Elliot Page says a famous actor threatened to rape him to convince him he wasnt gay.

The Inception star, who is one of the most famous transgender talents in Hollywood, details the encounter in his upcoming memoir, Pageboy. He said it occurred at a Los Angeles birthday party in 2014 after Page came out as gay before transitioning in 2020 .

You arent gay. That doesnt exist. You are just afraid of men, he says of the remarks in the Famous Asshole at Party chapter, excerpts of which were published Friday by People magazine , then writes that the threat became more direct: Im going to fuck you to make you realize you arent gay.

When they ran into each other at the gym a few days later, the unidentified A-lister claimed he didnt have a problem with gay people . Page who told him, I think you might told People that hes endured other remarks like this many times before.

Ive had some version of that happen many times throughout my life, he told the magazine. A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often, like, dont talk about or were supposed to just brush off, when actually its very awful.

Page added that he purposefully decided not to name the celebrity in question but that numerous people at the party bore witness to his remarks. The Juno star pointedly noted that the man will hear of his inclusion in the book, however, and know its him.
