Elliot Page Tears Up Discussing the JOY of His Transition With Oprah Winfrey

Elliot Page tears up in the trailer for his interview with Oprah Winfrey in ‘The Oprah Conversation’ that airs April 30 on AppleTV+. The Oscar-nominated actor opens up about the joy he’s experienced during his transition, and what it was like to come out as trans. In an interview with Vanity Fair this month, Page says this interview ‘felt like an opportunity to use a wide-reaching platform to speak from my heart about some of my experience and the resources I’ve been able to access—whether therapy or surgery—that have allowed me to be alive, to live my life.’

You have to love Oprah, never missing a chance to make money from other people's suffering.

[gergelyelod]

The saddest happy person I have ever seen....

[toridanielle]

Body language is powerful. She’s shaking her head ‘no’ while describing the most joyous experience of her life.

[sarpsays]

Wow, we truly do live in the upside down. If that's joy I don't know what sad is.

[vict]

This is the farthest thing from joy I’ve ever seen in my entire life.

[minuit]

My question is out of all the haircuts in the world WHY did he choose a bowl cut that looks like it was laminated and gorilla glued down his head?

[AR-edjp]

This interview is crazy. On the verge of a breakdown. Seems anything but courageous and joyful.

[ryanvacation]

Something is bothering this person deeply. It’s obvious that transitioning did not resolve it.

[lilacblue]

This person looks very depressed. I don't think the transition fixed the demons within the way they hoped

[morevidzz]

The fact that this is real life blows my mind

[midnightsnack]

The fact Elliot had to think long and hard to answer the simple question “what brings you the most joy?” Makes me skeptical that Page is joyful.

[Taaif_Mehadi]

Never doubt oprahs ability to benefit off of someone else’s mental breakdown.

[joypeaceandhappiness]

This person doesn't seem happy at all, why is no one else concerned?

[Bebkins]

I think Elliot needs to heal privately before he grants any further public interviews.

[sourmuffin]

When Elliot touched her chest and realized that she will never be a man, no matter how much the procedures and still pretends to be joyful, its all but in denial.

[teux]

I'm completely happy with my transition!
*breaks down sobbing*

[mannycalavera]

This just makes me feel sad. I see a person who just needs time and space to focus on their life. Not talk to Oprah.

[Whitebeardtheking]

Goddamn, this is tragic. I can't get over it, I honestly can't. This poor woman was hurting for a long time inside and out but intead of being built up and encouraged to live peacefully with herself, she was torn apart piece by piece by those who should've tried to help her. The people who did this should be in jail, this is a mockery and a crime against humanity. They are not healthcare professionals, they are rabid animals.

[chelseapoet]

We don't encourage anorexics to lose weight because they think their body is wrong. Self harm is not self acceptance.

[Eris]

If this is JOY what the misery looks like?
