Although this actress isn’t our typical girly girl who flaunts her feminine style, what we love about this 23-year-old Canadian is that she’s funny, outspoken, and definitely has true acting talent, with credentials that rank her next to actors twice her age! She’s acted alongside big names such as Drew Barrymore, Sarah Jessica Parker and Jennifer Garner, and on Friday she’ll be on the big screen with one of Hollywood’s best, Leonardo DiCaprio! It’s no wonder this week’s girl crush is non-other than the “Inception” star, Ellen Page.
She’s best known for her adaptation of the loveable witty pregnant teenager in the Indie film “Juno” in 2007. It’s this performance that landed her an Academy Award nomination, and a Golden Globe nomination, and won her an MTV Movie Award, an Independent Spirit Award and a Canadian Comedy Award ... you know, just to name a few!
And, since then she’s kept us laughing too, with films such as “Smart People” and “Whip It.” She even hosted “Saturday Night Live” back in 2008 and lent her voice to a “Simpsons” episode where she played the character of “Alaska Nebraska,” a spinoff of “Hannah Montana.”
But don’t let Ellen Page fool you, she definitely can be a serious gal too! She’s campaigned against military dictatorship in Burma, calls herself a feminist and pro-choice, and now you’ll be able to see her in the Christopher Nolan mystery thriller, “Inception,” where she plays the young architectural student that Leonardo recruits to join his group of dream thieves.
Don’t forget to check out Ellen Page in “Inception” which hits theatres July 16th!
