Ellen Page Human Rights Campaign

Ellen Page Human Rights Campaign, Ellen Page says she’s much more comfortable and happier now that she’s come out as a lesbian.

The “X-Men: Days of Future Past” star sat down for an interview on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” that was posted on the talker’s YouTube channel Wednesday, and the host expressed how proud and happy she was for the actress.

The “Juno” and “Inception” star came out in February during an emotional speech at the LGBT youth conference Time to Thrive.

DeGeneres, who is openly gay, asked the 27-year-old how nervous she was during the “incredible” speech.

“The most nervous I’ve ever been in my life,” Page replied. “I think my biggest fear of doing it was even just having a panic attack, quite frankly.

“But I was just so ready to do it and quite frankly so excited to do it. So it was a combination of such thrill to finally be at that place in my life where I was able to do that and grateful to have that moment. And grateful to you because you did it in a time when it was much harder and much scarier.”

Indeed, DeGeneres came out in 1997 with a Time magazine cover that read, “Yep, I’m Gay.” But the host focused on her guest’s journey rather than her own.

“I knew I would be a happier person,” Page said. “I knew that I was going to feel better and I did not anticipate just how happy I would feel in every aspect of my life — just an ease and a comfort. It’s really been quite extraordinary to feel the shift that was pretty much overnight.”
