“It literally almost killed him,” according to Elliot Page, speaking about making the film Juno. The film followed the life of Juno, a pregnant adolescent, and was released in 2007.
Page played the role of the pregnant girl who chooses to stay in school while carrying the baby for an adoptive couple.
Following a 13-year silence, the actor came out as a transgender guy in 2020, and last year, their book Pageboy became an immediate Sunday Times bestseller.
With four Oscar nominations, including Best Actress for Page, the picture was a smashing hit upon its debut.
Page “didn’t know how to talk about [it]” when the film was performing poorly, even if it was a commercial success.
