Margot Robbie Said She Channels Animals For Her Movie Roles, And Honestly, Her Explanation Makes A Lot Of Sense

It makes a lot of sense.

Margot Robbie has been THAT GIRL in some of Hollywood's biggest movies over the last few years.

So when she appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show and said she works with a movement coach to channel animals for her biggest movie roles — I was intrigued but not surprised.

“I didn’t go to drama school so I don’t know if this is something everyone does in drama school,” Margot said. “But it’s something I discovered after, it’s something I actually started doing when I was on I, Tonya.”

For I, Tonya, she said she channeled a pit bull because "they're very misunderstood." She added that she has a pit bull and loves them, so she identified with the canine to feel "heavy on her feet" and "like the world was, like, bearing down on her all the time."

"But then on the ice, she's a mustang, like a wild horse — when she's ice skating."

For her most recent role as Nellie LaRoy in Babylon, Margot said she channeled an "octopus and a honey badger."

It definitely felt like the character had eight arms for most of the film.

Then Kelly Clarkson and Margot went back and forth about how aggressive and carefree honey badgers are. “There are videos of honey badgers fighting snakes. There’s videos of honey badgers, which aren’t huge animals, fighting lions. And they have really thick skin, and they’re insane.”

She finished by saying Nellie LaRoy has "very thick skin and fights anything and anyone at the drop of a hat.”

And that Nellie did.

In the past, Margot has played Valerie Voze in Amsterdam, Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad, Kayla Pospisil in Bombshell, Sharon Tate in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and more.

I'm assuming it's obvious what she channeled for Flopsy in Peter Rabbit, but maybe she channeled an alligator?

Next up, Margot is starring in the new Barbie movie later this year with Ryan Gosling, and now I'm wondering what animal she channeled for the blonde-haired toy icon.
