Margot Robbie Herniated a Disk for 'I, Tonya'

Actress Margot Robbie chatted with Ellen about her highly-acclaimed film, "I, Tonya," and how being a producer made her suck up all of her injuries.

[@clarachase9]

Wait, wait wait.. 31 DAYS? You only had 31 DAYS to shoot the ENTIRE FILM?!?!

[@zahabiapancha5652]

Maybe it is without post production

[@saibot6227]

Um…they shoot 8 hours a day-

[@psycane8462]

Margot looked so happy when Ellen mentioned Allison Janney winning the Golden Globe for her role and that’s just so sweet, she seems like such a nice person despite the characters she often plays. Very glad to see her and Janney getting Oscar noms for the film

[@ac62994]

Okay, I, Tonya is already one of my top movies of 2017, but learning now that they made it in only 31 days? HOW!?

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

ac sb filming doesn't take long. Some independent films get shot in 15 days. It's the editing that takes long. I think little miss sunshine was shot in 15-17 days.

[@AJ-cq5pw]

It's my new favorite movie too and yes like wtf how did they do that 31 days

[@mlovelace8317]

They filmed for 31 days, but Margot had to train and practice the choreography for months before. Still, 31 days is still a ridiculously small amount of time!

[@danielhuang2488]

Novella Cinephile I don't think editing take very much time either. I think pre-production takes the longest, but that's just my guess.

PROFESSIONALS

[@annamuradova984]

I've just watched this interesting film. And I was amazed by Margo. She managed to play this role so perfectly. So I certainly recommend you all watch and enjoy. Incredible scenes of complicated life , a mad mother, who has made her daughter a champion but at the same time has broken her way to live.

[@thegossipswan009]

Anna Muradova is it safe to watch this movie with a family member? Cause i've seen The wolf of wall street with friends and my brother & it was kinda uncomfortable (:

[@annamuradova984]

thegossipswan009 Of course, it doesn't consist any erotic scenes. Maybe just only one.

[@jammzy2959]

I feel so bad for Tonya, they couldn't even get a double to show how amazing she was...like that's how amazing she was. There were people who could do it, but not many did it in competition. The only people I remember were Asian... No one knows if she did it and people have gotten away with a lot worse....

[@linda36]

Jamila Hollins I'm actually surprised that they didn't have tonya do the triple axle and just not show her face in it. I would've loved to have seen her do it again, think this would've been extra awesome to have and know tonya did it for the movie..I would bet money that she can still do it at her age, especially when she still frequents the rink weekly, it was her history maker/proudest moment, sure she still practices it!

[@jammzy2959]

Linda Kowalski you think so? That would be amazing if she could! It's okay though because we all know what she did and it can't be taken away from her. Such a sad story.

[@thebagelchief1140]

@@linda36 Considering the fact that only just recently did an American woman perform the a triple axel in the Olympics for the first time, I SERIOUSLY doubt that Tonya Harding in her late 40s, with a significant amount of weight gain, could pull off a triple axel. Plus, even if she could, the weight would make it impossible for her to be used as a double.

[@user-np8yf8fj2w]

Linda I think it might’ve been a bit obvious if they switched from margot to Tonya for a split second...It would’ve looked like such horrid editing

[@MsSHINeeGirl12]

She seems so down to earth she’s great

[@michaelhanley2930]

This is said of Aussie actors a lot. They are known for being down to earth. People say the same thing about Hugh Jackman and the Hemsworth brothers.

[@Mari-co3xi]

@@michaelhanley2930 been living in australia and yeah majority of the people are very laid back and simple.

[@Nobodysurvivesevenonebit]

margot really is wifey goals. everything about her is perfect.

[@karenling2106]

were back with margot robbie who is a producer and star of i tonya

[@johnward3807]

nobody survives even one bit She is a bit dizzy, I feel if you had money she would be an easy date.

[@juancpgo]

she's gorgeous and charismatic, that's all you can know about her

Misogynistic sexist pig😡😡

[@psvillanelle9398]

She’s such an incredible actress

[@aaronbrosnan7005]

And the Oscar for Best Performance By An Actress In A Leading Role goes to MARGOT ROBBIE for I, TONYA !! 🏆 u did so fantastic in this Robbie !! Amazing

[@harleyquiinnnn]

her outfit is just * chefs kiss * 👌🏼👌🏼 the jeans the blazer, the red blouse underneath. and her hair... just so perfect

[@ItsBritneyBitch1]

She is such an incredible actress and the fact that she produced this movie as well!! ❤❤ Can't wait for her production of the Harley Quinn movie!!

[@Mmmkay10]

She should've won the Golden Globe EASILY!!!!!!

[@janreygordon1698]

sadly she had to face Saiorse Ronan in best actress

[@GloriaMiriam]

Margot is so beautiful

[@christopherlewis7115]

Margot is so beautiful and amazing inside and out. She's done such great work in I,Toyna and I look forward to her doing a lot more this year.

[@peppapigstan1560]

6 women in international competition did it. There are other people who can do it but they think its too risky for an international competition.

[@ayudone8673]

Allison Janney *literally* stole the show in the movie... 👏🏽👏🏽

[@movieswithaman.]

I LOVE MARGOT SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL AND HER every single dialogues the way she delivers. its amazing her comedy cuteness is awesome.....

[@missisfreddiemercury]

She is so beautiful inside and out. Love Margot!!

[@trapsource_goddess]

Can’t believe that was a low budget film, never would have guessed. I thought it was amazing and I loved it.

Margot is talented and beautiful... love her

[@mayacskn]

I’m seeing her next week ! Can’t wait 😭❤️

[@JaneDoe-em7zi]

I don't understand why no one ever called CPS on Lavonna- what a monster. If I'd walked into a bathroom and saw that she would've been in a world of hurt.

[@celina2945]

She is so beautiful 😭

[@7ahraaa]

i feel like a proud mama for margo 💓👏💕

[@anniecampbell2653]

Margot plays so many roles of psychos that seeing her so mellow in real life makes my heart so soft 🥺🥺

Margot Robbie is def up on the best and funny lists of guests on Ellen. Others are Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande. I swear to god, no other interview was as funny as these guys.

[@Kim-jc7jk]

Wow, they clearly don’t know the severity of a herniated disc. I needed a spinal fusion because of one.

Herniation of a disc is no joke, it's painful.

[@amandavasconcelos577]

Every video i watch they say they couldnt find someone to do the triple axxel, but they never say the name of who did it in the end. I’m dying to know!

[@SullyJane]

Amanda Vasconcelos they had to use CGI for the triple axel!

Why did they have to shoot in 31 days? Is it because of the low budget? I'm sure I, Tonya gained a lot of money and appreciation, though, I absolutely loved it!

[@subscriptions510]

Only Margot can get away with wearing grandpa’s blazer and still manage to look stunning.
