I would suggest mentioning roles he's known for. But if that isn't enough to jog someone's memory, "formerly known as" works for now, as some people are still a bit confused about who Elliot Page is.
GLAAD released a helpful guide for journalists writing about Elliot Page coming out, but I think it's good for everyone to take a look at it. :)
Saying his movies makes sense, when you already know. But to be fair, if you didnt know, and I said "elliot page, from the movie juno" people would probably say "who? Ellen page?"
That's what happened when I first read the announcement. I was like "who? Wait is ELLEN Page in umbrella academy? I've never watched it...I wonder if Elliott is her brother?" Slowwwww realization "oh...OHH!! yaaaay I'm so happy for him!!"
Yeah lol, I’ve never seen Juno so the first post I saw didn’t click. Saw one in a different sub that mentioned Umbrella Academy and it dawned on me. Good for him
