Sleeping With Ellen Page Hazardous To Your Health
by Ryan Porter
The "Inception" star is a Hollywood "it" girl by day; a naked, bug-terrorized heartbreaker by night.
If you happen to be travelling with the cast of
Inception, may I suggest you bunk with
Leonardo DiCaprio?
Ellen Page, 23, sounds like a lot of drama when she's snoozing.
She told Jay Leno (Not Letterman? Et tu, hipsters?) that her restless sleep patterns include sleepwalking, sleeptalking, even sleepdressing. She woke up once in a hotel hallway in her underwear, she said. "Is there video footage?" Jay joked. "I think I was about 11 there, Jay," Ellen snapped back. High fives from Conan!
Giving those who think Ellen is a lesbian something to squeal about, the Halifax actress says she also upset her ex-boyfriend with a sleepover soliloquy. "I sat up and looked at him and said, 'you have to get out! You can not be here!'" she says. "And I think he was a little offended." Sorry sexuality conspiracy theorists. I don't know if that clears anything up either way.
She's also had something she calls "night hallucinations," where she see something (a person, a swarm of bugs) that she believes is real, at least in the moment. She says she's never spoken to a professional about this phenomenon, but as the girl who starred in the 2004 TV movie
I Downloaded A Ghost, I am surprised she's not considering a more paranormal explanation.
