Elle Fanning Dives Into The World Of Onlyfans With 'Margo’S Got Money Troubles' On Apple Tv+

Elle Fanning's Bold New Role Hits Apple TV+

Los Angeles welcomes Elle Fanning's daring new series, "Margo’s Got Money Troubles," premiering on Apple TV+ this week. In what promises to be her most audacious role yet, Fanning stars as Margo, a young woman navigating unexpected turns in life – including a pregnancy with her professor's child. When life throws her a curveball, Margo turns to OnlyFans, drawing parallels to Miley Cyrus's infamous wrecking ball moment as she leaves her child star past behind.

This Apple TV+ exclusive, based on the bestselling novel by Rufi Thorpe, spans eight episodes and delves into the complexities of modern life choices. Fanning's portrayal of Margo reveals a young woman finding her empowerment on a platform known for its range of content, from the extreme to the tame. "The writers set up an account so we could see how the platform worked," Fanning shared with ELLE UK. "We got to understand the spectrum of people's interests."

“We got to understand the spectrum of people's interests. From extreme to extremely tame. Like one girl I saw, she just cooks in a little sexy outfit,” Fanning explained.

A Unique Approach to Research

The show’s creative process included a unique dive into the world of OnlyFans. Showrunner Eva Anderson emphasized the importance of consent among the team while researching the subscription-based platform. "There was a lot of looking at OnlyFans with the writers, but we all gave consent to each other before we did it," she explained during a panel discussion. This research was crucial in shaping Margo's OnlyFans persona, "HungryGhost," which becomes a canvas for her creativity and self-expression.

The series doesn't shy away from tackling serious themes, focusing on ending judgment around sex work. Margo's journey is portrayed with optimism and resilience, as she navigates life's surprises with determination and hope.

Star-Studded Support Behind the Scenes

Elle Fanning isn't alone in this venture. Supported by a stellar cast, including Michelle Pfeiffer as her mom, a former Hooters waitress, and Nick Offerman as her dad, an ex-pro wrestler, "Margo’s Got Money Troubles" offers a rich tapestry of characters. The narrative is further enriched by rapper Rico Nasty, who plays a fellow OnlyFans creator and voices a poignant sentiment: "All sex work is art."

Fanning, who also serves as executive producer, reflects on the empowering themes of the show. "You can dream up a path for yourself of a big plan, of what you see your future looking like," she observes. The series champions the importance of choice and perseverance, a message woven throughout Margo's journey.
