The actor, best known for their role in Oppenheimer, has shared they’ll be

using a different name among friends and family while keeping their

birth name for professional use.
Hollywood actor Emma Dumont has announced that they identify as trans masculine non-binary.

With this new chapter, the 32-year-old has embraced they/them pronouns and

shared that their close friends and family will now refer to them by a new name.

Navigating societal expectations can be challenging, especially when those norms

feel at odds with your true self.

Sometimes, living authentically means stepping away from those expectations

to honor who you really are.

For Dumont, this decision is not just about self-expression but also about

showing the world their true identity, even if it involves breaking away from the mold.

Being true to oneself can mean swimming against the tide and facing opposition.

However, the journey to authenticity is about finding happiness and living

in alignment with your inner truth.

Take Elliot Page, formerly known as Ellen Page, who came out as a trans man in 2020.

His story resonated with many as he received immense support, especially

from his peers on The Umbrella Academy.
His journey, though not without its challenges, paved the way for him

to live authentically.

Emma Dumont’s journey, while unique, echoes a similar spirit of courage

and self-discovery.

They’re stepping forward with the same bravery to share their truth and embrace their new identity.

Dumont’s journey may differ, but their bold step has certainly redefined boundaries.

Now, the question arises—will we still see the name ‘Emma Dumont’

in their professional credits?

Dumont, known for portraying Jackie Oppenheimer in Christopher Nolan’s

2023 epic drama Oppenheimer, has decided to retain their birth name solely for professional purposes.

So, fans can expect to continue seeing ‘Emma Dumont’ in film credits,

while their personal identity evolves separately.

This balance between personal and professional identity highlights their

thoughtful approach to this significant life change.

The shift in their identity is reflected on their Instagram bio,

under the handle @emmadumont.

Their updated pronouns and new name are displayed, offering

a glimpse into this transformation.

So, what name did Dumont choose?

They’ve opted for the name Nick Dumont among friends and family.

While it’s a formal choice, most will likely call them Nick in

day-to-day interactions. Once you hear the name Nick, it feels

like it fits. Their current style—short, tousled hair and casual t-shirts—perfectly

complements their new identity.

According to TMZ, Dumont’s representatives explained that they now

“identify as a trans masculine non-binary person”.

They further elaborated: “Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont,

but they will go by Nick with friends and family.”

Fans have taken to social media to applaud

Dumont for their bold and inspiring move.

One supporter on Twitter wrote: “Good for them!”
