Elliot Page has recently expressed that their emotions towards their hit movie Juno are quite complex.

Before achieving recognition for his role as the protagonist in the film released in 2007, the performer made appearances in various shows and films.

Page portrayed a 16-year-old who is carrying a child and decides to continue her studies while giving the baby up for adoption to a suitable couple.

Back then, the individual who is currently 37 years old used to go by the name Ellen. However, in 2020, they started openly identifying as a transgender man.

Before, the celebrity asserted that he regularly had intercourse with one of his fellow actors while working on the popular film. He also acknowledged in a SiriusXM interview that their fame as a female character had them feeling trapped.

Page expressed that although he could have been living out his dream, he instead felt guilty for the negativity he was experiencing.

During that period, I experienced severe sickness due to an intense dislike of myself.

I was unable to convey my thoughts and feelings to others because I simply perceived it as a lack of appreciation.

The actor who stars in The Umbrella Academy expressed his affection for the movie, the performances, and the memorable experiences he had with the individuals who contributed to the production of Juno.

However, the "challenging phase" had a significant impact on Page's life and it took him a considerable amount of time to recover from it. The drastic alteration in his life made the process even more difficult.

After undergoing a transition and being able to live openly as his authentic self, the celebrity shared personal experiences from his life in the form of a memoir called Pageboy. After its publication, Page expressed a renewed love for acting.

"Thank heavens," expressed the actor. Currently, he feels motivated in a manner he never imagined could have occurred.

The celebrity expressed difficulty in envisioning what their future would be like.

When I am comfortable and my body feels familiar, it boosts my artistic and creative levels.

According to Page, publishing their autobiography would have been impossible prior to this moment.

After their change, he realized that he could connect better with characters while going through scripts.

During the filming of Juno, the performer in Pageboy declared that they engaged in sexual activity frequently with Olivia Thirby, who portrayed the character Leah.

He wrote about how he had been in different places with Olivia, such as a hotel room, a trailer at work, and even a small room in a restaurant. They tried to keep it secret, but it wasn't really working. Being with Olivia made him feel better about himself. He didn't see any judgment in her eyes, and he was tired of feeling bad about who he was.

LADbible has reached out to the representatives of Thirby to obtain their comments.
