The photo of Margot Robbie that sparked a wave of criticism for a bad retouch: what happened to her legs
An image of a session for "Vogue" was questioned by the actress's followers on Instagram
A photograph that was part of Margot Robbie's session for the Australian edition of Vogue sparked hundreds of comments that referred to poor digital retouching.
Margot herself, who is now present on movie billboards thanks to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, shared the black and white photograph on her Instagram account.
From the angle and pose of Margot, it seemed that the upper part of her body was larger than the lower part and it was precisely in that area where her followers on the social network were puzzled by a detail: it seemed that Margot had only one leg and Also, she looked too skinny.
"I refuse to believe those legs are from a human being", "Where is your other leg?", "Very cute but what is happening to your legs?", "I'm really confused about her legs", "one-legged queen", "I don't understand, is that a leg?", were among the most popular comments.
One of the messages also read that the Australian actress is too pretty and she has no need for her photos to be digitally altered.
The same style of image was the one that was appreciated on the cover of the publication. Margot in black and white in a pose and angle that showed her larger upper body.
Margot has so far not commented on the controversy unleashed by the photo shoot.
In the magazine, Margot was interviewed by Quentin Tarantino, who directed her in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.
Robbie played Sharon Tate, the actress murdered in the 1960s by followers of Charles Manson, in Tarantino's new film.
Regarding her work with Tarantino, Margot declared a few weeks ago:
"It was much more than she could have imagined. She wanted to see him work," said the Australian, who went to the shoot even when she had already finished her scenes to learn and enjoy the director's work.
He also joked that, in his dreams, he had imagined that when he participated in a Tarantino film he would play a character with "guns", "blood" and "beating up", so his role in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood was something completely different from what I had projected.
The stories around Margot
The Australian star was involved a few days ago in a story according to which her relationship with Brad Pitt transcended beyond the filming of Once Upon.
The actors would be having "secret" dates in London, in the midst of Margot's marital crisis.
According to that story, Margot was talking to her friends in London about how "supportive Brad has been and how amazing it has been for him to guide her in an industry where he's been such an iconic actor for so long."
However, the Gossip Cop site shot down that information by ensuring that there is no romance between the two.
The actress also stated in January that she feels pressured to have children and does not like being asked questions related to her motherhood.
How dare a man tell me what I should or shouldn't do regarding motherhood and my own body?" she commented in an interview and later added:
"I got married (to filmmaker Tom Ackerley, in 2016), and the first question I get asked in almost every interview is, 'When are you going to have a baby?' You got married, so now you have to have a child. Don't make assumptions. I'm going to do whatever I want."
