Elliot Page is so "comfortable and happy" since transitioning

He told Metro.co.uk: "It was instantaneous. It is only increasing, to be honest, the further along I [go]. It's usually one of the first things anybody says to me is basically just like, you're so different in terms of being comfortable and happy and present and all those things."

The 'Close to You' actor recently revealed he gets misgendered "all the time" but he doesn't let it bother him.

He told the Guardian newspaper: "I get misgendered all the time, and I don't care unless someone's trying to, you know [be mean]."

Elliot plays a trans man in his new film 'Close to You' and the character corrects his onscreen mother when she misgenders him, and the actor insists he wouldn't have the same reaction in real life.

He explained: "I want to be clear: I wouldn't correct [her] as me. I'd be like: 'It's fine. We're going to move on from the moment. It takes a second'.

"But, you know, I'm not me. I'm [the character] Sam here. And that moment was so perfect because that's what happens."

Elliot went on to reveal his own mother has the odd slip-up but it's never an issue.

He added: "She's pretty good. I'm like, 'Of course, it's going to take you a second, mom. It's fine. You don't need to beat yourself up about it!'"

When it comes to his dating life, Elliot recently insisted he is "exhilarated" to be single.

The 'Juno' star is not dating anyone at the moment and is enjoying being on his own because he previously developed a bad habit of getting into relationships for "selfish" reasons.

Speaking to Jay Shetty on the 'On Purpose' podcast, Elliot explained: "'I feel exhilarated by the fact that I can be alone. I'm very much enjoying connecting with people, maybe having some fun, but sort of just being on my own right now. So, I'm single."

Prior to his transition, Elliot dated Samantha Thomas and was married to Emma Portner for two years.
