Which says a lot considering my crippling [social anxiety](https://time.com/6111258/good-anxiety-therapists/ "undefined"). We went for dinner after one of their (Olivier-nominated) theater performances in London and bonded over a fear of losing ourselves to newfound waves of attention, both struggling with having suddenly become public figures during the pandemic. Emma and I vowed to be there for each other if things ever got overwhelming. But what’s clear is that their success—a singular, groundbreaking career that is only [just getting started](https://time.com/6309384/best-tv-shows-fall-2023/ "undefined")—is firmly anchored by their wisdom and an unwavering dedication to who they are. Truth is, they’ve never needed help, but it is a privilege to be there for them if they ever do. --- ### More from TIME --- _Levy is an Emmy-winning actor, director, and writer_ Emma Corrin Is on the TIME100 Next 2023 List ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/"},"headline":"Emma Corrin","datePublished":"2023-09-13T11:00:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-03T00:19:04.782Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/","keywords":["TIME 100 Next","sponsorshipblock","time100nextartists23"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6cf50498233b82a/698a401e929fadbb76bfa217/time100-next-emma-corrin-2023-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"TIME Staff","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/time-staff/"}],"creator":"TIME Staff","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltf6cf50498233b82a/698a401e929fadbb76bfa217/time100-next-emma-corrin-2023-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/","name":"Emma Corrin"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"See Everyone on the TIME100 Next List","description":"TIME100 Next, our annual franchise recognizing the rising leaders in health, climate, business, sports, the arts and more.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QxIk3IJu/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2023-09-13T11:00:00.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QxIk3IJu.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/","duration":"PT1M58S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/collections/time100-next-2023/6308487/emma-corrin/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
