Elle Fanning Owns Her Boldness In 'Margo'S Got Money Troubles'

Elle Fanning's Bold Take on Nudity in Her Latest Role

Elle Fanning is stepping into the spotlight with a fearless new performance in Margo's Got Money Troubles, available on Apple TV+. As she brings Rufi Thorpe’s gripping novel to life alongside Hollywood heavyweight David E. Kelley, Fanning's portrayal of a pregnant undergrad navigating unexpected challenges is causing a stir. Particularly, the way nudity is depicted has been a hot topic of conversation, and Fanning is "really proud" of how it's not the main focus.

The Oscar-nominated actress has been candid about her comfort with onscreen nudity, explaining her perspective to People:

“I feel like I kind of broke that down in The Great. I was like, ‘I’ve kind of already done this.’”

Emphasizing the natural and integral role nudity plays, she adds, “It’s not in an overly sexualized way at all.”

Nudity with Purpose and Thoughtful Storytelling

For Fanning, nudity in Margo's Got Money Troubles goes beyond the superficial. “A lot of it is actually just having to do with the necessities of motherhood, the need to feed your child and breastfeed," she explains. The narrative cleverly contrasts this natural depiction with her character's later venture into OnlyFans, offering a thoughtful commentary on how her character, Margo, transforms her relationship with her body.

Fanning shares humorous stories from the set, detailing how prosthetics were used to portray realistic breastfeeding scenes. "A lot of the time, I did have prosthetics to make [my boobs] look like breastfeeding boobs and milk that would squirt out this contraption that they had," she reveals, underscoring the effort put into portraying authenticity.

A Star-Studded Cast and Weekly Entertainment

Joining Elle Fanning in this intriguing series are Nicole Kidman, Michelle Pfeiffer, Nick Offerman, Michael Angarano, Thaddea Graham, and Greg Kinnear. With such a stellar ensemble, each new episode promises to keep viewers hooked every Wednesday on Apple TV+.

Elle Fanning has undeniably set a new standard, boldly embracing the intricacies of her role and challenging conventional portrayals of nudity on screen. It’s a performance that is not just grabbing attention but also reshaping conversations around body image and storytelling.
