Elliott Page looks very pleased with his new passport photo.
The 35-year-old actor, who uses the pronouns he/they, shared his new passport photo, which likely reflects his correct gender identity and name change.
In the photo, the Juno star wore a black T-shirt over a silver necklace.

Their dark hair was cut with bangs that lay in the middle of their foreheads.
The Inception actor was not smiling in the photo, which is standard for Canadian passports since Page was born and holds citizenship in the country.
He captioned the photo: “I never thought I’d like a passport photo.”
The new passport photo marks another milestone in Paige’s life since coming out as transgender in 2020.

After coming out, the star ended his relationship with his then-wife Emma Portner.
The actor is currently believed to be single after they filed legal documents in a Manhattan court seeking to dissolve their three-year marriage to professional dancer Emma, 26, in January 2021.
Emma “proudly” supported her partner’s decision to come out as transgender and later confirmed the pair had split before the news went public.
In a statement to DailyMail.com, Elliott and Emma revealed that they had actually “broken up last summer” before the actor came out as transgender and decided to make the split official.
“After much thought and careful consideration, we have made the difficult decision to divorce following our separation last summer,” the statement read. “We respect each other immensely and remain close friends.”

Feeling good: Elliott has been vocal about how their post-transition life has ‘dramatically improved’ in recent interviews
Before releasing a statement, Emma and Elliot removed all images of each other from their respective Instagram accounts in what appeared to be a very clear message about the future of their marriage.
However, Elliot and Emma still follow each other on the social media app.
In a recent appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers, Elliott talked about how his life since transitioning has “improved dramatically.”
Elliott explained that he reflected on “a lot of difficult times in my life, certain struggles and obstacles and all of that, and I think ultimately going through that really deepens your empathy.
“I think of the moments in my life when I felt most uncomfortable. Where I was at my worst was when I was angriest. And I was the most unkind to myself or the most complacent or all of those things. It has improved my life dramatically,” Elliott said.
He added: “I hope that people who have a problem with me might try to hear this and accept it on some level.”

Seth asked them how they’ve dealt with the negative reactions to their transition, though Elliott said they want to focus on the “level of joy” they feel has been extraordinary.
“What I want to focus on right now, and it’s been so extraordinary, is the degree of joy that I feel, the degree of presence that I feel, I feel in a way that I really never thought possible in a long, long time,” Elliott said.
“That’s really what I focus on and embrace the most. But of course the timing can be overwhelming,” Elliott continued.
They added that the negativity is “Unfortunately because we’re all on the same team here, you know if you’re trans, non-binary, gender non-conforming CIS, we all have these expectations and these kinds of restrictions and limitations because of us, sort of people’s obsession with the binary system and how we should all live our lives.
“It would be so special to me that we could all connect and talk about how similar we are in all of our journeys,” they added.
Since it came out, his character on Netflix’s Umbrella Academy has also changed.
