From Billy porter to Elton John, Several Hollywood celebrities not only paved the way for the current crop of celebs to live more free lives but also showed the general public that they too can come out without apprehension or fear. However, they dared to be who they are publicly, and many followed suit. Actor Michael Kearns and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres faced huge backlash and hatred when they announced that they were gay. In the past years, many celebrities have struggled with considerable homophobia when they first came out publicly. From shows like ‘Sex Education, ‘Tales Of Cities’ to movies like ‘Call Me By Your Name’, ‘The Half Of It’ to songs like ‘I Will Survive’, ‘I’m Coming Out all bring forth the queer narrative that until very recently wasn’t depicted in popular culture. 'They probably inadvertently were inspired by Ellen Page, but indeed, they had to slightly change the model such that she wouldn't look like Ellen Page because, indeed, we have Ellen Page,' he said.In recent years, Hollywood has done some phenomenal work to explore the sensitive topic of homosexuality. In April, Eurogamer asked Quantic Dream's Guillaume de Fondaumiere about the resemblance, since Ellen Page is actually involved in their game.

After Page's comment over the weekend, The Last of Us creative director Neil Druckmann tweeted support for Johnson, saying 'no one could have done a better job.' Naughty Dog chalked up the resemblance to coincidence. Naughty Dog subsequently announced that Ellie would be played by Ashley Johnson ( What Women Want), and remodeled the character to look more like Johnson. 'I guess I should be flattered that they ripped off my likeness,' she replied, 'but I am actually acting in a video game called Beyond: Two Souls, so it was not appreciated.'Įllie's similarities to Page didn't go unnoticed, and some fans even assumed that the Juno and Inception star would be playing the role. In a Reddit 'Ask Me Anything' thread (via IGN) over the weekend, a fan asked how she felt about The Last of Us and if she would have taken the role of Ellie herself. But Ellie's similarities with actress Ellen Page didn't go unnoticed, and she says it was 'not appreciated.' The Last of Us is one of our favorite games of this year, in part because of the relationship between its lead characters, Joel and Ellie.
