Juno Star Skates Back Into the Spotlight.
Remember Ellen Page, the cute and subdued actress from Juno? Now she's 22 and in a new movie called "Whip It'. The new movie portrays a roller derby champion and is directed by first timer Drew Barrymore.
It's been a couple of years since the Oscar-nominated Juno and Page says she had to get away from the glamour to gain some outlook." I went to Oregon to study perma-culture and lived in an eco-village for a month outside Eugene. It was amazing and what I needed, because there had been the Juno thing, where you're getting a lot of attention".
The young actress was nominated in 2008 for her role as a pregnant teen in Juno. In her new role Page said she had to embrace her sexiness and get into shape. First time director Barrymore said she noticed a difference." She's really sexy. We pushed each other. We challenged each other."
The roller derby action packed film hits theatres Friday.
