In March 2021, Page addressed his decision to come out as transgender.
"I felt like a boy. I wanted to be a boy. I would ask my mum if I could be someday. I became a professional actor at the age of 10. Of course I had to look a certain way," he explained.
"I just never recognised myself. For a long time I could not even look at a photo of myself... [I didn't know] how to explain to people that even though [I was] an actor, just putting on a T-shirt cut for a woman would make me so unwell."
The Umbrella Academy seasons 1-2 are now streaming on Netflix. Season 3 is due to premiere on June 22.
