Olivia Thirlby (2007)

Page candidly revealed in his memoir he had sex ‘all the time’ with his Juno co-star Olivia Thirlby, before the star came out as gay. 

Thirlby appeared in the film as the title character’s best friend Leah; she came out as bisexual a couple of years later in an interview with Brooklyn Magazine.

Page wrote: ‘I was taken aback the moment I saw Olivia Thirlby. She seemed so much older, capable, and centered,’ he recalled. ‘Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time. But the chemistry was palpable, it pulled me in.’

The actor claimed that it was Thirlby who made the first move by confessing that she was ‘really attracted’ to him, which led to the two ‘sucking face.’

The relationship was kept secret with Page adding that they were ‘subtle’ on set. 

Though the film shot Page to stardom, Thirlby’s film appearances remained quiet and she mostly appeared in small, independent movies. 

She went on to appear alongside Jason Schwartzman and Ted Danson in HBO’s Bored and had a supporting role in the critically acclaimed Margaret starring Anna Paquin, Mark Ruffalo and Matt Damon.

Her last film feature was in the fantasy romance film Above the Shadows in 2019.

The 36-year-old actor revealed in his memoir how he and Kate Mara, 40, struck up a romance as he filmed X-Men: Days of Future Past and said that Kate was ‘in love with two people.’ 

In an excerpt from Pageboy obtained by People, Page writes: ‘The first person I fell for after my heart was broken was Kate Mara. She had a boyfriend at the time, the lovely and talented Max Minghella.’

‘This was right after I’d come out as gay and it was a time of exploration and also heartbreak. 

‘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.’

Elliot said Max was supportive of Kate exploring their relationship -which was kept a secret from the world and says Kate told him: ‘I never thought I could be in love with two people and now I know I can.’ 

Following their brief relationship, the pair went on to play a couple in My Days of Mercy, released in 2019.

While their romance was unsuccessful the two remain good friends, Page shared that Kate has read the book and will appear at an LA book event in June to promote it.
