Elliot Page has announced the release date and title of his memoir, saying he hopes it will help others “feel less alone” and “seen, no matter who they are or what path they are on”. The actor said the time had “never felt right” for him to write a book, but that sharing experiences was “an important step in standing up to those who wish to silence and harm us”.
Page came out as a transgender man in December 2020 and is best-known for his Oscar-nominated role in 2007 coming-of-age drama Juno, and more recently for starring in Netflix superhero series The Umbrella Academy. His book – titled Pageboy – is due to be released on June 6 2023.
Sharing a picture of the front cover, Page wrote: “Writing a book has come up a few times over the years, but it never felt right and quite frankly, it didn’t feel possible. I could barely sit still, let alone focus long enough to complete such a task.
