The Oscar-nominated star who captivated the world with his
performance in Juno finally shares his truth. "Can I kiss you?" It
was two months before the world premiere of Juno, and Elliot Page
was in his first ever queer bar. The hot summer air hung heavy
around him as he looked at her. And then it happened. In front of
everyone. A previously unfathomable experience. Here he was on the
precipice of discovering himself as a queer person, as a trans
person. Getting closer to his desires, his dreams, himself, without
the repression he'd carried for so long. But for Elliot, two steps
forward had always come with one step back. With Juno's massive
success, Elliot became one of the world's most beloved actors. His
dreams were coming true, but the pressure to perform suffocated
him. He was forced to play the part of the glossy young starlet, a
role that made his skin crawl, on and off set. The career that had
been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination
was suddenly a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from
some of the most powerful people in Hollywood, a past that snapped
at his heels, and a society dead set on forcing him into a binary,
Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do, until enough was
enough. Full of behind the scenes details and intimate
interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood, Pageboy is the
story of a life pushed to the brink. But at its core, this
beautifully written, winding journey of what it means to untangle
ourselves from the expectations of others is an ode to stepping
into who we truly are with defiance, strength, and joy.
