In addition to Page's bright smile, the most eye-catching thing in the photo is his 8-pack abs.
Although it still looks a little thin and thin, the well-defined muscles show a different masculine beauty than women.
It's hard to believe that he was the "she" who starred in the Hollywood movies Juno, Inception and The Umbrella Academy.

Over 2 million likes
Within 13 hours of the photo being published, it received more than 2 million likes and quickly rushed to Twitter.
Inside, an American media outlet, also commented that Elliot Page showed off her chest and scars on social media for the first time.
The so-called scar is the nipple on the chest.
If Elliot Page wants to be a man, he must have Top surgery.
Also known as double mastectomy, this procedure makes the breasts more masculine by completely removing breast tissue and shaping the contours.
Double mastectomy leaves two scars under the pectoral muscles, just like the chest shown in Page's photo.
After completing the surgery in December last year, Page underwent a chest skin restoration treatment. In recent months, he has been recuperating in Toronto, Canada. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he didn't go out to shoot.
Paige's before and after transsexuality
In an interview with Time magazine in March, Page said he was recovering from sex reassignment surgery.
"It completely changed my life," he said of the transgender process, explaining that before the transgender, he would feel uncomfortable wearing a women's T-shirt on the set of the film, but now he feels very comfortable.
On his first day in December, he officially declared himself transgender on social media.
And changed the name from Ellen Page to Elliot Page.
There is no shortage of superstars in Hollywood who have announced their coming out, and there are only a handful of people who have made such direct announcements that they are transgender.
Page wrote: "I am incredibly grateful to the incredible people who have supported me along the way. I can't put into words how amazing it feels to finally fall in love with my true self and pursue my true self. ”
He also said that he was happy to be a transgender person, but he also knew that happiness was fragile because of social prejudice, humiliation and violence against transgender people.
Over the years, Page has been protecting this "fragile happiness."
He has spoken out for the gay community many times, and has also made a documentary with gay friends, "Gaycation", which focuses on the living conditions of the LGBT community around the world.
Referring to his state of mind after declaring himself a transgender person, Page revealed that he felt a lot of support and love from the outside world, of course, there was hatred, but he said he did not regret it.
In fact, earlier, when he announced that he was gay, some media asked him whether coming out would affect the film and television industry to provide him with a role.
At that point, he had to take a deep breath, nod, or even sigh.
"If I say, 'This is not something I'm afraid of, then I'm lying, and that's the main reason so many people haven't stepped forward.' But for me, living out who I am is far more important than starring in any movie. ”

Page was born in Canada to a graphic designer father and a French teacher to a French teacher.
But at a very young age, my parents divorced. His childhood was spent between two houses in his parents' house. He once said that this jumping life may have given him the gift of adapting to new places very quickly.
Page loves sports, often rides his bicycle to the forest, swims and dives in the lake, and often plays football, and his kicking skills are very good.
Another talent for him was his passion for theatre, and when he watched Phantom of the Opera with his mother, he quickly learned all the songs.
Back at school, he joined the drama club, and soon after, a casting director discovered the girl with exquisite facial features.
The first film in which Peppa Jr. starred was Pit Pony. The film swept across Canada and was spawned into a television series.
Gradually becoming a child star, some shackles also struck. "I feel like I haven't been my real self since I was 10 years old."
Since then, he has pretended to be heterosexual or, in his own words, at least "deliberately lying". Achieve your acting ambitions without attracting any negative attention.
Living on both sides made him feel tormented. Fortunately, in the movie, he played the most rebellious roles.
At the age of 16, he moved to Toronto alone and then to Los Angeles to star in "Hard Candy."
It's a shocking film that tells the story of a pedophile who is castrated and killed by a teenage girl.
The film has a good reputation and has won several European film festival awards. Since then, the doors of Hollywood have opened for her little by little.
Qingli's facial features are quite explosive and expressive, making Page especially favored by the small-cost literary film market.
In particular, in 2007, at the age of 20, he shot the small-scale film Juno. In the film, the smart, independent, grinning, foul-mouthed girl Juno was also named a "national idol" and was even nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress.
Later, assuming that "Inception" and "X-Men" did not have Page's appearance, it would always be a little less flavorful.
Page is becoming more and more successful in the entertainment industry and is increasingly confused about identity.
At the age of 19, he confessed his sexuality to his parents, but he was hesitant to come out in public.
Page was on the cover of Time magazine
Finally, in 2014, he officially disclosed his homosexual status in Las Vegas.
"Hiding my identity makes me feel tired and I'm tired of it. In the past, I was afraid of my identity being exposed, and I was under a lot of psychological pressure. I stand here now in the hope that everyone will not suffer the same pain again. ”
At the age of 26, he gave an eight-minute speech, and halfway through, the audience gave him a standing ovation, and he was already in tears.
"Why is this beautiful little girl dressed like a big man?" He also asked himself, "Because I want to dress more comfortably." ”
The speech attracted much attention, and During the period Page's body was almost shaking, but it was not fear, but a relief.
From that day on, he began to take off his skirt and high heels and change into his favorite outfit.
Page took a picture with his ex-wife.
Coming out publicly and being generous to himself, Page completed the first gorgeous turn of his life.
Four years after coming out, in January 2018, he married dancer girlfriend Emma Portner.
But the marriage didn't last long. He separated from his ex-wife last summer and divorced at the beginning of the year.
However, the couple is still good friends, and Emma has accompanied him through the low tide of gender identity. When Page shared the Transgender Manifesto, his ex-wife also became his biggest pillar.
"Gender identity is a complex journey, and we still have to go on." Page said.
In April, oprah Winfrey, a well-known American host, asked Page what was the happiest part of his gender transition.
"Come out of the shower, the towel is wrapped around your waist, you look at yourself in the mirror, you say, 'This is me,' and at that moment, I didn't panic." Elliot replied.
"Being able to touch my chest and my body and mind feel comfortable is probably the first time."
