10 Oscar Recognised Movie Roles Actors Regret

10. Elliot Page - Juno

With his starring turn as the titular pregnant teen in 2007's Juno largely putting Elliot Page on the mainstream map, you'd be forgiven for assuming that the powerhouse performer had very few things to regret about the whole experience.

However, as the years have passed by since his Oscar nominated portrayal first hit screens, Page has expressed their disappointment at a joke his character uttered over the course of the flick. With Page coming out as a member of the LGBTQ+ community later down the line, Juno stating that the name "Madison" sounds "a little gay" for her child has become a moment that he admits feels homophobic and problematic upon a rewatch.

Going further, Page told Bustle a few years ago:

"It wasn’t something I totally registered at the time, but, of course, now that I’m older I do. So many movies I loved as a kid are just rampant with homophobia and transphobia and biphobia, and I’m not excusing it by any means."

And when the star was brought back to do a script reading of the film for Planned Parenthood, Page made a point of missing out that line altogether.
