Elliot Page is drawing attention after sharing new photos and videos from a boxing workout, with fans praising his muscular physique and dedication to fitness.
The actor, who has made boxing a key part of his routine, offered a glimpse into his training alongside coach Nolan Hanson while reflecting on the sport’s importance in his life.
Elliot Page’s physique showcase comes amid intense online debate over the actor’s casting in Christopher Nolan‘s upcoming adaptation of “The Odyssey.”
Page is earning praise from fans after sharing a glimpse of his fitness journey and the boxing training that has become a major part of his routine.
The actor recently posted a series of photos and videos on Instagram highlighting a workout session with New York boxing coach Nolan Hanson. In one image, Page posed alongside Hanson after training, while additional clips showed him working through a series of punches and drills inside the ring.
Accompanying the post, Page expressed gratitude for his coach, describing Hanson as a talented instructor and “brilliant teacher,” highlighting not only his ability to break down complex techniques but also his “strategic understanding of boxing and his thoughtful approach to the psychological side of the sport.”
The actor described training as an “essential” part of his life and encouraged others interested in boxing to give it a try, joking that they might become just as “hooked” on the sport as he is.
Fans Marvel At The Actor’s Boxing Physique After Backlash Over His Casting In ‘The Odyssey’
The post quickly drew attention from followers, many of whom were stunned by Page’s athletic physique. Fans flooded the comments section with reactions, praising his dedication to training and physical transformation.
“BRO IS RIPPED,” one fan wrote, while another commented: “HOLY COW KING, you are absolute gym goals, congrats on what you’ve achieved!!!”
The praise for Page’s build comes amid harsh remarks over his casting in “The Odyssey,” alongside stars like Matt Damon, Zendaya, Lupita Nyong’o, Tom Holland, Charlize Theron and Anne Hathaway.
Most of the criticism was due to rumors claiming he would be playing the part of Achilles in the movie. At the time, social media was flooded with crude and transphobic comments attacking the actor.
“The most famous warrior in all of history, not just Greek history, Achilles, is about to be played by a transgender woman in a brand new movie,” American TV host Rob Finnerty said in May, before proceeding to deadname the star, per The Tab.
The richest man in the world and X owner, Elon Musk, even joined the pile-on, commenting “Banger” in response to a post on his platform mocking Page.
All that internet fury ended up being for nothing as recent updates confirmed that Page is taking on the role of Sinon, who serves as a Greek warrior during the Trojan War.
Elliot Page Opens Up About His Love For Virtual Reality Workouts
Page has previously spoken about the role fitness plays in his life, particularly while traveling for work. In a 2023 interview with GQ, the “Juno” star revealed that he often relies on virtual reality workouts to stay active on the road.
“I bring that with me so then when I’m in a hotel, I can do it pretty much anywhere as long as there’s WiFi,” he said.
Although he does not consider himself a traditional gym enthusiast, he said the interactive nature of virtual workouts makes staying active more enjoyable.
“I’m telling you, it’s a game changer. I can’t stress it enough,” he said. “I’ve gotten so many people hooked on this. I don’t know what I was doing before without it.”
Elliot Page Reflects On How Gender-Affirming Care Brought Him New Freedom: ‘The Joy I Feel In My Body’
For Page, his fitness journey has been about more than physical strength. He has also been open about what it means to finally feel comfortable in his own body.
Since coming out as transgender in 2020, the “X-Men” actor has spoken openly about the challenges he previously faced, particularly during the summer months. After undergoing gender-affirming top surgery, he shared a shirtless photo on social media in 2023 and reflected on how dramatically his relationship with his body had changed.
At the time, Page explained that “Dysphoria used to be especially rife in the summer,” especially during warmer weather, when hiding beneath layers of clothing became more challenging. He described the freedom of enjoying the sun without that burden as a feeling he never thought he would experience.
“The joy I feel in my body. I am so grateful for what gender affirming care has allowed me, and I look forward to sharing more of my journey soon. #transjoy,” he wrote.
Elliot Page Reflects On Growing Up Queer And Feeling Isolated
That sense of self-acceptance has also shaped Page’s advocacy work. While promoting the documentary “Second Nature” in April, the actor reflected on growing up queer and the importance of visibility and representation.
Directed by filmmaker Drew Denny, the documentary explores same-sex behavior and gender diversity throughout the animal kingdom, challenging assumptions that such traits are unusual in nature.
The actor said he was drawn to the project because it examines information that has often been overlooked or excluded from mainstream education. He noted that many LGBTQ+ young people grow up feeling isolated because they rarely see themselves reflected in the stories and lessons they encounter.
Reflecting on his own childhood, Page recalled feeling alone and believing there was something wrong with him, emotions he said are common among queer people navigating stigma, censorship and a lack of representation.
“And I think that sense of growing up as a queer kid and feeling alone — ’cause you feel like you are alone, even, of course, in retrospect, you’re not — you weren’t. You feel excluded, you feel like something’s wrong with you,” he said.
Page added that expanding conversations around gender and sexuality can help challenge narrow ideas about the natural world and encourage a broader understanding of diversity, both in nature and in human experience.
