Last time I had to actually use it in conversation I said “Elliott page is in it back when he was Ellen Page”

That’s very logical and easy to understand. Personally I wouldn’t be upset if I was Elliott, but there are many trans people who have a strong aversion to hearing their old name. Again, comes down to the audience, but a lot of folks would say something like, “before he transitioned”, rather than mentioning the old name.
Hope I don’t sound too nitpicky, just wanted to say it in case it helps.
