Elliot Page opens up on fully embracing himself as transgender, his journey and top surgery
In an interview to Time, Elliot Page revealed that it was the isolation during the pandemic in 2020 that forced him to confront his reality.
The Umbrella Academy actor Elliot Page made headlines in December 2020 across the globe when he came out as transgender to the world. In a heartwarming message shared on Instagram, Elliot, who was formerly known as Ellen Page, revealed that he was trans and was lucky enough to be penning down a message. Three months since the announcement, Elliot has now opened up about his journey for the first time since he came out.
In an interview to Time, Elliot revealed that it was the isolation during the pandemic in 2020 that forced him to take a deep look and confront his reality. He said, "I had a lot of time on my own to really focus on things that I think, in so many ways, unconsciously, I was avoiding..I was finally able to embrace being transgender and letting myself fully become who I am."
When asked about how his journey on transforming from a gay woman to transgender makes him feel, Elliot revealed, "This feeling of true excitement and deep gratitude to have made it to this point in my life (is) mixed with a lot of fear and anxiety.” Back in December when the Juno star came out to the world, Elliot was reportedly recovering from top surgery.
Speaking about this life-changing experience, Elliot said top surgery has "completely transformed my life.” He also added that he and ex-wife Emma Portner have remained "close friends" ever since their separation last year.
