“They’re someone who can do a lot with a little, and that’s a tremendous quality for a performer,” Grandage saysĪs the sun beats down and ice-cream-crazed children run amok, our conversation turns to another topic that animates both of us: the hunt for the perfect car. “Did you see their music video together? I feel like they’re both having a teenage sexual awakening,” Corrin says. “I’m going to butcher what the book is about, but he basically likens queerness to having an apartment on another planet, because it feels like nothing works in the way you need it to in order to feel seen.” On the guilty-pleasure front, Corrin and I share a mutual fascination with the budding relationship between Selling Sunset star Chrishell Stause and nonbinary Australian rapper G Flip. Preciado’s An Apartment on Uranus, the latter of which struck them so deeply that they shift from their perch on the park bench we’re sharing to present me with a delicate astral tattoo on their right arm, inked there in honor of Preciado’s work. Recent favorites include Olivia Laing’s To the River and Paul B. In the upcoming Michael Grandage–directed romantic drama My Policeman, Corrin plays the jilted third party to a clandestine love affair (this one between a policeman and a museum curator played by Harry Styles and David Dawson, respectively), but where Diana took the pain of her failed marriage out on herself through disordered eating and self-harm, Corrin’s My Policeman character Marion aims her rejection and fury squarely out at the world, determined not to be the only one hurting.įilming the new show Retreat is an every day affair, but in spare moments Corrin is working on a screenplay of their own (which they describe merely as “an adaptation of a true story”) with writing partner Avigail Tlalim-or reading. While Levy and the rest of Corrin’s friends know Corrin to be constitutionally upbeat, they’re developing a reputation for typifying emotional dissatisfaction onscreen.
They’re very funny, always in a scrape of some kind, and they are an excellent observer of human nature.” “If I had to liken our friendship to a fictional one, I would say maybe Gordie LaChance and Chris Chambers in Stand By Me, but that’s mostly because we both look like small boys sometimes,” jokes Martin over email, adding that Corrin “has a streak of Larry David about them. Martin and Corrin bonded over the experience of having their shows come out during the pandemic.
#DAPPER DUDES SERIES#
As a queer, nonbinary actor in Hollywood, Corrin was never going to blend in, but their Met Gala look felt like a love letter to standing out.Īnother of Corrin’s closest industry confidants is the Canadian comedian Mae Martin, who has explored self-expression and the limits of gender identity on their semi-autobiographical Netflix series Feel Good. (It feels worth noting that there is no “best nonbinary performer” category at the Oscars.) For the 2022 Met Gala, Corrin wore a custom Miu Miu coat and top hat inspired by the 1880s New York socialite Evander Berry Wall, who was commonly known as “the King of Dudes.” The outfit was masculine, but also foppish and historically inclined and just the slightest bit silly, sending a clear message about how Corrin wanted to be perceived on that night. There’s a touch of camp here too, even a subversion of award shows that have long prized a strict adherence to traditional gender roles. Think of the Loewe balloon bra they wore over a floral dress to the 2022 Olivier Awards-where they were nominated for their role in the West End play Anna X as a “fake heiress” inspired by real-life grifter Anna Sorokin. They’re not scared of it.” There is, at times, a joyful weirdness to Corrin’s style, in the most wholly reclaimed sense of the word. “What’s exciting about working with Emma is that they’re a risk-taker,” says Lambert, adding, “They want to have fun. Corrin claims Tilda Swinton as an inspiration in fashion, and it’s not hard to see a link between the two actors’ instinct for play and irreverence. Collaborating with stylist Harry Lambert, they favor of-the-moment brands like Loewe, Marco Ribeiro, and Charlotte Knowles (they are also a brand ambassador for Miu Miu and Cartier). Corrin’s looks have been much remarked on and tracked ever since they wore their first Celine suit and tie for a British Vogue party just before the start of the pandemic.
