As you may have heard, Margot Robbie, who didn’t think she was attractive enough to be in The Wolf of Wall Street, is playing infamous Olympic figure skater Tonya Harding in an upcoming film called I, Tonya.
Here we know this because as she was shooting the film over the summer she was caught yelling “Suck my dick!” at someone in the movie. Fun, right?
We also know that the 27-year-old Robbie is a pretty damn good figure skater thanks to some footage that hit the internet while they were filming I, Tonya.
Here’s a look at Robbie as Tonya…
In a recent interview with W magazine, Robbie discussed some of what went into making the film, as well as her opinion of the well-documented character she was playing.
Before filming began, Robbie and her director, Craig Gillespie, flew to Portland, Oregon, to meet Harding in person. “I wanted there to be a clear distinction between the ‘real’ Tonya and the one I would be playing,” Robbie explained, adding that she had already made up her mind as to how she would approach the character. “I didn’t want to sugarcoat her,” she said. I asked Robbie whether or not she believes Harding was innocent. “In the beginning, I wasn’t really sure. There were things that didn’t add up. Facts were muddled.” She smiled. “But the more I became Tonya, the more I saw things from her point of view. I’m on her side 100 percent. I don’t think she did anything but be different from what the world wanted. There are cool misfits, and then there is Tonya. She didn’t fit in. And I love that.”
Hmmm… okay, well… hey, pictures! And videos!
I, Tonya hits theaters December 8, 2017.
