Summary
Variety’s new interview has Emma Corrin reflecting on life as a queer, nonbinary actor, saying they are proud to be visible while still protecting a private part of their identity.
Corrin, who came out as nonbinary in 2021 and said in 2022 that they use they/them pronouns, framed that visibility as a way to help other queer people feel seen.
Playing Princess Diana in The Crown still stands out as a defining role, Corrin said, recalling director Ben Caron’s advice to channel the fear of portraying Diana into the performance.
After 1 year off Instagram, Corrin said they returned because the industry left little choice, but now see value in being a nonbinary presence on the platform.
The 30-year-old actor next appears in Netflix’s Pride & Prejudice adaptation, extending a career they said changed dramatically after The Crown.
