Actor Emma Dumont, best known for their role in Oppenheimer, has shared a major update about their personal life. They have announced they are trans masculine non-binary and will use they/them pronouns.
As part of this change, Dumont, 32, has also decided to adopt a new name for personal use. Among friends and family, they will now go by Nick Dumont, while keeping their birth name, Emma Dumont, for professional purposes.
This decision reflects their journey to live more authentically. For many, stepping away from societal norms can be challenging, but it’s often necessary to honor one’s true self. Dumont’s choice is not just about self-expression but also about embracing their identity fully.
Navigating these changes might remind some of Elliot Page’s journey. Page, who came out as a trans man in 2020, received widespread support from fans and colleagues alike. Dumont’s story carries a similar sense of courage and determination to live authentically.
Fans may wonder if this change means saying goodbye to the name Emma Dumont in movie credits. The answer is no. Dumont will continue to use their birth name professionally, ensuring their established career remains intact while their personal identity evolves.
Their Instagram bio now reflects this transformation, displaying their updated pronouns and personal name. While their new name Nick Dumont might feel like a formal choice, it already seems to suit their style and personality.
Dumont’s representatives explained that they “identify as a trans masculine non-binary person” and clarified that while their professional name will remain Emma Dumont, they’ll go by Nick with close friends and family.
Fans have reacted positively to the news, praising Dumont for their bravery. One Twitter user wrote: “Good for them!” showing the support they’ve received from their followers.
This thoughtful balance between personal and professional identity highlights Dumont’s dedication to living openly while maintaining their career in Hollywood.
