In a surprising revelation reminiscent of a plotline from a Hollywood script, Elliot Page has shared details about his romantic involvement with his Juno co-star, Olivia Thirlby, during the filming of the indie hit movie in 2007.
Page recently disclosed in his memoir, “Pageboy,” that he and Thirlby engaged in a significant romantic relationship that played a pivotal role in his personal growth during that period.
Describing Thirlby as the first woman with whom he had a mutually consensual intimate relationship, Page, an Oscar nominee, highlighted the profound impact of their connection at a time when they were both around 19 or 20 years old.
He emphasized Thirlby’s maturity, confidence, and s**ual openness, qualities that stood out to him as he navigated his own journey of self-discovery.
Despite Thirlby not publicly identifying as bisexual until later, she was transparent about her attraction to Page even before his transition, creating a dynamic that adds a new layer of complexity to their on-screen chemistry in Juno.
According to Page, the romantic spark between him and Thirlby ignited during the filming of Juno, culminating in a passionate relationship that transcended the confines of the movie set.
They shared intimate moments in various locations, including Thirlby’s hotel room, their trailers on set, and even in a discreet corner of a restaurant.
Reflecting on those experiences, Page expressed how being with Thirlby helped alleviate his feelings of shame and insecurity, allowing him to embrace his true self without judgment or self-doubt.
Page’s memoir delves into the highs and lows of his journey through fame, gender identity, and sexuality, offering readers a candid glimpse into his personal struggles and triumphs.
In a recent interview, Page also recounted a distressing encounter with a stranger in Los Angeles who openly threatened him, underscoring the ongoing challenges faced by transgender individuals in a society marked by prejudice and ignorance.
This incident serves as a stark reminder that even individuals with privilege are not immune to acts
