Ellen Page, née le 21 février 1987 à Halifax en Nouvelle-Écosse, est une actrice canadienne.
Ayant commencé sa carrière très jeune, elle est révélée au grand public mondial suite au succès de deux films indépendants : le thriller horrifique Hard Candy et la comédie dramatique Juno. Sa performance dans ce long-métrage lui vaut une nomination aux Oscars dans la catégorie meilleure actrice.
Elle confirme en prêtant ses traits à Kitty Pryde dans la franchise X-Men et en faisant partie de la large distribution de l'acclamé blockbuster Inception, de Christopher Nolan.
Parallèlement, elle reste fidèle au cinéma indépendant américain - Smart People , Bliss , Super , To Rome with Love , The East et Touchy Feely - mais sans grand succès commercial.
Suite à son coming-out en 2014, elle s'éloigne d'Hollywood en jouant des films à petit budget : Freeheld, Into the Forest, Tallulah , puis My Days of Mercy, The Cured et L'Expérience interdite - Flatliners .
“Because I like to be comfortable.”
Coming Out Speech (2014)
Contexte: Sometimes it’s the little, insignificant stuff that can tear you down. I try not to read gossip as a rule, but the other day a website ran an article with a picture of me wearing sweatpants on the way to the gym. The writer asked, “Why does [this] petite beauty insist upon dressing like a massive man?” *pause* Because I like to be comfortable.
Coming Out Speech (2014)
Contexte: It’s such an honor to be here at the inaugural Time to THRIVE conference. But it’s a little weird, too. Here I am, in this room because of an organization whose work I deeply admire. And I’m surrounded by people who make it their life’s work to make other people’s lives better—profoundly better. Some of you teach young people—people like me. Some of you help young people heal and to find their voice. Some of you listen. Some of you take action. Some of you are young people yourselves…in which case, it’s even weirder for a person like me to be speaking to you.
Coming Out Speech (2014)
Contexte: There are pervasive stereotypes about masculinity and femininity that define how we are all supposed to act, dress and speak. They serve no one. Anyone who defies these so-called 'norms' becomes worthy of comment and scrutiny. The LGBT community knows this all too well. Yet there is courage all around us. The football hero, Michael Sam. The actress, Laverne Cox. The musicians Tegan and Sara Quinn. The family that supports their daughter or son who has come out. And there is courage in this room. All of you.

Coming Out Speech (2014)
Contexte: There are too many kids out there suffering from bullying, rejection, or simply being mistreated because of who they are. Too many dropouts. Too much abuse. Too many homeless. Too many suicides. You can change that and you are changing it. But you never needed me to tell you that. That’s why this was a little bit weird. The only thing I can really say is what I’ve been building up to for the past five minutes. Thank you. Thank for inspiring me. Thank you for giving me hope, and please keep changing the world for people like me. Happy Valentine’s Day. I love you.

“I just feel so fortunate, you know? … I feel so happy.”
Contexte: I just feel so fortunate, you know? … I feel so happy. I feel so different from how I felt when I was closeted, and to have experiences where I meet people who have been touched in some way by just getting to be who I am is such an incredible experience... I'm in a very fortunate place in my life.
I'm a very privileged person to get to talk about issues, particularly those that affect people much, much more vulnerable to me … I feel really grateful to be in a position where potentially I can do little things or whatever I possibly can to help anyone any way I can.
