Elliot Page Narrowly Survives Red Carpet Exposure To Actual Mythological Poetry

The actor and Julia Shiplett braved a three-hour premiere without once checking if Homer was still active on social media.

A caricature of the couple for the story Elliot Page Narrowly Survives Red Carpet Exposure To Actual Mythological Poetry shows them posing with ancient artifacts.
Spotted: Elliot Page and Julia Shiplett at the London premiere of 'The Odyssey,' proving once and for all that they are much more sophisticated than the rest of us who spent the weekend scrolling through TikToks of cats falling off blenders. The pair hit the red carpet looking so effortlessly cool that the surrounding ancient Greek atmosphere reportedly tried to modernize itself just to keep up. Julia took to the Gram to document their journey, which supposedly involved a lot of 'London vibes' and not nearly enough Trojan horses. We were slightly disappointed that nobody arrived inside a giant wooden structure, but Elliot’s blazer was sharp enough to cut through any mythological curse, so we’ll give them a pass this time. While the rest of the world is struggling to read a menu without pictures, these two are out here celebrating epic poems that are thousands of years old. It’s a bold move. Most celebrities won't even attend an event if the title of the movie has more than three syllables, but Elliot is clearly playing the long game with the classics. Rumor has it they managed to survive the entire screening without asking where the Marvel cameos were. If that isn't true love and high-brow commitment, I don't know what is. Next week, we expect them to be spotted at a reading of the tax code, looking equally chic and mysterious.
