I, Tonya: Cast vs real life in pictures: Margot Robbie and Tonya Harding

Margot Robbie brings to life Tonya Harding, who was the first American woman to complete a triple axel during a competition.

In 1994 Harding’s ex-husband conspired to injure Nancy Kerrigan, a fellow Olympian which resulted in Kerrigan withdrawing from the national competition.

Tonya’s life and career was destroyed as she has been forever associated with one of sports most infamous scandals.

Robbie has been hotly tipped for an Oscar for her portrayal of the figure skater as the movie has been nominated for three Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actress.
