“Juno” star Elliot Page has expressed gratitude toward his fans for all the support they have extended to him after he came out as a non-binary, transgender person.

The 33-year-old Hollywood star shared a personal update on his official Instagram account thanking all the fans for all the “love and support” they have continued to show after the announcement. The actor also noted that their emotional assistance is the “greatest gift” for him.

The “Inception” actor also advised his fans to stay safe amid the pandemic.

“From the bottom of my heart, thank you. Your love and support have been the greatest gift. Stay safe. Be there for each other,” Page wrote alongside a snap of him wearing a black hoodie.

The actor also gave a shout out to two organizations – TranSanta and Trans Lifeline - that advocate for transgender rights and provide resources to the trans community.

“If you are able, support @transanta and @translifeline See you in 2021 Xoxo Elliot," the actor added.

Page’s update comes almost three weeks after the Oscar-nominated star wrote a lengthy, heartwarming post on the image-sharing platform, revealing that he is transgender and non-binary.

“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,” Page wrote.

Born in 1987, Page started his professional acting career in 1999 with a TV series called “Pit Pony.” The actor went on to star in many projects and also played the role of Shadowcat in the superhero flick “X-Men: The Last Stand.” However, his moment of glory came in 2007 when he starred in the blockbuster movie “Juno.” The film received universal acclaim and earned him maiden Oscar nominations.

Apart from that, the actor has also been nominated for Golden Globes, BAFTAs, and Primetime Emmys in his career.

“Inception,” “The Simpsons,” “Family Guy,” “X-Men: Days of Future Past,” “Flatliners,” and “The Umbrella Academy” are some of the other big projects that Page has been a part of in the past.
