Elliot Page has become the face of New York Magazine's inaugural Men's Style issue, but the unusual cover has already become a major talking point online. Rather than receiving universal praise for the actor's appearance, social media users have questioned the magazine's decision to use a shirtless image in which Page appears serious and somewhat uncomfortable.
The cover shows Page shirtless in blue striped shorts, leaning against a wooden door with his tattooed arms crossed. It forms part of an 89-page special issue built around men's fashion, health and culture, although the magazine has deliberately moved away from the conventional polished style associated with traditional men's fashion publications.
