BBG News

As a seasoned movie critic with a penchant for delving into the lives of the artists behind the silver screen, I must say that Emma Dumont’s journey is one that resonates deeply. Known for their captivating performances in blockbuster films like “Oppenheimer,” it’s heartening to see an actor embracing their true identity and living authentically.

Actress Emma Dumont has chosen to identify with a different gender in their private life, opting for a new name, while continuing to use the name Emma professionally.

30-year-old actor, known for portraying Jackie, J. Robert Oppenheimer’s sister-in-law in Christopher Nolan’s 2024 best picture winner “Oppenheimer,” announced a personal change on their Instagram account. They updated their pronouns to “they/them” and introduced a new name, Nick, in their bio.

A representative for Dumont did not reply immediately Friday to The Times’ request for comment.

In simple terms, ‘Andrew Jackson, the VFX supervisor for Oppenheimer, discusses the intense process of trial and error that resulted in the portrayal of the nuclear blast scene.’

Dumont uses the handle ‘@emmadumont’ on social media platforms, an arrangement that their publicist clarified to TMZ.

The publicist shared that the individual prefers to be recognized as a transmasculine, nonbinary person. While their professional moniker remains Emma Dumont, they are known as Nick among friends and relatives.

A person identified as transmasculine leans more towards masculinity rather than femininity, though they may not identify fully as male. This term is frequently shortened to “transmasc.

The term “nonbinary” is frequently employed by individuals who don’t adhere to the traditional male-female gender categories. Some people exclusively use this term, while others might use it synonymously with terms such as genderqueer, genderfluid, gender non-conforming, gender diverse, or gender expansive. According to the organization’s glossary, these are all terms that refer to identities outside of the conventional gender binary.

According to a 2021 study by the UCLA Williams Institute, which focuses on sexual orientation and gender identity matters, approximately 11% of the adult LGBTQ community identify as nonbinary. Although they represent about 43% of the national transgender population, this research indicates that the majority of nonbinary individuals within the LGBTQ community do not identify as transgender.

On International Trans Day of Visibility, comedians from Los Angeles’ stand-up circuit discuss their struggle for prominent roles, not only on stage but also in front of the camera and off-screen in the Hollywood industry.

Supporters have been sending encouraging messages on Dumont’s recent Instagram post from Monday, with one individual expressing their well-wishes for the actor, saying “have a happy coming out.

“Love this for you!” another user wrote.

Additionally, other notable figures who have recently disclosed their identities are Julia Fox, a rising star from “Uncut Gems,” and R&B sensation Khalid.

Prior to his role in “Oppenheimer”, actor Dumont has previously been seen on NBC’s series “Aquarius” and the 2021 movie “Licorice Pizza”. He is also set to appear in an upcoming horror film titled “New Me”, though its release date remains undetermined at this point.
