On June 6, 2023, Elliot Page (35) will release his eagerly awaited autobiography "Pageboy". "In his first book, Elliot Page tells the story of his unique life, which his transition saved him," announces the publisher S. Fischer about the actor's memoirs. "Growing up in the Canadian port city of Halifax, growing up in Hollywood obsessed with traditional gender roles. Discovering your own taboo sexuality and the profound shame of your own body," it says, among other things.

In addition to the release date, the actor also shared the cover of the book for the first time on Instagram. He poses in a white fine rib undershirt, jeans and a gold chain.

"I've thought about writing a book a few times over the years, but it never felt right, and honestly, it never did," writes Elliot Page. "I could hardly sit still, let alone concentrate long enough to complete a task like this." Now he feels comfortable in his body. "So I wrote a book about my story."

Elliot Page wants to encourage other people with his book. "The act of writing, reading and sharing our diverse experiences is an important step in standing up to those who seek to silence and harm us," he wrote on Instagram. "Books have helped me, even saved me, so I hope this can help someone to feel less alone, to feel seen, no matter who he or she is or what path he or she is on. "

Elliot Page announced his coming out as a trans person in a post on Twitter in December 2020. The Canadian became known in Hollywood under his birth name Ellen Page. In 2008 he received an Oscar nomination for the leading role in "Juno". In April 2021, he spoke to Oprah Winfrey (68) in his first interview since coming out, among other things, about his breast surgery. In the summer of 2022, he proudly showed his followers his new passport photo as a man.
