Zoe McConnell for Variety Emma Corrin is making history. The 30-year-old actor, who catapulted to fame playing Princess Diana in “The Crown,” is Variety’s first nonbinary Power of Women cover star. But it wasn’t exactly a no-brainer — in fact, they were hesitant. “It was a scary thing when [the cover offer] first came in,” Corrin admits.
We’re in the huge, dome-shaped penthouse of London’s Hotel Café Royal, but Corrin and I are sitting cross-legged on the floor instead of on the perfectly suitable velvet couch behind us. “It’s a label thing, isn’t it?” they continue. “Which doesn’t mean anything but also it does, and it’s confusing.”
