Elliot Page has revealed an A-list actor once told him that they were going to ‘f**k’ him to make him ‘realise’ he wasn’t gay, having shared the horrific story in his new memoir.

Page, 36, is opening up about his experience as a trans man in Hollywood in Pageboy, after coming out as trans in December 2020.

Publisher Flatiron Books said the new book will delve into Page’s 'relationship with his body, his experiences as one of the most famous trans people in the world, and will cover mental health, assault, love, relationships, sex and the cesspool that Hollywood can be'.

In one part, Page reveals he was verbally abused at a party by an A-list actor two months after he came out as gay.

According to People, in a chapter titled ‘Famous A--hole at Party’, Page talks about being at a do in Los Angeles back in 2014.

An unnamed actor and ‘acquaintance’ told him: “You aren't gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.”

He then said: “I’m going to f**k you to make you realize you aren’t gay.”

A few days later, they saw each other at the gym, when the actor said: “I don’t have a problem with gay people I swear.”

“I think you might,” Page told him.

Speaking to People about why he chose to include that exchange in the memoir, he explained: “I've had some version of that happen many times throughout my life.

“A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often like don't talk about or we're supposed to just brush off, when actually it's very awful.

The incident happened in 2014.

“I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the s**t we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual.

“How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that. Or you have the more, like, subtle jokes.

“[In Hollywood] these are very powerful people. They're the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world."

Page told the outlet that he now couldn't be happier, having been through times where he didn't find it easy to 'exist'.

“Today I definitely feel a way that I never thought I would get to feel,” he said.

“I think that mostly manifests in how present I feel. The sort of ease and the ability to exist.

"There's been periods in my life where I really felt like I wasn't.

"We talk about trans joy and euphoria and all of those things and so much of it is in the stillness. I just feel so lucky.”
