing in December that he is transgender.
And "that's essentially what happened," he told the magazine. The actor detailed the difficulties he faced during his rise to fame as a child star before landing female roles in big blockbusters like "Juno" and "Inception." Playing these roles on camera was a part of his job as an actor, but struggling with his identity at an early age proved to add to the pressures of being in the spotlight.
