Elliot Page has recently revealed that his life has “improved drastically” after coming out as a transgender.

According to Daily Mail, Page opened up about his transition on Tuesday’s episode of Late Night With Seth Meyers.

“What I want to focus on right now, and has been so extraordinary is the degree of joy that I feel, the degree of presence that I feel, I feel a way that I really never thought possible for a long, long time,” said the actor.

Page urged people to think at the positive impact it had on him after his transition.

“It’s a beautiful thing to experience now because a lot of the time my life was just trying to move forward. Getting to embrace the experience as much as I get to now, I think it’s made me better in so many facets - as a person, as a friend, relationships,” he added.

The host inquired Page about the upcoming season of The Umbrella Academy where his transition became a part of the story line.
