Elliot Page says he had a life-changing kiss with a girl at a gay bar three months before the film Juno shot him to fame.

Elliot said in an extract from his new memoir Page Boy, obtained by People about his visit to the gay bar aged 20 with a woman named Paula: "The sound of her voice radiated warmth, a kindness. It wasn't so much that her eyes lit up but that they found you. I could feel her looking. Elliot added the experience was "new" for him as it was "being in a queer space and being present, enjoying it".

"But there was a joy in the room, it lifted me, forced a reaction in the jaw, an uncontrolled, steady smile."Elliot said when he asked Paula for a kiss he was "jolted by my boldness", adding: "And then I did. In a queer bar. In front of everyone around us… everything was cold before, motionless, emotionless."But here I was, on a dance floor with a woman who wanted to kiss me and the antagonising, cruel voice that flooded my head whenever I felt desire was silent.
