Olivia Colman Opens up on Gender Identity as Actor Says 'I've Always Felt Nonbinary'

Olivia Colman, promoting queer film Jimpa, shares her lifelong nonbinary feelings and describes herself as a gay man to her husband, reflecting on gender identity.

  • Olivia Colman said in an interview with Them she `felt sort of nonbinary` and `always described myself to my husband as a "gay man"`, never feeling massively feminine.
  • Working on Jimpa taught her more about pronouns and introduced her to nonbinary and trans communities, she said.
  • The 52-year-old actress, known for roles from Peep Show to The Crown, stars in Jimpa as a mother visiting her nonbinary teen and her gay grandfather in Amsterdam.
  • Her openness may boost visibility for nonbinary experiences as Colman discussed feeling `sort of nonbinary`, and Jimpa's release has sparked cultural debate due to John Lithgow's involvement.
  • As a semi-autobiographical film by Sophie Hyde, Jimpa stars nonbinary teen Aud Mason-Hyde, 20, whose role has resonated and may influence young audiences' coming-out talks.
