Elliot Page‘s memoir reminds us how Hollywood continues stifling the LGBTQIA+ identities of the actors. Despite the push for inclusion, most of the decision-makers in Hollywood have internalized fear and prejudice. Page, who came out as gay in 2014 and transitioned in 2020, bares it all in his memoir, ‘Pageboy.’
A chapter in Elliot Page’s memoir, “Famous A*****e At Party,” describes his encounter with an arrogant movie star. This Hollywood A-lister was rough on Page, disregarding the concept of sexuality. The ‘Juno’ actor also wrote about her secret affair with ‘House Of Cards’ actress Kate Mara.

He added, “I’m going to f*** you to make you realize you aren’t gay.” This mysterious male star ran into Page at a gym, backtracking on his abuse by saying he has nothing against gay people.
Elliott Page expressed rage and frustration about how often trans and queer people have to deal with these situations of verbal abuse. Rather than brushing it off, ‘The Umbrella Academy’ actor chose to include this incident in the book as a part of “highlighting the reality, the s**t we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual.”
