Emma Dumont has come forward and revealed their new name.
The American actor, model, and dancer is best known for their role as Robert Oppenheimer’s sister-in-law, Jackie, in the Oscar-winning blockbuster Oppenheimer.
They starred alongside Cillian Murphy, Emily Blunt, Robert Downey Jr., Matt Damon, and Florence Pugh on the big screen.
Dumont is also known for their roles in the ABC Family drama Bunheads, the NBC show Aquarius, and the Fox series The Gifted.
The actor has now made a significant revelation about their life, which is being celebrated by fans across social media.
One follower wrote, “Enjoy being you and your newfound freedom!”
Another follower adds, “I’m very happy for you.”
“Congrats for coming out,” says someone else.
A fourth fan comments, “So exciting to get to be yourself!”
The actor’s revelation follows a change in their appearance, now sporting a choppy short haircut that fans are loving.
“You look so cute!” gushes one Instagram follower.
In agreement, a second adds, “Nice, new era!”
Dumont recently took to social media and updated their bio, changing their pronouns from ‘she/her’ to ‘they/them.’
Following the update, TMZ reached out to a representative for the star, who commented, “They identify as a transmasculine non-binary person.”
The representative added, “Their work name is still going to be Emma Dumont, but they will go by Nick with friends and family.”
Transmasculine is an umbrella term referring to people who were assigned female at birth but identify with masculinity, according to Healthline.
Non-binary is a term used to describe genders that don’t fall into the traditional categories of male or female.
Despite Dumont’s recent social media activity, they have yet to publicly address coming out.
The actor is set to star in the upcoming horror film New Me, which follows a young mother desperate to understand why she doesn’t emotionally connect with her baby and husband.
Although filming for the project has concluded, no release date has been announced yet.
