Ellen Page lies down, makes headlines anyway

Wondering what Ellen Page has been up to since Inception? Judging from a series of recent photos, mostly lying face down in the street. It seems the Halifax-born indie star is the latest fan of the Lying Down Game, which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. Started by a couple of quirky British dudes, the game has participants simply lie face-down in a weird place, take a photo of themselves, and then post it to the official Lying Down Game Web site, or to the Facebook group.

Page proved herself worthy of her down-to-earth reputation when she posted to Facebook a series of photos of herself playing the game. The petite 23-year-old can be seen lying down all over New York, including on a set of stone stairs, on top of a shopping cart and delicately balanced on an orange traffic pylon. We love you, Ellen—even NYC filth can’t make you any less adorable.
