Elliot Page Reveals a Famous Actor Threatened: ‘I’m Going to F— You to Make You Realize You Aren’t Gay’

In his upcoming memoir “Pageboy,” Oscar-nominated actor Elliot Page reveals he was once confronted by a homophobic actor at a birthday party in Los Angeles (via People magazine). The year was 2014, shortly after Page publicly came out as gay during a speech made at a Human Rights Campaign conference (“I’m here today because I am gay,” Page told the crowd). Page later came out as transgender in December 2020.

As Page writes in a chapter aptly titled “Famous A–hole at Party,” an actor that he considered an “acquaintance” approached him at the party and said, “You aren’t gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men.” Page writes the actor also threatened him by saying: “I’m going to fuck you to make you realize you aren’t gay.”

When Page saw him at the gym a few days later, the actor tried to walk back on his comments by saying, “I don’t have a problem with gay people, I swear.”

“I think you might,” Page told him.

“I’ve had some version of that happen many times throughout my life,” Page told People about including the story in his book. “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. I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the shit we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual.”

Page added, “I’m purposely not sharing his name. But he will hear about this and know it’s him.”

Apparently, Elliott is claiming that he slept with Kate Mara when he was still a female!

In an excerpt shared with People, Elliot wrote, "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." Kate Mara poses for a photo at a red carpet event while wearing a knee-length sequined dress that is sleeveless

The relationship happened while Elliot was filming the 2014 movie X-Men: Days of Future Past.

Kate is currently married to her Fantastic Four costar Jamie Bell, with whom she shares two children.

According to the book, Max was supportive of Mara's relationship with Elliot. According to Elliot, Mara told him, "I never thought I could be in love with two people and now I know I can." Max and Kate holding hands as they walk the red carpet of an event

“[The relationship] was right after I’d come out as gay and it was a time of exploration and also heartbreak,” he continued. “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."

Kate and Elliot are still close, as he explained, “I think the love and care that we have for each other is it's very own special thing. Separate from the intimacy that I write about.”

After Elliot came out as trans in 2020, Kate wrote on her Instagram, "Love you @elliotpage ❤️ You continue to inspire and amaze me with your endless strength and honesty. Lucky to have you as a friend."

Kate isn't the only Hollywood relationship mentioned in the book. Elliot writes that he was in a relationship with an unnamed closeted female costar for two years and that they would have to pretend to be friends in public — even going as far as not looking at one another. When asked if such a thing still goes on today, Elliot added, “Hell yeah, it does."

“Some of my closest friends didn't even know I was in a relationship. And I was in a relationship where we were in a relationship for a decent amount of time. I mean, that is next level," he said.

“Ultimately, I do think she loved me. We loved each other and that was very real in our bubble. It was fantastic. You know, it was really beautiful. I admired about her and how she inspired me in many ways. But feeling hidden was far too painful. That was impossible and not a sustainable relationship at all. And it taught me that I was not gonna do that again.”

Pageboy will be released on June 6.

I agree, R56, it’s not unbelievable that someone with an extremely high opinion of himself might make such a remark, thinking that (a) Page was simply a young actress going through a lesbian phase, but DTF a desirable man like himself, and/or (b) the remark would be taken as charming or funny. Page is an extremely tiny person (Jennifer Garner and JT Simmons look like towering giants in the clip upthread), and might have felt easily threatened. It’s still not an appropriate comment to make to a coworker. Plus, Page was extremely childlike for a long time. That probably attracted particularly creepy pedophile types.

I doubt Page is outing Kate Mara, because every piece of information released in or in connection with a memoir like this one is vetted to avoid lawsuits, Mara and Page are friends, and Kate Mara being bisexual surprises absolutely no one. (I thought she was already out.) That said, the book sounds like it’s full of stories involving people who can’t be named, and Page is not long into transition. How much perspective can you have only a year or two in? A memoir seems premature.

Was the 'Famous A-hole at Party' who allegedly made this remark a contemporary of hers or someone much older? I can almost believe that an older guy might say this as it sounds like something some drunk asshole would say 30 or 40 years ago. If he is Page's contemporary than my guess is it didn't happen. Seems suspect, certainly in show bidness circles.

[quote] Elliot Page reveals secret romance with Kate Mara in memoir

Elliot Page is opening up about a secret romance he shared with fellow actor Kate Mara.

The "Umbrella Academy" star, 36, writes about the pair’s fling, which eventually morphed into a lasting friendship, in his new memoir "Pageboy," out June 6.

