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