Ellen DeGeneres, Anna Kendrick and More Stars Support Elliot Page for Coming Out as Transgender
The love is flooding in for Elliot Page, who came out as transgender on Tuesday.
Shortly after the star of Juno and Netflix's Umbrella Academyreleased a lengthy statement on Twitter and Instagram, declaring, "I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot," several stars showed their support for the actor on social media. Page uses both he/him and they/them pronouns; this story will use he/him when referring to Page.
Mark Hoppus, the bassist for Blink-182, was one of the first to give Page praise, tweeting, "Congrats to Elliot Page. Never met you, don't know you at all, but you, your compassion, and your bravery have my love and support."

I’ve never met Elliot Page, tho I’ve been at events & shyly waved. I’ve been a huge fan ever since “Juno” and - in real life - get nervous around people I adore. So I’ve just enjoyed his work - films & docs - from afar. Next time I’m not only saying hi, I’m saying “Thank you.” ❤️
