Margot Robbie On Her Budding Friendship With 'Wonder Woman's' Gal Gadot & More | PeopleTV

Margot Robbie has been extra busy promoting her new role as controversial figure skater Tonya Harding in the biopic I, Tonya, but the 27-year-old still finds time for her budding friendship with Wonder Woman herself, Gal Gadot. As soon as I saw Wonder Woman at the cinema, I immediately wrote to her and Patty and just said how proud they had made me feel to be a woman in the DC universe. I sat there watching that movie and not only was I engrossed in the film because it's a brilliant film, but I thought, I'm a woman in the DC universe and they right now have made me so proud to be that. So I just, yeah, anytime I see Gal, I want to give her a big hug. And Gal might return the favor after checking out I, Tonya. Robbie's honest portrayal of the legendary figure skater has already caused lots of buzz, especially amongst current skaters hoping to make it to February's 2018 Winter Games. Watch. I mean, what are my thoughts on Tonya Harding? Like... Um, it was maybe one of the biggest media fan-grabbing moments in history. Tonya was an example of not really believing in yourself and believing in what you can do and it was a dark chapter in figure skating history and, you know, this movie coming out, it definitely is bringing attention back to figure skating and that's not a bad thing. I mean, come on! What kind of friggin' person bashes in their friend's knee? Who would do that to a friend? It was an unfortunate series of events, but I think she's made the most of it and she's like the perfect example of like the comeback kid, like, if she can't skate, she's gonna box. If she can't box, she's gonna be a comedian and like, she just gets up and keeps going. At the same time, I think kind of bringing that back, it's a part of our history. At the end of the day, you know, there's no such thing as bad press and I think it'll be good to have people, you know, talking about figure skating again. I'm really excited to see her movie because, like, who doesn't want to get a look into her life?
