‘Apprentice’ Star Sebastian Stan Unloads on Trump Ahead of Election: “Paranoid, Scared Little Man… Ain’t Caring About Your Situation”

The actor, who was born in Romania, says he was drawn to 'The Apprentice' because of the way it dissects the American dream. "I come from a place where people were silenced," he said.

Sebastian Stan, the actor who portrays a young Donald Trump in the hot-button film The Apprentice, slammed the former president and current Republican presidential nominee during an interview on Sunday, less than 48 hours before Election Day, calling him a “paranoid, scared little man” who “ain’t caring about your situation.” Stan, who was born in Romania and immigrated to America with his mother when he was 12, said he was drawn to The Apprentice because he feels it is fundamentally about the American dream: “What essentially started with my sort of dismissive, judgmental attitude of this guy started to shape into something bigger, which was not just about this guy, but also about a certain mindset and this idea of the American dream as we know it, and what is it, really? He continued, “The movie was asking the question, ‘What is the cost?’ And this man was sort of a really good example of what can happen as a result when you lose who you are because you are so focused on one thing and that nothing else matters, not even your humanity.”
