Sebastian Stan Names 1 Thing He Thinks Donald Trump Liked About The Film The Apprentice

Sebastian StanSebastian Stan, who starred as a young Donald Trump in the 2024 biographical drama film The Apprentice, thinks the president isn’t as big of a hater toward the movie as he claims to be.“I would put money down he’s seen it 100 fucking times, of course, because he’s a narcissist,” Sebastian said in a Vanity Fair cover story published on Monday.“And I bet you there’s certain things he likes about it.”He continued, with a smile, “[like] how he looked”.Sebastian — who was nominated for both an Oscar and a Golden Globe for his performance in the movie — responded to Trump’s attacks on the project, which he described as “a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job” on his Truth Social platform less than a month before the election.The Ali Abbasi-directed film looks at Trump’s time as a real estate developer in the ’70s and ’80s, as well as his relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn (played by Jeremy Strong, who also received an Oscar and Golden Globe nod).Trump’s attorneys reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to those behind the film last year, and a campaign spokesperson threatened to sue over the movie, despite no lawsuit being filed in the months since.Donald TrumpSebastian has previously indicated that he’s seen pushback from Hollywood over the movie.He told Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon in December that an unnamed studio executive advised him against the role, which inspired him more to eventually take the part.Following the election, Sebastian also revealed that he was invited to be part of Variety’s Actors on Actors, a video series that sees Hollywood stars interviewing one another. But other actors, he said, were “too afraid” to discuss Trump with him.Sebastian’s Captain America co-star Chris Evans told Vanity Fair that the actor taking on The Apprentice role didn’t shock him, noting that he has “always been really fearless”.“You can see that in his choices. He takes big swings,” Chris claimed.“When that Trump movie was kicking around, I remember thinking, ‘I wonder who is going to take this job? It’s just got so many strings attached to it.’ And I was so unsurprised when I heard it was Sebastian.”As far as whether Sebastian thought he’d face retribution from Trump ahead of the Academy Awards in March, the actor told the outlet that he wasn’t trying to sweat it unless he won the Oscar, which he found to be a “0.0000%” chance.MORE FILM NEWS:American Psycho Director Left Baffled By 'Bro' Worship For Patrick Bateman In ‘Very Gay’ FilmDemi Moore Shares Her Honest Reaction To Losing The Oscar To Mikey MadisonHere's Why Pride And Prejudice's 2005 UK Ending Was So Different To The US'
