Margot Robbie scared she'll suffer skating injury on set of new film
Margot Robbie is terrified of injuring herself on the set of I, Tonya.
The Australian actress stars in the upcoming biopic as disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding, who was accused of orchestrating an attack on competitor Nancy Kerrigan ahead of the 1994 Winter Olympics. Margot isn’t just lacing up her skates in front of the camera though as she’s also acting as producer, which presents a series of challenges and concerns for the star.
“I'm really excited because I'm producing the film as well, for the
first time I have all of these other concerns that I normally don't
think about when I'm just acting,” she told glamourmagazine.co.uk.
“Whereas now I'm so worried about getting injuries and ruining
pushing shoot dates back, that'll cost hundreds of thousands of
dollars - it's terrifying. So I'm really excited because I love
acquiring a new skill for a role, it's one of the biggest treats of
acting, and on the producing side of it - if I get an injury I'm
scared I'm going to ruin everything so I'm nervous.”
Margot’s schedule has been jam packed over the last few years, most
recently playing Jane in jungle tale The Legend of Tarzan and
Harley Quinn in DC Comics’ Suicide Squad. While shooting Suicide
Squad she became close to British model-and-actress Cara
Delevingne, and the two friends have been spotted out partying on
numerous occasions.
“She is a rare gem in this world and I've just never met anyone
like her,” Margot gushed. “She is the most genuine person you can
ever meet and there's nothing calculated about that girl. She's
like a little comet just blasting her way through this world.”
The two hang out a lot these days with Margot currently living in
the U.K., and the Australian beauty is enjoying her time as an
honorary Brit, despite not loving all the delicacies it has to
offer.
“At my first bite (of black pudding) I was like ‘yum’ and then
someone said it's dried blood and I was like 'I can't'. Once I
knew, I couldn't get past it. I tried but I can't,” she
shuddered.
