Transitioning and being able to live authentically as Elliot has brought a newfound sense of inspiration to the actor, who also shared details about their journey in the memoir ‘Pageboy’ released last year.
In the memoir, Page opened up about feeling more connected to their acting and finding a renewed passion for their craft post-transition.
The actor also shared intimate details about their experience filming ‘Juno’, including a relationship with co-star Olivia Thirby, with whom Page found solace and comfort during a challenging time.
