The “Umbrella Academy” star wrote about the fling with the former “House of Cards” star in his new memoir, which releases on June 6.
On Feb. 14, 2014, Page came out as gay while giving a speech at a Las Vegas benefit for LGBTQ youth. The actor recalls Mara emailing him afterward, joking,"Wait. You're gay?!"Weeks later, Mara invited Page to a barbecue at the Los Angeles home she and Minghella shared. Page recalls Mara again flirting with him as Minghella stood nearby"not giving it a second look."
"When we go back, we immediately went to my bedroom," Page recalls of that night."Kate lay on her back, removing her clothes, while I stood at the base of the bed removing mine. I moved to crawl on top of her. Our mouths fused, our bodies meeting for the first time."The two actors continued exploring their"unabashed attraction." Page felt himself gradually"falling" for Mara."I could not stop thinking about her," he writes.
"Everything with Kate was becoming more complicated, more loaded. I was feeling let down. Perhaps the excitement no longer outweighed the challenges," he writes.When Page spoke of his frustration to Mara, the former"Pose" star reminded Page that she also loved Minghella and they had built a life together."I didn't believe someone could love two people at the same time before. I do now," Page recalls Mara telling him.
