VIDEO : Julianne Moore: ?Ellen Page Helped Me Understand Lesbian Role?

Actress Julianne Moore has credited Ellen Page for helping her perfect her latest lesbian character in the gay rights drama ?Freeheld,? revealing Page made her realize how difficult it was for her to hide her sexuality. She tells Out magazine, ?Ellen had so recently come out, and this is going to sound silly, and hopefully not hurtful, but I don?t think I was aware of how painful it is to be closeted. I have the advantage of being a person who?s never had to hide my sexuality, so I asked her a lot of questions ? frank questions ? about what that feels like."
