Actors find their inspiration in all kinds of places. Jared Leto is famous for the way he tries to inhabit a character even when the camera isn’t moving. Some, like Christian Bale, have been known to alter themselves physically in order to be in the right frame of mind. Perhaps Margot Robbie has a somewhat different tactic, in that she equates characters to animals and uses them to inspire her characters.
in appearance on tIt’s The Kelly Clarkson Show the Babylon Najma talked about her operation. The actress has a movement coach working with her, and she has since been nominated for an Oscar for her performance I’m Tonya. She explained how her performance as Tonya Harding was inspired by two animals, one on ice and one on it. Robbie said…
I didn’t go to drama school so I don’t know if that’s something everyone in drama school does. But that’s something I discovered then, it’s something I really started doing when it was me, Tonya. So this was the first time… I was a pitbull. With her figure skating, I wanted her heavy on her feet. I wanted the character to feel like the world was pressuring her all the time. But then on the ice is a mustang, a wild horse.
It is certainly not uncommon for people to be compared to animals, both in the way they move and in the way their attitude is presented. And since so much of acting is portraying a character without words, it’s not surprising to hear that an actor uses a trainer to assist with character movement in the same way they might use a trainer to learn accent or fight choreography.
And we have to say it as much I’m Tonya He goes, he really sees that it has worked. The actress got Tonya Harding as the ant that Robbie smacked her co-star in the head with
Of course, if you’re going to ask Margot Robbie what animals inspired her characters, you have to ask about her current character, Nellie LaRoy in Damian Chazelle’s Babylon. She also seems to be two animals at once. Robbie continues…
It’s an octopus and a honey badger.
While I’m not sure anyone would have said while watching Babylon Which Margot Robbie reminded me of an octopus, now that I’ve heard her say it, it’s apt. And sure enough, there is at least one scene in Babylon Ruby becomes very violent and puts up with the brutality of the Honey Badger. As the actress explained…
they are crazy! This snake fight scene is all honey badger. There are videos of honey badgers fighting snakes. There are videos of honey badgers, which are not huge animals, fighting lions. And they have really thick skin, and they’re crazy. She has very thick skin and fights anything and anyone at the drop of a hat.
It makes one want to go back and watch all of Margot Robbie’s roles and see what animals she might have been inspired by. You can see her playing octopus and honey badger Babylon right Now. I wonder what animal Barbie He is?
