Elliot Page delighted with new passport photo after gender change

Elliot Page has shared his new passport photo on Instagram and admitted how much he loves it.

The actor, who goes by the pronouns he/they, posted the photo to his six million followers with the caption: "Never thought I would love a passport photo!"

The Juno and Whip It actor can be seen wearing a black T-shirt over a silver necklace. His hair is worn short and cropped.

Page's post had been liked more than one million times at the time of writing, with many followers replying with words of encouragement.

"That’s a keeper," wrote Canadian producer Jeff King

"Best passport photo I've seen," added film director Reed Morano.

The actor first announced his transition on social media in December 2020 and went on Oprah Winfrey 's show to talk about it in more detail, discussing his "duty" to go public with the news.

He said: "I was expressing this to people in my life much before posting that letter and telling people for the first time and knowing I wanted a moment to become comfortable in myself and to be able to get to that point.

"For me, in this time we're in right now and especially with this horrible backlash we're seeing towards trans people, particularly trans youth, it really felt imperative to do so."

Elliot also made reference to the laws in some US states that limit access to certain medical treatments for young transgender people.

He told Oprah that it was "crucial and important" to publicly come out.

he told TIME Magazine last year: "I felt like a boy... I wanted to be a boy. I would ask my mom if I could be someday."

The actor has been sharing some social media posts showing off his defined abdominal muscles.

In an Instagram post from May 2021, the actor was seen topless and rocking a pair of aviators and a black baseball cap as he enjoyed the sunshine.

Broad City's Ilana Glazer posted: "look a dat handsome boi" while Genesis Rodriguez said: "that smile!"

Umbrella Academy co-star commented: "okkk summer ready."

Page ended his relationship with his former wife, Emma Portner, after announcing his gender transition in 2020. Page filed for divorce in January 2021. The split was finalised shortly thereafter.
