Oppenheimer Actor Emma Dumont Comes Out as Trans-Masculine and Non-Binary, Uses They/Them Pronouns

Dumont will continue to go by Emma professionally and Nick in their personal life.

Emma Dumont is sharing a major life update.

Dumont, best known for playing Jackie Oppenheimer in the 2023 Oscar-winning biopic Oppenheimer, and Lorna Dane/Polaris in the comic book series The Gifted, came out as trans-masculine and non-binary this week per their representative, and will go by they/them pronouns instead of she/her.

TMZ was first to report the news.

Their Instagram bio reflects their new pronouns and name — Nick — though Dumont’s representative confirmed Dumont will continue to go by Emma professionally.

“They identify as a trans masculine non-binary person. Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont, but they will go by Nick with friends and family,” the rep TMZ.

“Only call me Nick if ur cool okay?” they wrote on their updated Instagram profile.

Dumont shared a carousel of Instagram photos earlier this week, including a bathroom selfie and a shot of themselves holding a guitar.

Their next role is in a film coincidentally titled New Me. The film is currently in post-production and does not yet have a release date.
