Bald patches and scars: how the beautiful Margot Robbie s’is left maimed for the role

Everyone is looking forward to it’appearance of Margot Robbie as a Barbie doll in the new comedy by Greta Gerwig. And really – to whom d’else could be trusted to represent the most famous toy in the world, which has created a kind of female cult? And we decided to remember that Margot can be completely different and play not only conventional beauties. Below is an example that will prove it to you.

Margot Robbies’is widely known after appearing in The Wolf of Wall Street by Martin Scorsese: her seduction scene of the hero Leonardo DiCaprio will not leave anyone indifferent’a person completely indifferent to cinema and feminine charms. For this short role,’Australian received the’Empire Award for best debutante of 2014.

The directors began to offer Robbie many interesting projects, and in the end she got a very difficult role, a real career challenge. In 2018, the’actress presented the costume premiere of “Two Queens”, dedicated to the’story of the tragic relationship between Elizabeth I Tudor and Mary Stuart, Queen of’Scotland.

Margo played Queen Elizabeth and the role of Marie, the widow of the King of France, went to Saoirse Ronan.

Remember that’between the two women, who are cousins ​​by blood, existed a very complex relationship, involved in sympathy, rivalry and, above all, disputes over succession to the throne. Historians decipher this relationship by examining the letters that Tudor and Stuart exchanged over many decades. The filmmakers went further by imagining a meeting between the two queens, who in reality n’never took place.

Women never face each other – they talk, moving to different sides of the canvas. In the film, this’explains simply: Elizabeth did not want her very beautiful sister to see what she looked like, the Queen of’England.

There are several theories regarding the’appearance of’Elizabeth Tudor, daughter of’Henry VIII and d’Anne Boleyn. Naturally red-haired and white-skinned, she, as researchers suggest, abused white lead, s’exposure to heavy metal poisoning. To hide the damaged skin, the “mistress of the seas” … bleached even more and, in addition, wore a copper wig, starting a kind of fashion.

The creators of the film “Two Queens” presented their version of events: at the’screen, a young, amorous and beautiful Elizabeth falls ill with smallpox. The queen manages to save her life, but she loses her beauty: her delicate skin is disfigured by potholes, her hair climbs in clumps.

In an attempt to hide the consequences of the disease, the daughter of’Anne Boleyn fails and becomes a bad caricature of’herself. This hardens her and ultimately affects the fate of the unfortunate Mary Stuart.

Margot Robbie accepted a complex disfiguring makeup to embody the transformation of the’appearance and character of her character – and she succeeded! Although in some episodes the beauty is simply unrecognizable.
