Margot Robbie stars as Tonya Harding in the film. She told Jake Gyllenhaal, as a part of Variety's Actors on Actors
series, that when she met Harding, the ice skating star asked her, "‘How are you dealing with fame and being famous?" Robbie told Gyllenhaal, “And actually, it was very kind of her to ask. Because to be honest, her situation was horrible, and it happened to her so young, and I think what made the biggest difference in the world was she didn’t have a support network around her. And I do, and I’m so lucky.”
