Elliot Page spoke soberly and looked down as the actor explained how overjoyed he is following his transition from female to male. The Hollywood star - who transitioned 13 years after shooting to global stardom in the hit movie Juno - said 'I understood my truth' as he stood outside the U.S. Supreme Court on December 4 along with other activists to appeal Tennessee's law banning gender-affirming care for minors.

Many online users quickly noted that the somber actor spoke in a dull manner and appeared to look sad, leading them to speculate Page's happiness following the life-changing decision. Meanwhile, others appreciated what he had to say - and weren't affected by the actor's demeanor, as he appears to speak in that tone normally.

In the clip, the Canadian actor, 37, shared what he would tell his younger self after transitioning in 2020. 'You know who you are, you know, and please embrace that,' Page said stoically, breaking up his words with some light laughter. 'I feel, for me, it was - I understood my truth. I felt it very strongly. And it was all of these external forces and noises that pushed and pulled, and me sort of loose track of who I was.

'And so, I guess to my younger self I'd say that discomfort and that pain that you're feeling - that is not yours. That is theirs,' he said, adding that continuing on the journey of 'embracing who you really are' will 'lead you to happiness.'.
