Early life and background
Emma Louise Corrin was born on 13 December 1995 in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent, England. Raised in a family with two brothers, Richard and Jonty, Corrin is the child of Chris Corrin, a businessman, and Juliette Corrin, a speech therapist. They grew up in Royal Tunbridge Wells and attended Woldingham School in Surrey before progressing to higher education at St John’s College, Cambridge. While at Cambridge Corrin was an active member of the university’s theatre scene, appearing in numerous productions with The Cambridge Footlights.

During a gap year, Corrin studied Shakespeare at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and spent time volunteering as a teacher in Knysna, South Africa. Their formal training also includes drama study at the University of Bristol. Corrin has described using they/them pronouns and has publicly identified as queer and non-binary.

Career
Corrin began building their screen résumé with short films and television appearances. Early credits include the short films Cesare (2017) and Alex’s Dream (2018), and TV roles such as Esther Carter in Grantchester (2014), appearances in Pennyworth (2019), and the series Ten Percent (2022). They also contributed voice work to audio adaptations of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, voicing Thessaly in The Sandman: Act II (2021) and Act III.

Their breakout came in 2020 when Corrin was cast as Diana, Princess of Wales, in the fourth season of Netflix’s historical drama The Crown. The role brought international recognition and required an intensive preparation period, including studying books about Diana and meeting people who had known her. Corrin has said they worked on Diana’s vocal qualities with the help of their mother, who is a speech therapist. The performance earned Corrin several awards: a Critics’ Choice Television Award for best actress in a drama series, a Golden Globe for best actress in a television drama, a Broadcasting Press Guild breakthrough award, and a Hollywood Critics Association award for best actress in a streaming drama.

Following The Crown, Corrin expanded into stage and feature-film work. In 2021 they played the lead in the theatrical production Anna X at the Harold Pinter Theatre and The Lowry. Film roles include a feature debut in Misbehaviour (2020) as Jillian Jessup, and parts in My Policeman (2022), Young Grief (2023), Nosferatu (2024), and the period adaptation Lady Chatterley’s Lover (2022), in which they portrayed Constance “Connie” Reid / Lady Chatterley. Corrin continued to work across formats, appearing in short films such as The Pet Psychic (2021) and Cesare, and in 2023 made a runway debut at Paris Fashion Week for Miu Miu.

Television work has remained an important part of Corrin’s career.

In 2024 Corrin joined a major studio superhero project, appearing as Cassandra Nova in Deadpool & Wolverine. Corrin’s stage work continued in 2022 with a role in Orlando at the Garrick Theatre.

Corrin prefers the professional title actor rather than actress and has spoken about their gender identity as an embrace of multiple facets of self. In 2022 they became Vogue’s first non-binary cover star, and that year publicly updated their pronouns on social media and described themselves as queer.

Outside of acting, Corrin has a visible interest in fashion and runway work, and they often share images of their pet dog on social media. Their height is listed at approximately 5 feet 10 inches (178 cm), with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.
