News about Liv Hewson

I have a friend* who, for the past 15 years, has sent me a Christmas card that says, without fail, 'Next year will be YOUR YEAR!' And it never has been. Not once. The death of so many animals, my mother, and three siblings is attributed to a family feud (not unrelated). Of course, losing my house would have upset me.

Liv Hewson, the nonbinary star of Yellowjackets, went for an edgy look at the Primetime Emmy Awards, which were held at Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Monday. The 28-year-old entertainer went shirtless underneath a chic black tailcoat with their pronouns embroidered on the sleeve. The Australian native matched the ensemble with black slacks and revealed a unique tattoo on their midriff.

Liv Hewson, who describes herself as non-binary and use they/them pronouns, is anxious about her experience, which included top surgery and the decision to withdraw from Emmys consideration over gendered categories. The 27-year-old Yellowjackets actor recalled always feeling 'an inarticulate pain,' a nebulous pain' in their own body when reflecting on their childhood in Australia. The actor revealed that they were fighting an "very bad" case of anorexia, which resulted from a 'discomfort with and alienation from' their body as they went through puberty. During an interview with Teen Vogue, Hewson remembered clinging to 'feminism and queer history, "searching for answers and community wherever" they 'could find it.' After discovering the word 'nonbinary' for the first time, they said it finally began to 'click into place.' The performer said, 'It was just immediate.' I can't do anything with this,' he said, but it came right back to that.' It's 2012, and I'm 16.'

When the 2023 Tony nominations were announced on May 2nd, two nominees made history. J. Harrison Ghee, a "Shucked" actor and "Some Like It Hot" actor, became the first openly nonbinary individuals to be recognized in the acting categories. But, there's also sting: the Tonys don't have gender neutral acting categories, so both Newell and Ghee have been nominated in the "actor" category. The call for gender neutral acting categories at major award shows has grown in recent years, due in large part to the increased exposure of nonbinary actors. Liv Hewson, a "Yellowjackets" actress who plays Teen Van on the show, told Variety in April that they would not be applying for the Emmys at all because of the show's gender-segregated categories.
