Ellen Page grabs lunch with bisexual actress pal Evan Rachel Wood... almost two weeks after coming out as gay

#askaroundnow
They have been friends for years and will co-star in upcoming futuristic drama Into The Forest but Ellen Page and Evan Rachel Wood have something else in common. 
The two actresses enjoyed a lunch date in Los Angeles on Sunday where Evan, who announced she was bisexual in 2011, was most likely giving Ellen some advice after the Juno star came out as a  lesbian in a brave Valentine's Day speech.
While reaction to Ellen’s sexuality has been overwhelmingly positive, no doubt she is relieved to have friends such as Evan, who have been through a similar experience, to talk to.

Ellen, 27, made her announcement while delivering a speech at the Human Rights Campaign's Time To THRIVE conference for LGBTQ [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Questioning] youth.
In her speech, Page said she hoped her news would help others struggling with their sexuality, saying: 'I'm here today because I am gay. And because maybe I can make a difference.
'To help others have an easier and more hopeful time. Regardless, for me, I feel a personal obligation and a social responsibility.'
Meanwhile, Evan, 26, who welcomed her first child with husband Jamie Bell last year – revealed in 2011 that she is bisexual. 
She told Esquire magazine: 'I'm up for anything. Meet a nice guy, meet a nice girl.'

She replied 'yes,' after being asked if she dates women, adding she is 'kind of like the guy when it comes to girls.
'I'm the dominant one,' she said.  'I'm opening the doors, I'm buying dinner. Yeah, I'm romantic.
'I was always into very androgynous things. Guys, girls... I'm into androgyny in general.'
And after her 2012 wedding, she confirmed to her Twitter followers that nothing had changed about her sexuality. 
'Question, honestly not trying to be an a**. Just trying to understand. Does this mean you are not bi anymore? How [does] that work?' wrote Twitter user Maryann O'Neill, who works of the US Coast Guard.

Wood - who married Billy Elliot star Bell in a secret California ceremony, replied firmly: 'No,' before elaborating with a wink: 'It just means i am not single anymore ;).' 
Both actresses opted for casual outfits for their lunch on Sunday, wearing biker boots and baggy boyfriend jeans. 
While Ellen completed her outfit with a plaid shirt and a baseball cap with the name of Zoe Kravitz’s band Lolawolf, Evan opted for a black coat and white T-shirt.
