Elliot Page opens up to Oprah Winfrey in first TV interview since coming out as transgender

Oprah Winfrey spoke to the Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page in his first tv interview since coming out as transgender. The actor is known for his role in "Juno" and "Inception." They tackled a range of topics, including the challenges Page faced, exploring his identity in the public eye. "CBS This Morning" got an exclusive clip from the interview which airs Thursday on Apple TV +.

Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.

I’ve never seen someone who looks like a 30 year old woman and a 10 year old boy at the same time

[athena]

Isn't weird how old and unbookable Ellie already looked as woman, but now as Elliot he actually looks young and cast-ready for teenager roles?

[quinftbl]

Opra is nothing more than a goofy troublemaker for her own financial benefit.

[torachan]

Now that Ellen is “Elliot”, does he now have to check his male privilege?

[variantfaze]

Well, I see adults still play "make believe" and other adults play right along with them

[Ang.]

Who wants to bet that E will complain about the lack of work offered to her now that she’s a him?? when she hasn’t been in much recently anyway as herself. A girl but I can hear the victim card getting ready to be played already

[zeeenno]

I'm glad Elliot is living his best life now. All these confused commenters could learn something by actually listening to transgender people.

[kristinn]

Did you catch Gail’s “Ellen” slip at the end?

[jana]

She tries to convince herself that she feels comfortable in her body. Unfortunately, this does not seem to be the case, body language does not lie. I feel so sorry for her 😢

[UKchronics]

it's just ellen page with short hair

[misslady]

Has cut her hair short and changed her name but is still a woman and always will be!!

[moonwalkereva]

An irrelevant actress that’s making news with her sexual orientation. What you do behind closed doors is your business.

[claudiastokes]

I can't imagine feeling like I'm in the wrong body. Sounds like pure torture. Life shouldn't be so hard. Whatever it takes for a person to truly enjoy this precious life we've been given. Best wishes, Elliot.

[frankfritz]

If you wanna come out, that's wonderful..but don't get butthurt when you get treated like a man..

[_AA]

Same person, just with shorter hair!... I honestly can't tell a difference!...

[maticbukovac]

We have been given this beautiful and for the most part fully functional body. Coming from a person, who had actual serious health problems and tried to avoid the three operations at all cost. This wide-spread pandering to some kind of body dysmorphia is really becoming ludicrous. If you feel like a woman, then work on all the great&beautiful personal characteristics and skills that you feel constitute a great woman and vice versa for a man. No need for skalpels or pills, just leave your perfect little body alone, it knows exactly what to do. It is like men to female almost immediately go for nail polish and make up, while women to male go for beards and... I don't even know... It all seems so shallow, yet they try to present it as smth deep and profound. I mean where is all this gender-choosing going to get us in a generation or two's time? And btw... Elliot does not look healthy and well at all. Those numerous pills that he must now take all his life are clearly not doing him any good.

[bruceashby]

Dammit I was expecting a deeper voice or something

[Geissele_match]

She's playing the role of a lifetime. A goofy haired teenage boy!

[armandoucles]

He still looks like a teenager for someone in his 30's.

[Brenchel]

Anyone else catch Gayle slip up at the end (1:59) and call him Ellen. 😳
