Elliot Page claims he had a passionate romance with co-star Olivia Thirlby on the set of “Juno” and they had sex “all the time” while filming.
“I was taken aback the moment I saw Olivia Thirlby,” the actor, 36, writes in his bombshell new memoir, “Pageboy.”
“The Umbrella Academy” star wrote that although they were the same age, Thirlby seemed “so much older, capable, and centered.
“Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time. But the chemistry was palpable, it pulled me in.”
Page said they began spending a lot of time together and then one day as they stood in Thirlby’s hotel room, the actress “looked directly at me and said point-blank, ‘I’m really attracted to you.’”
The Canadian-born actor confessed similar feelings for Thirlby — who played Page’s quirky best friend in the 2007 teen pregnancy film.
“At that we started sucking face,” he claimed. “It was on.
“I had an all-encompassing desire for her, she made me want in a way that was new, hopeful. It was one of the first times someone would make me c-m, the first time I would open up,” Page wrote.

The couple, according to Page, began having sex “all the time” and everywhere.
“Her hotel room, in our trailers at work, once in a tiny, private room in a restaurant … We thought we were being subtle. 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,” he wrote.
Thirlby’s publicist did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.
Thirlby, also 36, came out as bisexual in a 2011 interview and has been married to Jacques Pienaar since 2014.
Page came out as gay in 2014 and as transgender in December 2020.
Elsewhere in the memoir, the Oscar nominee wrote of falling in love with actress Kate Mara while co-starring in the 2014 film “X-Men: Days of Future Past.”
Mara, 40, was dating “The Handmaid’s Tale” star Max Minghella, 37, at the same time, prompting the “House of Cards” alum to share, “I never thought I could be in love with two people, and now I know I can.”
Page also revealed a shocking incident that happened after he came out as gay but prior to his transition.
He claimed that an unnamed A-list actor boasted at a 2014 birthday party in Los Angeles, “I’m going to f—k you to make you realize you aren’t gay,” in a chapter appropriately titled “Famous A–hole at Party.”
He added that the fellow celebrity, whom he describes only as an “acquaintance,” insisted, “You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.”
Disturbingly, Page also recounted a scary incident in Los Angeles last year when a crazed man began spewing obscenities.
“I’m going to f–king gay bash you, f—t,” the man yelled, forcing the actor to bolt toward a convenience store for help.
Page, who recently shared on Instagram that he never believed he could experience “the joy I feel in my body,” is currently on a brief North American tour in support of the memoir.
