Though that may be true, their journey also came with its contradictions. “I’m working out all this complex gender and sexuality stuff. And yet, I’m seeing a guy? That feels very juxtaposed, even if I’m very happy.” Corrin said, unsure how to mend their feeling.
Corrin also shared withVoguehow their family responded to them coming out. “I started dating a girl and told my mum, and then my little brother DM’d me saying, ‘Hey, I wanted to say welcome, because I’ve been bi for ages,'” Corrin retold.

They continued, “The next generation is so much more chill. They are finding a way to express themselves which is less binary in a very organic way. While we’re almost caught in between.”
Also in the interview, the actor spoke about playing more traditionally feminine roles for the screen, including in their upcoming projectsLady Chatterley’s LoverandMy Policeman.
“I remember struggling with having to wear bras inChatterleyas Marion, but it’s quite difficult because I’m not Emma, right?” they said. “I’m an actor, and I have a job to do.”
“My dresser and I really had a laugh about me putting on these 1960s bras,” they added about their experience on the set ofMy Policeman.
