Bio-pics are always inspiring to watch because it portrays the real life struggles and achievements of the famous personalities. They teach us how to deal with different situations in life and how to persevere through the worst situations since everything may not be all jolly on the way. The most talked about bio-pic under the making is "I, Tonya" about the controversial, figure skater, Tonya Harding that will feature Margot Robbie as the protagonist, Tonya. Since the news about the movie, hasn't been much to follow-up with until recently when pictures of the actress appeared on set dressed as the skater.

According to information received from MovieWeb, the "Suicide Squad" actress was seen on the sets of "I, Tonya" wearing a 1990s that included a sweater paired with high-waisted retro jeans. The production of the movie has not released any information about the bio-pic regarding the location of the shooting, duration or release date since its announcement on March 21 2016. The pictures show the amount of resemblance that the actress has with the famous skater and the amount of dedication that the team has.

It is not always easy to get into the character of a person and re-enact their behavior but considering the fact that Margot Robbie is extremely talented, we can expect an outstanding performance. The 26 year old actress has been working hard because news from ComicBook explains that earlier this month, she has been spotted on cameras while practicing special moves and styles on the ice skating rink on Jan 3 2017.

The pictures show that the actress was also wearing a padded body suit to match the physique of Tonya Harding as there is a significant amount of difference in appearance and weight. The hair and make up for Robbie had been done precisely so that it mimics that of Harding.

Tonya Harding also had a very successful boxing career other than her famous figure skating records which makes the woman's achievements a milestone which is difficult to match till date. She had two rough marriages which ended up in divorces before finally conceiving her first son with the third husband, Joseph Jens Price.
