Elliot Page’s Boxing Routine Draws Attention Amid Odyssey Casting Debate

Page shared a series of images and video clips on Instagram documenting a training session with New York-based coach Nolan Hanson. The actor, who credits the sport with providing a vital psychological and physical outlet, described Hanson as a brilliant instructor capable of breaking down complex technical drills. The posts sparked an immediate reaction from followers who lauded his transformation and disciplined approach to fitness.

The public display of his physique arrives as a pointed contrast to the recent internet backlash surrounding his involvement in The Odyssey. Speculation that Page would portray Achilles led to intense, transphobic criticism on social media, with figures such as Rob Finnerty and Elon Musk participating in the discourse. These attacks proved unfounded, as confirmed reports indicate Page will play the role of the Greek warrior Sinon. Beyond his current boxing routine, Page has previously emphasized the importance of physical activity to his personal well-being, noting in a 2023 interview his reliance on virtual reality workouts to maintain consistency while traveling. For the actor, this focus on health is closely tied to his journey toward self-acceptance and the freedom he has found through gender-affirming care.
