MARGOT Robbie has opened up about what it was like to take Tonya Harding as her date to the Golden Globes.
The Aussie actor was nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture at the awards for playing the disgraced skater in I, Tonya.
Robbie was asked by talk show host James Corden what Harding was like as a date and the former Neighbours star replied, “the best”.
“Oh my god, she was so fun to have there. Because, I mean, Tonya anyway is very unapologetic about who she is and that’s kind of liberating sometimes, especially if you’re at a fancy event.”
Robbie told Corden that Harding wasn’t shy about approaching celebrities in the room to ask them for a picture.
“She just was not afraid to go up to anyone ... She was like, ‘Oh there’s a Meryl, I’m gonna go say hi.’ And I was like, ‘No, sit down, sit down.’”
But there were a lot of celebrities in the room that Harding didn’t recognise at all, which Robbie said was “even more hilarious”.
“At one point she was like, ‘That’s the lovely lady who helped me in the photo line at the beginning.’ She was like, ‘hi, hi’ and waving, and I’m like, ‘That’s Sharon Stone!’
“She had no idea who she was,” Robbie said.
The Aussie star missed out on a Golden Globe award but has also been nominated for the Best Actress Oscar.
It’s unlikely she’ll walk away with an Academy Award on March 5 though, with Frances McDormand and Saoirse Ronan considered the frontrunners.
