The “Juno” actor’s new memoir, “Pageboy,” will cover everything from his mental health journey to his sex life. The tell-all book will be out June 6.
“There’s obviously been very difficult moments,” the “Juno” star told the outlet. “I do feel like I kind of barely made it in many ways. But today, I’m just me and grateful to be here and alive and taking one step at a time.”Page acknowledged that most of the trans community faces even more hardships.Instagram/@elliotpage
“My experience as a trans person and this life I have, and the privilege I have does not represent the reality of most trans lives,” the 36-year-old said.“I think it’s crucial, I think we need to feel represented and see ourselves, you know, that’s not something I had like as a kid,” he said about the importance of LGBTQ+ visibility.“The reality is, trans people disproportionately are unemployed, disproportionately experience homelessness,” he explained.
“I think this period of not just hate, of course, but misinformation or just blatant lies about LGTBQ+ lives, about our healthcare, it felt like the right time,” the Oscar-nominated actor continued. “Trans and queer stories are so often picked apart, or worse, universalized.” Earlier this month, the actor revealed he is feeling better than ever in his body after getting top surgery.
