Elliot Page to unload about ‘sex, love, trauma’ on ‘Pageboy’ memoir tour

Elliot Page is ready for his next career chapter — the book tour for his new memoir.

The “Juno” star, 36, is dropping his memoir “Pageboy” on June 6 and already has his book tour dates on deck.

Page will be heading to New York for his release day and will end his tour on June 14th in Washington D.C., People reported on Thursday.

The actor told to the outlet how his multi-city journey for the project will help him connect with other members of the LGBTQ community.

“June 6 feels like it is quickly approaching,” he noted.

“I’m thrilled for people to finally read ‘Pageboy.’ I am grateful for the opportunity to engage with readers and listeners across the country about it, and to celebrate other queer and trans stories along the way as well,” the “Umbrella Academy” icon continued.

Page — who came out as trans in 2020 — announced the book on Instagram last December.

He unveiled the cover, which featured a photo of himself sitting on a stool wearing a white tank and jeans.

Page captioned the post at the time: “Writing a book has come up a few times over the years, but it never felt right and quite frankly, it didn’t feel possible.”

“I could barely sit still, let alone focus long enough to complete such a task. At last, I can be with myself, in this body,” he scribed. “So, I’ve written a book about my story.”

“At many points in my life, it felt unbearable to be in front of a camera, but making this cover with acclaimed photographer Catherine Opie was a joyful experience that I will never forget,” he reflected.

According to his publisher, Flatiron Books, “Pageboy” is full of “behind the scenes details and intimate interrogations on sex, love, trauma, and Hollywood.”

The novel’s central story is about a “life pushed to the brink” and is a written journey of “what it means to untangle ourselves from the expectations of others is an ode to stepping into who we truly are with defiance, strength, and joy.”

Page also has another project under his belt with the forthcoming movie, “Backspot.”

He is executive producing the feature via his Page Boy Productions banner. The film follows two queer cheerleaders who get the opportunity to join an elite squad.

Evan Rachel Wood is starring in the flick alongside Devery Jacobs and Kudakwashe Rutendo.

Filming wrapped last month in Toronto and is directed by D.W. Waterson.

“The importance of excellence in queer storytelling has never been more necessary and attracting a dream cast which includes the transcendent genius that is Evan Rachel Wood is a testament to the quality of the ‘Backspot’ production,” Page Boy’s head of development and production Jordan Smith said in a statement in March.

The full list of Page’s book tour dates includes:

  • Tuesday, June 6 – Town Hall, New York City
  • Thursday, June 8 – Los Angeles Times Book Club at Montalbán Theatre, Los Angeles
  • Saturday, June 10 – City Arts & Lectures at the Sydney Goldstein Theater, San Francisco
