Details Elliot Page Has Shared About His Fling With Olivia Thirlby

As the actor shared in "Pageboy," "Being intimate with Olivia helped my shame dissipate. I didn't see a glint of it in her eyes and I wanted that — done feeling wretched about who I am." Elliot Page continued by noting that, while their relationship was intended to be a secret, he's unsure if anyone suspected anything, including Page's mom with whom he was sharing a hotel room during filming. As well as Thirlby, Page also opened up about his secret relationship with Kate Mara. 

In an excerpt published by People, Page revealed that he fell in love with Mara soon after coming out as gay. However, the actor did not class his relationship with her as a typical one, writing, "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." He added that, while he felt a certain level of security in their dynamic, it ultimately faded away over time along with the serotonin rush.
