Margot Robbie Transforms for 'I, Tonya' On Set; Actress Unrecognizable
Dannel Picaccio Camille Perez LozanoMargot Robbie is confirmed to portray another astounding role in the form of Tonya Harding, a controversial figure skater involved in a controversy that shook the world of the sport. The Australian actress has been spotted on set for the film.
According to E Online, Robbie was seen donning a 90's style pair of jeans, with a seemingly faded blue sweater and a top with a frizzy, messy blond wig. The actress seemed quite unrecognizable at first glance, and looked almost the same as the famed figure skater. However, instead of resorting to an actual physical change, the actress was given a prosthetic transformation, making her look like she gained a few pounds, closer to the actual Tonya Harding.
The biopic, titled "I, Tonya," tackles the true-to-life events that occurred during the 1994 Winter Olympic Games involving Harding and her ex-husband attacking pro-skater Nancy Kerrigan. The latter is known to be the all-time rival of Harding who, after an Olympic practice session, was attacked by a hit man. The man reportedly attempted to break her leg so she would remain seated for the remainder of the games.
Sebastian Stan (Marvel's Winter Soldier) is confirmed to be in the film, as well. He plays the ex of Harding, Jeff Gillooly. The assailant was not successful, as Kerrigan continued on to win the silver medal. Harding eventually ranked eighth overall. Harding was not incarcerated because Gillooly forwarded a plea, but the former pro-skater was not excluded from any repercussions, as her profile reports.
Tonya Harding was then labelled by the media as a "bad girl" due to the choices she made. As for her punishment, she was given probation that lasted three years plus 500 hours of community service and a fine of $160,000. The movie is slated for release on 2018, but without a specific date yet.
