House of the Dragon’s Emma D’Arcy reflects on their impact as a non-binary actor
Emma D’Arcy has opened up about being a beacon for non-binary representation within the TV sphere. Over the last few years, the Hanna star – who goes by they/them pronouns – has gained recognition for their riveting performance in HBO’s House of the Dragon and their viral “Negroni Sbagliato” interview.
In addition to their stellar acting talents, D’Arcy has received praise from LGBTQIA+ fans for being an open book regarding their gender identity.
With their star showing no signs of slowing down, the 31-year-old talent recently opened up to GAY TIMES about their groundbreaking career and being a source of representation for non-binary viewers. “[It’s been] very beautiful.
Having a profile is a really strange thing, especially if you don’t expect that to be part of your life,” D’Arcy explained. “Being a gender non-conforming person on screen feels like a real privilege because when I was younger, I kind of thought that if I were to be able to act as my job, it would probably be quite separate from my identity, and maybe they would remain separate. “I didn’t know if it would be possible for those to overlap and be in conversation with one another.
