Elle Fanning opens an OnlyFans in her new series, 'Margo is having money problems'

BarcelonaAt 28 years old, Elle Fanning is in a splendid moment of her professional career. This year she has been nominated for best supporting actress for Valor sentimental, she will be one of the protagonists of the prequel to The Hunger Games and this week she premieres a new series totally designed for her to shine. In Margo has money problems, which arrives this Wednesday on AppleTV, she plays a young university student who becomes pregnant after having relations with her professor, who is older and married. The girl decides to have the baby, but that means leaving school and financially supporting her new, small family. Her world will open up when she discovers OnlyFans, where she will create a profile and earn money by rating her followers' penises.

The series is an adaptation of the novel of the same name by Rufi Thorpe, which has been quite successful in the United States. The person in charge of the television adaptation is David E. Kelly, one of the great television producers in the United States (Ally McBeal, Big Little Lies) and husband of Michelle Pfeiffer, who also appears in the series. In fact, the actress has a fundamental role: she plays Shyanne, Margo's mother. She also had her daughter very young and has made a living in part thanks to her physical appearance, as she was a waitress at Hooters for many years, a fast-food chain that stands out for hiring attractive and scantily clad waitresses. Margo's father, Jinx, is a former professional wrestler who reappears after undergoing a detoxification process. Surprisingly, the man, played by Nick Offerman, turns out to be a wonderful babysitter for his newborn grandson. In addition to Fanning and Pfeiffer, the other female face in this family tragicomedy is Nicole Kidman, who plays a wrestler friend of Jinx who has become a lawyer.

Before becoming pregnant, Margo has literary aspirations. Once she is a mother and opens her OnlyFans account, she discovers that in this environment she can also apply her talent for writing. She will create an alter ego, HungryGhost, to which she will give her own personality and wardrobe. "When she creates HungryGhost, her dreams come true again, or at least there is a light and a new spark," Fanning explained during the series presentation. In addition to being the protagonist, she is also a producer of the series along with her sister, fellow actress Dakota Fanning.

Although her career has been more focused on cinema, Fanning has had various relevant roles on television. The series that has brought her the most joy is The Great, a cheeky biography of Catherine the Great. For this production, which can be seen on Netflix, she was nominated three times for a Golden Globe and once for an Emmy.
