She has been nominated for an Oscar for her role as disgraced figure skater Tonya Harding in I, Tonya.
And after forging a bond with Harding while making the movie, Margot Robbie has opened up about bringing the former Olympian to the Golden Globes as her date last month.
The Aussie beauty told James Corden: ‘Omg, she was so much fun to have there. Tonya anyway is very unapologetic about who she is and that’s kind of liberating sometimes, especially if you are at a fancy event because she just was not afraid to go up to anyone and say hi and get a picture,’

The Suicide Squad star was impressed at how unfazed Tonya was at the star-studded event.
‘She was like, “Oh, there’s Meryl. I’m gonna go say hi.”‘ Margot, 27, added.
‘She didn’t know who people were at all,’ Margot added. ‘That was even more hilarious. At one point she was like, “That is the lovely lady who helped me in the photo line at the beginning.”
‘She’s like, “Hi! Hi!” waving, and I was like, “That’s Sharon Stone. Sharon Stone’s the lovely lady?”‘
‘She just was not afraid to go up to anyone and say hi and get a picture,’ Margot said of Tonya, 47. The duo are pictured at the Golden Globes on January 7
