Thirlby’s name became trending after Page, who came out as transgender in 2020, revealed in his 2023 memoir, “Pageboy,” that they had a passionate romance on the set of “Juno” and they had sex “all the time” while filming.

“I was taken aback the moment I saw Olivia Thirlby,” the “Inception” star wrote.

Page added that although they were the same age, Thirlby seemed “so much older, capable, and centered.

“Sexually open, far removed from where I was at the time. But the chemistry was palpable, it pulled me in.”

Page then detailed their alleged sexual encounters, writing that they would get it on in “her hotel room, in our trailers at work, once in a tiny, private room in a restaurant.”

“We thought we were being subtle. 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,” he wrote.
