The Hollywood star, who also starred in Licorice Pizza, confirmed their family has started calling them the new name too. The 30-year-old has confirmed they will now use the they/them pronouns instead of she/her, making the change apparent on their Instagram profile. They also wrote in the blurb: "Only call me Nick if ur cool okay?" While the star, best known for playing the role as Jackie, the sister-in-law of J. Robert Oppenheimer (Cillian Murphy) in the hit movie, will still be going by the name Emma Dumont for career purposes, their representative confirmed they will go by Nick with friends and family. Despite recent social media activity, Dumont, who was born Emma Noelle Roberts, has yet to publicly address their coming out.

They also took on a role in The Gifted on Fox, while also starring in ABC Family's dance series Bunheads as Melanie. Other credits include Pretty Little Liars, The Fosters and The Magicians.

Swimmer Emma McKeon, Australia's most decorated Olympian and an eight-time world-record holder, retired from the sport on Monday aged 30. McKeon won 14 Olympic medals, six of them gold, over the Rio, Tokyo and Paris Games this summer. "Today I am officially retiring from competitive swimming," she said on Instagram, along with a collage of clips showcasing her many career highlights. "Leading into Paris I knew it would be my last Olympics and the months since have given me time to reflect on my journey and think about what I wanted my future to look like in swimming," she said. It was at the COVID-delayed Tokyo Games in 2021 that McKeon really made her name, winning an unsurpassed seven medals to join the all-time swimming greats. Her four gold and three bronze bettered the six won by East German Kristin Otto (1952) and American Natalie Coughlin (2008). It also matched the record for most decorated woman athlete at a single Games, tied with Russian gymnast Maria Gorokhovskaya (1952). A versatile and tenacious freestyle and butterfly racer, her career had looked in jeopardy after failing to qualify for the London 2012 Olympic team. Instead, she went on to become her country's most honored Olympian -- a field with plenty of competition given Australia's swimming prowess. "I am proud of myself for giving my swimming career absolutely everything, both physically and mentally," she said on Monday. "I wanted to see what I was capable of -- and I did." Born in Wollongong in New South Wales, McKeon, whose excellence was matched by her humility, had heritage in the pool with her father Ron swimming at the 1980 and 1984 Olympics. McKeon's mother Susie swam at the 1982 Commonwealth Games while her brother David competed at the 2012 and 2016 Olympics, with Emma and David becoming the first brother and sister to swim for Australia at the same Games in 56 years. "She was and will continue to be a great role model for younger athletes," said Australian swim team head coach Rohan Taylor. "She always carried herself with dignity and while we all saw her grace the public can not truly appreciate how tough she is. "Emma is a fierce competitor and she pushed herself through so many challenges during her career." Australia's Olympic Committee hailed her for consistently "setting the standard for excellence" while Swimming Australia said he would remembered in the same vein as greats like Dawn Fraser and Ian Thorpe. "She will also be remembered for how she represented swimming," said Swimming Australia chief Rob Woodhouse, McKeon's uncle. "The standards she set in and out of the water were second to none and she has a lifelong love of the sport so she won't be disappearing from swimming."

Nearly 15,000 people lined Gainsborough Road in the pouring rain to take in the 16th Hyde Park Santa Claus parade and support a great cause. With a sports theme to this year’s parade, floats were decorated with hockey nets, basketball hoops and local soccer, hockey and baseball teams were taking part. Leading the way as the Grand Marshall was London Majors legend, Cleveland Brownlee. “This city has done for so much for me, and to allow me to walk in the Hyde Park Parade, this is nothing short of amazing,” said Brownlee. “This is just like being on the field on a Friday night.” London Majors legend Cleveland Brownlee was the Grand Marshall for the annual Hyde Park Santa Claus Parade in London, Ont. on Nov. 23, 2024. (Brent Lale/CTV London) Brownlee, who moved from Georgia to London in 2010 to play for the Majors, has been a community supporter since day one. “I always believe in giving back because I came from a place where a lot of people didn't give back,” said Brownlee. “I just always wanted to grow up and once I made something of myself, I wanted to give back to the community as best I could. So, I do a lot of volunteering with the London Abuse Women's Centre, London housing, kids’ baseball, all kind of community events and the Business Cares Food Drive is coming up soon. All little things like that, just to help a community that has opened its arms for me.” The slugger just completed his 14th season with the Majors. It was a combination of his community service and excellent play on the field, which made him a perfect choice to lead the parade. “The Lions say we serve and why do we serve? We serve to make the world around us a better place,” said Rob Harbottle, past president of the Hyde Park Lions Club (HPLC). “Cleveland does just that.” Members of the Hyde Park Lions Club (HPLC) and Rob and Tracy’s NoFrills walked the route collecting essential supplies for the North London Food Bank. “We do this to collect food for the food bank, but it has evolved into a giant community event where everyone not only collects food, we collect toys, we collect boots and other supplies,” said Harbottle. Thousands of families endured the heavy rain to take in the annual Hyde Park Santa Claus Parade in London, Ont. on Nov. 23, 2024 (Brent Lale/CTV News London) Last year, they collected 2,430 pounds of food and more than $10,000 in cash. More than 140 volunteers make this parade a possibility. “I just can't thank the volunteers enough for putting something like this together,” said Josh Morgan, London’s mayor. “When you get to walk through the parade, you see the smiling kids and it’s just a great community event.” Morgan also knows the importance of the parade, as the demand at London’s Food Bank’s grows daily. London Mayor Josh Morgan waves to the crowd at the annual Hyde Park Santa Claus Parade in London, Ont. on Nov. 23, 2024 (Brent Lale/CTV News London) “All parts of the city have a great need,” added Morgan. “There are phenomenal organizations in every corner of the city and up this way, their work at the Resource Centre and their food bank and food cupboard, it's just amazing. It helps so many people. That's why not only can you come here and have fun, but you can support a great cause.” London Top Stories Nuclear operator helps fund affordable housing project in Goderich video | Thousands endure heavy rain to take in Hyde Park Santa Claus parade Wingham area raises $3.6 million for new CT scanner Next week’s weather will put the 'brr' in November Knights win dramatic Friday night comeback Budget Day 2: Councillors hope for service wins, and cost savings at city hall budget deliberations Victim forced into a vehicle, assaulted, robbed, and held against their will: police Canada's tax relief plan: Who gets a cheque?
