Pageboy: A Memoir is a candid and transformative journey of Academy Award-nominated actor Elliot Page. From the brink of self-discovery in a queer bar before the world premiere of Juno, through the whirlwind of Hollywood's expectations, to the pressures of performing that nearly suffocated him, Elliot Page's memoir is a tale of defiance, strength, and joy.
Elliot's story delves into the intimate aspects of sex, love, trauma, and the challenges of navigating a life in the spotlight. As he grapples with his identity and the societal pressures to conform to a binary, Elliot's narrative is both an ode to self-realization and a powerful exploration of what it means to break free from the expectations of others. Pageboy reveals the behind-the-scenes details of a life lived in the public eye and the personal interrogations that lead to a celebration of true self.
