39-year-old Elliot Page posted a shirtless photo from a boxing ring in New York, and his fans were left speechless. The defined abs, the toned arms, the confidence in the way he poses: everything spoke of years of work. But there was something more in that image, something he didn’t hide.
The scars from his subcutaneous mastectomy could be seen, the surgery he underwent after coming out as a transgender man in December 2020. Page had spoken before about what that moment meant: stepping out of the shower, looking at himself in the mirror, and finally being able to say “there I am”. Without panic. Without hiding his chest under a T-shirt.
In the video that accompanied the photo, he thanked his trainer @coachnol for helping him build not only his physique, but also his mental strength. He is now in a relationship with Julia Shiplett, and has a list of projects that includes working again with Christopher Nolan. But that photo in the ring says something that no professional credit could sum up better. 💪❤️
