Allison Janney is looking back on her time working alongside Elliot Page in the 2007 film, . ET's Denny Directo spoke to Janney at the premiere of her new film, , where she spoke about the film, which celebrates its 15th anniversary later this year.«Oh my God, Elliot Page — having the best time with him on that movie,» Janney gushed. «And reading the script, Diablo Cote's script was something that just was so, it was like nothing else I'd ever read before, and I knew it when I read it, I was excited to be a part of that, and Jason Reitman, the director's extraordinary.»It was a wonderful experience I had yeah," she added.

While Page, who has since come out as transgender, earned an Oscar nomination for their work in the film, he told  in June, that it was at the height of the film's success that he was struggling with his identity the most.«During awards-season time, I was closeted, dressed in heels and the whole look — I wasn’t okay, and I didn’t know how to talk about that with anyone,» Page recalled.«I can't pinpoint a 'worst' day,» he continued, «but when was blowing up — this sounds strange to people, and I get that people don’t understand. 'Oh, f**k you, you’re famous, and you have money, and you had to wear a dress, boo-hoo.

I don’t not understand that reaction,' but that’s mixed with: I wish people would understand that that sh*t literally did almost kill me.»Page received an outpouring of support from his co-stars and friends, including fellow  star, Jennifer Garner, Anna Kendrick, Patricia Arquette and of course, from Janney herself.In Janney's latest film, the  actress plays a mysterious loner living a quiet life with her dog.
