Elliot Page says he's getting more job offers after coming out as transgender

Elliot Page has revealed that he is getting more job offers after coming out as a transgender man.

The Juno actor's team told Time that they were "seeing more activity than they have in years" in terms of job offers.

These include acting, directing and producing movies related to the transgender community, as well as what they described as "dude roles".

"I'm really excited to act, now that I'm fully who I am, in this body," Elliot, 34, told the publication.

"No matter the challenges and difficult moments of this, nothing amounts to getting to feel how I feel now."

In the same interview, Elliot said he knew he was a boy from the age of four, but had to hide it because of his career.

"Of course I had to look a certain way," he said.

When he was nine-years-old he got his hair cut short for the first time, and it was an important moment for him.

He explained: "I felt like a boy.

"I wanted to be a boy. I would ask my mom if I could be someday."

Back in December, Elliot came out as transgender on Instagram and said he wanted to use the pronouns he/him and they.

He said: "Hi friends, I want to share with you that I am trans, my pronouns are he/they and my name is Elliot.

"I feel lucky to be writing this. To be here. To have arrived at this place in my life. I feel overwhelming gratitude for the incredible people who have supported me along this journey.

"I can't begin to express how remarkable it feels to finally love who I am enough to pursue my authentic self."

Elliot added: "I've been endlessly inspired by so many in the trans community. Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place.

"I will offer whatever support I can and continue to strive for a more loving and equal society."
