'Oppenheimer' star Emma Dumont comes out as non-binary, adopts new pronouns and name

Emma Dumont, known for her role in Oppenheimer, has shared a significant personal revelation: they now identify as a non-binary, trans-masculine person. In a recent update on their Instagram bio, Dumont officially adopted “they/them” pronouns, moving away from the traditional “she/her.”

Despite the change in pronouns, Dumont’s professional name remains “Emma Dumont” for work purposes. However, they now go by "Nick" among friends and family. A representative for Dumont confirmed the news, adding that the star is embracing this new chapter of their life with the support of those closest to them.

Dumont's career has seen rapid growth, with standout roles in major projects like Licorice Pizza and the Marvel series The Gifted. Most recently, Dumont appeared in Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer as Jackie, Robert Oppenheimer's sister-in-law, a role that earned international acclaim. Despite their growing fame, Dumont has remained relatively private about their personal life, only recently opening up about their identity on social media. They have shared several posts, including selfies, but until now, had not publicly discussed their gender identity.

Their next project, The New Me, is eagerly awaited, though a release date has yet to be confirmed. It will still carry the name “Emma Dumont” for professional reasons. While their career continues to thrive, Dumont's decision to live authentically is a significant step forward for visibility within the entertainment industry, and a reminder of the importance of personal evolution in both life and art.
