Actress Ellen Page recently said that
coming out gay was the best decision of her life.
The 27-year-old Page announced she's
gay last year on Valentine's Day during a speech delivered at Time to
THRIVE, an LGBT youth conference hosted by the Human Rights Campaign
(HRC) and held at Bally's Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Page (X-Men: Days of Future Past,
Juno), who is in Rio to celebrate Carnaval, was asked about
coming out by a Brazilian reporter.
“[I decided to come out] because I
was sad,” Page said. “I felt uninspired. I was uncomfortable.
It hurt relationships. I felt guilty for not being out. And it was
just time. It's the best decision I ever made. I immediately felt
like a new person.”
“You just feel lighter in your life,”
she added.
When asked if she was dating, Page
answered, “No comment.” (The video is embedded on this page.
