Unlike Elliot Page’s character, the actor wasn’t eyeing Michael Cera while filming “Juno.”
Page, who has become the most prominent transgender star in Hollywood, revealed in his new memoir “Pageboy” that he had a steamy relationship with “Juno” co-star Olivia Thirlby years before Page came out as gay in 2014 and eventually transitioned in 2020.
“I was taken aback the moment I saw Olivia Thirlby,” wrote Page. “Embodied and bold, her long brown hair moved in slow motion. We were the same age, but she seemed so much older, capable, and centered. Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time.”
He continued, “But the chemistry was palpable, it pulled me in.”
The actor, whose work in the 2007 film was nominated for an Oscar, had yet to come out as gay. Page admitted it was “rare” for him to “let anything in” when he met Thirlby but wrote they had already become fast friends when things suddenly shifted.
“We stood in her hotel room,” wrote Page in his tell-all memoir. “Billie Holiday played. She was about to start making lunch, when she looked directly at me and said point-blank, ‘I’m really attracted to you.’ ‘Uh, I’m really attracted to you, too.’ At that, we started sucking face.”
Thirlby reportedly came out as bisexual in 2011.
