Elliot Page revealed which of his Juno co-stars he got down and dirty with at work, as well the shocking location in which it allegedly happened.
It was just last year that the actor, who came out as transgender in 2020, released his biographical memoir, sharing details of his personal life and opening up about his relationships over the years.
The 38-year-old also opened up about struggling with his sexuality, but noted which of his co-stars helped him to find himself.
It was during the 2007 indie film Juno that Page really began to explore his sexuality, and it was a certain Olivia Thirlby that helped him do so.

Thirlby, who played the character of Leah in Juno, went onto star in some great roles following her early career, including the Oscar-winning 2023 film Oppenheimer.
But it's safe to say that the set of Juno was memorable for more than just their performances on screen.
According to Page, Thirlby was the ‘first woman' he ever had a 'suitably consensual sexual relationship with’.
He noted that the pair were aged around 19 or 20 at the time of filming, and got busy quite often during work.
“We started sucking face,” wrote Page. “It was on….We started having sex all the time: her hotel room, in our trailers at work..."
While the actor noted that the two 'thought they were being subtle', he revealed an even more shocking location that they one decided to get down and dirty at.
Page revealed that he and Thirlby once had sex 'in a tiny, private room in a restaurant'.
"What were we thinking?" he wrote.
It wasn't until some years later that Thirlby came out as bisexual, with Page describing her as 'so much older, capable and centred'.
He also added that she was 'sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time'.
In his memoir, he later wrote: "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."
Thirlby is not the only celebrity that Page got frisky with after meeting them at work.
In his memoir, he talked about a 'secret relationship' with fellow A-lister Kate Mara, who is best known for her role in American Horror Story.
He revealed that the relationship occurred in 2014, when Page was filming the 2014 superhero movie X-Men: Days of Future Past.
He wrote: "I think my relationship, or whatever you want to call it with Kate, very much encapsulates a certain dynamic that I consistently found myself in, which was falling for people that - I think a lot of us do this - who aren't fully available."
