Playing Gertrude is when an older character in the cast is played by a younger actor. Kitty is still fairly young, given Magneto and X are around. Not to mention just being a few years off is shoehorning.


* PlayingGertrude: In ''Film/XMenDaysOfFuturePast'' Kitty is in her early 30s. Ellen Page was only in her late-20s during filming. This is possibly her only character who is older than her.

* DawsonCasting: Almost always plays a teenager, despite already being in her twenties. Understandable however given that she actually looks considerably younger than she is. ''Film/{{Super}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' have had her playing characters in their early twenties, which she was. Toyed with for Beyond: Two Souls, in which she visually ages but is still recognisable as EllenPage, and voices herself from about the teens onward, naturally being too old to do a child's voice any more.

* TypeCasting: For quite some time, Ellen Page was typecast as an atypical, rebellious teenage girl [[DeadpanSnarker with an attitude]]. However, her involvement in works such as ''{{Peacock}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' indicates a shift to more varied roles.

Don\'t trope creators on creator pages as if they were fictional characters. Also, Lipstick Lesbian is explicitly No Real Life Examples Please.


* ButchLesbian[=/=]LipstickLesbian: Having since come out, she comes between these if anything (she's not especially "butch", nor exceptionally "girly"). Could be considered a female case of StraightGay.



** Page herself is this in RealLife, more or less - as a child, she liked to climb trees and play with action figures; as an adult, she could be considered a TomboyWithAGirlyStreak, judging by the way she dresses half the time.

!!This actress provides examples of:

* CanNotTellAJoke: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAGLKhAaBqY The basis of this video.]]
* CelebrityEndorsement: Ellen gets paid to promote... computer networking products for Cisco in a campaign portraying a GrassIsGreener little town as the new tech hub of the universe (which just happens to be in her home province of [[CanadaEh Nova Scotia]]).
* DawsonCasting: Almost always plays a teenager, despite already being in her twenties. Understandable however given that she actually looks considerably younger than she is. ''Film/{{Super}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' have had her playing characters in their early twenties, which she was. Toyed with for Beyond: Two Souls, in which she visually ages but is still recognisable as EllenPage, and voices herself from about the teens onward, naturally being too old to do a child's voice any more.
* DyeingForYourArt: She had her head shaved on camera for ''Film/MouthToMouth'', and starved herself to play a torture victim for ''Film/AnAmericanCrime''.
* FakeAmerican: Anyone remember when she last played a Canadian?
* PintSizedPowerhouse:
** Totally owned the [[Film/{{X-Men}} Juggernaut]].
** And did you see [[HardCandy what she did]] to [[Film/{{Watchmen}} Nite Owl]]?
** Not to mention [[{{Inception}} bending Paris in half.]]
** Um...she...did bad things...to [[Film/{{Super}} Rainn Wilson]].
* PlayingAgainstType: A shallow, selfish and prosmicuous pseudo-intellectual actress in ''To Rome with Love''.
* TeensAreShort: The reason for her TypeCasting below. She looks on the bright side, though:
--> I'm a total shrimp, which makes me [[OlderThanTheyLook look younger]]. I'll be able to stay in that area longer, which is good, because there's more competition in your 20s.
* {{Tomboy}}: Many of her characters are like this.
* TypeCasting: For quite some time, Ellen Page was typecast as an atypical, rebellious teenage girl [[DeadpanSnarker with an attitude]]. However, her involvement in works such as ''{{Peacock}}'' and ''Film/{{Inception}}'' indicates a shift to more varied roles.
