Margot Robbie Fattened Up And In Frizzy 80s Hair To Play Tonya Harding Is A Crime Against Nature
Dailymail – She’s been hitting the ice hard, in more ways than one, to take on her new role as disgraced ice skater Tonya Harding.
And while Margot Robbie is doing a great job in the rink, her slender body looked nothing like Harding’s heavier physique…until now.
The 26-year-old was spotted filming I, Tonya in Atlanta, Georgia, on Friday with her blonde hair styled in frizzy waves and toting some extra pounds thanks to a padded body suit.
It was a bizarre casting when it was announced but the pics really drive home how strange of a choice it was to put the world’s hottest Australian playing a white trash pimple on the ass of American figure skating history. The movie’s description sounds like something a person came up with during a fever dream:
The movie follows Tonya and husband Jeff Gillooly, played by Sebastian Stan, who secretly hired a thug to break rival Nancy Kerrigan’s leg to force her to pull out of the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer in Norway.
You’ve got Margot Robbie and Sebastian Stan, best known as Captain America’s buddy/enemy Bucky in the Marvel movies, two of the best looking people in Hollywood playing substantially less attractive fat Midwestern idiots who conspired to kneecap America’s best hope at figure skating gold in the 90s. And while I think they thought this would be one of those “Charlize Theron gets ugly, wins Oscar” moments, it seems more like they’re doing a Lifetime movie that’s way beneath them. There’s a lot of drama in the Nancy Kerrigan-Tonya Harding, two women competing for the spotlight and one completely self-destructing in the process, and I’m sure that Margot Robbie wants to be known as more than just an unrelentingly gorgeous face and thinks this is the source material to get her there.
But there’s no shame in just giving the people what they want. People don’t want Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt playing the Phantom of the Opera or a guy who took a faceful of acid, they want them smirking and being handsome and charming and falling in love with some chick. And with Margot Robbie the people want her to be sexy as hell, maybe crazy or wounded but still sexy as hell, and they want to stare at her for two hours. No more no less. I admire her for deviating from the easy path but no need to be a hero when you’ve got the world by the balls like Margot Robbie does right now.
Anyway since there isn’t any better time to link this, you can watch Tonya Harding’s sex tape here (NSFW duh) if you want, hopefully Margot Robbie has to act this part out too at some point. Fat suit, frizzy hair, whatever, I’d still watch, you’re a liar if you’d say otherwise.
