Ellen Page Strips Down to Her Underwear in W Magazine

W asked the brunette beauty about some of her more difficult roles and how she prepares herself for upcoming films.

Page explained that she never fails to see the positives in delving deep into a character's psyche.

"At 17, I co-starred in Hard Candy, about a pedophile and his victim, whom I played. My character had to castrate the pedophile. I've always loved learning things for a part, and I remember researching castration and thinking, 'This is so interesting,'" she explained.

"I'm a nerd that way: I love the challenges of this job."

The magazine also featured spreads from the four other cover girls named: Cara Delevingne, Charlotte Casiraghi, Kristen Wiig and Naomi Campbell.
