Ellen Page: I d Be Thrilled to Only Play Queer Roles

Ellen Page, who just premiered her feature film directorial debut Theres Something in the Water at the 2019 Toronto International Film Festival, said she would be thrilled to only play queer roles from now on, explaining that shes been asked several times whether she might be typecast since coming out as gay five years ago. The (one) thing I get a lot is, Are you worried about being typecast about playing queer Because thats what I play mostly, she said at TheWraps Power Women Toronto panel Monday night at the Thompson Hotel with fellow directors Kasi Lemmons (Harriet) and Halina Reijn (Instinct). You would never ask a heterosexual actress that, as being typecast as straight. Why would I not want to play those roles Quite frankly, I would be thrilled if its every role I ever played again
