The 36-year-old actor, who publicly came out as gay in 2014 as Ellen Page, and then came out as trans in December 2020 as Elliot, said that 36-year-old Thirlby was the “first woman I had a suitably consensual sexual relationship with.” Page continued, “We were the same age, but she seemed so much older, capable and centered. Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time.”
In the 2007 Oscar-winning comedic film, Page played pregnant teen “Juno MacGuff,” and Thirlby played Juno’s best friend “Leah.” Opening up further in his memoir, Page said that he and Thirlby had “palpable chemistry” and he would even get “embarrassingly shy” around her.

Once the two become super close friends, Page recalled how Thirlby admitted, “I’m really attracted to you,” to which Page responded by saying the same back. Page said after they confessed their feelings to one another, they “started sucking face. It was on.”
Page admitted, “We started having sex all the time: her hotel room, in our trailers at work, once in a tiny, private room in a restaurant. What were we thinking? We thought we were 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.”

While things were hot and steamy behind closed doors, Page said that whenever they were around others, they had to keep their relationship “hidden.” Page also noted that he wasn’t even sure whether or not his mother, who was living with him in a hotel while filming in Vancouver, “suspected anything” between the two co-stars at the time.
As mentioned, Page came out as gay in 2014, but beforehand, Thirlby came out as bisexual in 2011. At the time, she told Brooklyn Magazine, “No one should have to hide their sexual orientation. Loving people is a necessary part of being human, and it is very difficult to love people in secret. It’s a horrible thing to force people to do. And I am not 100% straight. … I’m so lucky to have a job where it’s okay for me not to be in the closet.“ Thirlby went on to marry Jacques Pienaar in 2014 after meeting in 2012 while filming the action movie ‘Dredd.’
