Elliot Page

Pageboy: A Memoir

Before the premiere of the Oscar nominated film Juno, its star, Elliot Paige, was on the verge of self-discovery. But with the movie’s success, Elliot was trapped in the spotlight and under pressure to perform. Forced to play the part of a glossy young starlet, both on and off the set, Elliot found the experience suffocating.  The career that had been an escape out of his reality and into a world of imagination had turned into a nightmare. As he navigated criticism and abuse from some of the most powerful people in Hollywood and a society set on forcing him into a binary, Elliot often stayed silent, unsure of what to do. Until the day he decided enough was enough. From chasing secret love affairs, to battling body image, and working through a difficult childhood, Pageboy is a groundbreaking book about love, family, fame and finding strength in our true selves.

“Everybody should read Elliot Page’s celebrity memoir. It’s such an emotional view of popularity crumbling under the pressure and our true selves emerging victorious. The humanizing story of a trans man under the spotlight, trying to be himself. Brilliantly told.”
