A famous A-hole at Party -

In the chaptertitled "Famous A–hole at Party'', the actor wrote that one actor, whom he described as an "acquaintance," told Page, "you aren't gay. That doesn’t exist. You are just afraid of men."

After the party, Page and the actor saw each other at the gym, where the actor said, "I don’t have a problem with gay people I swear."

"I think you might," Page told him.

Further in the book, the actor writes, "I've had some version of that happen many times throughout my life. A lot of queer and trans people deal with it incessantly. These moments that we often like don't talk about or we're supposed to just brush off, when actually it's very awful. I put that story in the book because it’s about highlighting the reality, the s--t we deal with and what gets sent to us constantly, particularly in environments that are predominantly cis and heterosexual. How we navigate that world where you either have more extreme, overt moments like that. Or you have the more, like, subtle jokes. [In Hollywood] these are very powerful people. They're the ones choosing what stories are being told and creating content for people to see all around the world."

Page added, "I’m purposely not sharing his name. But he will hear about this and know it’s him."

The book will hit the stands on June 6.
