Description

This is one of those encounters that felt profoundly special because, no matter how much preparation I might have done, I truly don't think anything could have fully prepared me for the powerful honesty of Elliot Page.In his only UK podcast interview to mark the publication of his bestselling memoir, Pageboy, Elliot joins me to talk about his self-perceived failure at living a 'closeted' life, his failures in friendship and his inabilty to reach out for help when he needed it. He talks about the abusive homophobia in Hollywood, his battles to connect with the truth of his truest self and the euphoria he now feels when he is able to present physically as he really is.Elliot moved me so deeply and I know anyone who listens to this will be meaningfully changed by it.--You can order Elliot's memoir, Pageboy, here.--How To Fail With Elizabeth Day is hosted and produced by Elizabeth Day.
