And more revelations from Pageboy.
has had a front-row seat to Hollywood hypocrisy. “It puzzled me to watch cis straight actors play queer and trans characters and be revered,” he writes in his new memoir,. “Hollywood is built on leveraging queerness. Tucking it away when needed, pulling it out when beneficial, while patting themselves on the back … I was punished for being queer while I watched others be protected and celebrated, who gleefully abused people in the wide open.
Page reveals that his romantic relationship with Olivia Thirlby helped him begin a journey toward self-acceptance. “I had an all-encompassing desire for her, she made me want in a way that was new, hopeful,” Page writes. “Being intimate with Olivia helped my shame dissipate. I didn’t see a glint of it in her eyes and I wanted that — done feeling wretched about who I am.
Page also dated other, unnamed, Hollywood figures. One girlfriend, “queer and confident, an actor whose movies I loved,” introduced him to her queer community, while another, nicknamed “Ryan,” was more closeted than Page and could barely interact with him in public. They met while making a film together. “It was not a sustainable relationship, just like when I had kept people hidden.” Page writes. “The lying, the anxiety, the disgust.
“One of the most famous actors in the world” made homophobic comments and sexually harassed Page shortly after he came out as a lesbian in 2014. At a birthday party, a famous and powerful actor told Page that being gay “doesn’t exist” and that Page is “just afraid of men.” When Page pushed back against his comments, the actor began to sexually harass him. “‘I’m going to fuck you to make you realize you aren’t gay. I’m going to lick your asshole. It is going to taste like lime. You’re not gay,’” recounts Page. “He kept describing how he was going to fuck me, touch me, lick me.