Page reveals in the book that he met the former "House of Cards" star, 40, at a small dinner party prior to his coming out as trans and shortly after ending another relationship. At the time, Page was filming 2014’s "X-Men: Days of Future Past."

"The first person I fell for after my heart was broken was Kate Mara," Page writes, adding that Mara at the time was dating actor Max Minghella.

The Oscar-nominated "Juno" star describes Mara as "charming and gorgeous" at the dinner. Not long afterward, he writes, the pair met again at a Hollywood party where Mara greeted Page "with a look in her eye I didn't remember from the dinner," he writes.

At the party, Mara began "flirting" with Page, he recalls. "I thought it was a joke," the actor writes. "Regardless of the boyfriend, I could never imagine Kate Mara would want me."

When Page glanced over at Minghella, concerned, Mara told him "Oh, he doesn't care." Page later learned that Minghella had encouraged Mara to explore her “connection” with Page.

On Feb. 14, 2014, Page came out as gay while giving a speech at a Las Vegas benefit for LGBTQ youth. The actor recalls Mara emailing him afterward, joking, "Wait. You're gay?!"

"Yeah, so make your move," Page responded.

Weeks later, Mara invited Page to a barbecue at the Los Angeles home she and Minghella shared. Page recalls Mara again flirting with him as Minghella stood nearby "not giving it a second look."

The attraction between him and Mara, writes Page, was, "Magnetic and immediate, a feeling better left without words."

Days later, Mara suggested the two go out on a dinner date.

On the night of the pair's first date, Mara picked up Page at his home. Inside, the two shared their first kiss. After dinner, they returned to Page's house.

"When we go back, we immediately went to my bedroom," Page recalls of that night. "Kate lay on her back, removing her clothes, while I stood at the base of the bed removing mine. I moved to crawl on top of her. Our mouths fused, our bodies meeting for the first time."

"It was a successful first date," Page coyly writes. "So they continued."

The two actors continued exploring their "unabashed attraction." Page felt himself gradually "falling" for Mara. "I could not stop thinking about her," he writes. Dancing with Mara at another party, the smitten Page knew, "I was a goner."

Though the affair with Mara thrilled him, Page knew while it was happening that he was setting himself up for heartbreak. He recalls feeling hurt when a planned trip to New York City with Mara got derailed after Minghella's schedule freed up and he traveled with Mara instead. Page found himself alone and depressed in the city, staying in the same hotel where he and Mara had once been intimate.

"Everything with Kate was becoming more complicated, more loaded. I was feeling let down. Perhaps the excitement no longer outweighed the challenges," he writes.

Page later adds, "I was chasing something that could not be, letting lust overwhelm me."

When Page spoke of his frustration to Mara, the former "Pose" star reminded Page that she also loved Minghella and they had built a life together. "I didn't believe someone could love two people at the same time before. I do now," Page recalls Mara telling him.

Page decided to end the affair and a short time later, Mara and Minghella also called it quits.

In twists that could only happen in Hollywood, Minghella, who Page describes as "wonderful" in the book, later played Page's love interest in the 2015 movie “Into the Forest." Meanwhile, Page and Mara went on to co-star in the 2017 romantic drama "My Days of Mercy."

Page ends the section by telling readers that after he and Mara, who married husband Jamie Bell in 2017, gave each other "space" and "distance," they eventually became close platonic friends.

"It has been nearly nine years since Kate and I met. Certain chemistry never faded, but room for realizations left us laughing at how little we had in common," writes Page.

"But what has never changed, what will never change, is the love between us," he adds. "Loyal, generous, emotionally present — Kate is not just a wonderful friend, she is an honest friend."

Has "Elliot" ever said if he's interested in females or males, post-transition?

R127 Elliot was a tomboy, not a sporty femme

Ellen Page is a very confused lesbian.

She thinks she's male because that's what the mainstream media is telling her.

But the fact remains that she's a female attracted to females.

Everything about her - especially her words - say that she's a female who wants to be with another female.

Just because you're butch or a tomboy, doesn't make you a man.

Unfortunately, straight people have tried to control the narrative here, and forced "male" or "female" gender roles on gays and lesbians.

The message here is that men cannot be attracted to men, and women cannot be attracted to women.

If you're woman attracted to another woman, then you must assume the male role.

Do you even realize how fucked up that message is?

R56, I believe it, too. Some straight men take the very existence of a lesbian to be threatening, and this is their reaction. You don't have to be a "hottie" to be threatened with rape, though she was actually cute as a woman.

Typical Hollywood experience.

It seems like sexual harassment is the norm there.
