s around your waist and you're looking at yourself in the mirror and you're just like, 'There I am'. And I'm not having the moment where I'm panicked," he said during the Apple TV interview.
Page's Instagram post has already received over two million likes and a wave of supportive celebrity comments praising his new appearance.
"Dude I see why you crushed me on that workout!" actor Justin Cornwell commented. "Hot" added singer Miley Cyrus, alongside a heart emoji.
The Vampire Diaries' Nina Dobrev said: "You look amazing… and most of all happy." Julianne Moore, who starred with Page in the film Freeheld, wrote: "Happy summer" accompanied by a flame emoji.
Winfrey, meanwhile, shared her support by reposting the image on the Oprah Daily Instagram account.
"This is what happiness looks like!" she wrote. "Looks like Elliot will be shining brighter than the sun this summer."
Yep, this is what happiness looks like: a woman posing with her scar tissue where her breasts used to be. Fabulous! An inspiration for young girls everywhere to make their dreams come true under the surgeon's knife with a double mastectomy.
A heroine for our times, is Elliot: as well as that saccharine Oprah interview, she featured on the cover of Time back in March – "Actor Elliot Page and the fight for trans equality".
As a Stonewall Diversity Champion, does the Beeb feel pressured to make a big deal of celebrating this kind of body mutilation – or would they do it anyway?
