Elliot Page is loving the skin he is in these days – and it all started from him undergoing top surgery.The Canadian actor, 39, said the gender-affirming procedure was both ‘life-changing’ and ‘live-saving’ for him, as it allowed him to finally feel comfortable in his body.He’s continued to work on his dream physique in the years since and recently unveiled the results of all of his hard work by sharing a shirtless snap to Instagram flaunting his six pack.Page – who shot to fame in the 2007 film Juno – previously opened up about the impact having top surgery had on him both mentally and physically.During a sit down with Oprah Winfrey in 2021 for her AppleTV+ show The Oprah Conversation, the screen star said he finally felt like he was the person he was supposed to be.

For those who don’t know, top surgery is an operation which involves the removal of breast tissue to create a more masculine appearance.And for Page, it was an incredibly ‘freeing experience’, as he explained: “I want people to know that not only has it been life-changing for me, I do believe it is life-saving and it’s the case for so many people.”The Umbrella Academy star said he felt it was both ‘crucial and important’ to announce his transition, especially as the LGBTQ+ community was facing ‘horrible backlash’ at the time.He explained he found joy in the small wins that top surgery has introduced to his life, such as being able to comfortably wear clothing that he wants and the fact he could now tie a towel around his waist after showering.
