Elliot Page Shares How Transitioning Completely Changed His Life for the Better!
When star of The Umbrella Academy Elliot Page opened up on Late Night with Seth Meyers, he didn’t just talk about the drama—he talked about the joy.
What It’s Been Like for Him
- Personal Growth: “It’s made me better in so many facets—person, friend, and relationship.”
- Life Marked Up: “It’s improved my life drastically, and I hope folks who are still upset can hear that and maybe feel some acceptance.”
- Joy & Presence: “I focus on the magnitude of joy I’m feeling and the presence I now have—something I’d never imagined for a long, long time.”
- Community Appeal: “Whether you’re trans, non‑binary, or cis, we’re on the same team—let’s talk about how we’re all surprisingly similar.”
Dealing With the Digital Hate
The 35‑year‑old actor is very grateful for the support from loved ones, but the online negativity is overwhelming. He urges folks to “focus on the positive impact” he’s experienced.
Working on the Show
Elliot plays Vanya Hargreeves—now Viktor—who is also transitioning on screen. He says:
- “Creator Steve Blackman was excited to weave this into the story.”
- “We collaborated with trans writer and journalist Thomas Page McGee, who helped us shape the narrative.”
- “I’m proud of what we’ve built and can’t wait for audiences to see it.”
With the third season of The Umbrella Academy coming up, Elliot looks forward to depicting authentic trans experiences—and a bit of comic‑book flair.
