Sebastian Stan on Why Playing Donald Trump Was the ‘Hardest Thing’ He’s Ever Done and How ‘Thunderbolts*’ Is Like Marvel’s ‘The Breakfast Club’
Awards Circuit Podcast: Sebastian Stan talks about playing Donald Trump and why Marvel's "Thunderbolts*" is like "The Breakfast Club."
The 41-year-old actor is riding high on a wave of critical acclaim for his two vastly different but equally daring performances in “ The Apprentice ” and “ A Different Man,” which earned him double Golden Globe nominations — a feat last achieved by Ryan Gosling in 2016. From donning prosthetics and exploring themes of self-acceptance in “A Different Man” to stepping into the psyche of one of the most polarizing figures in modern history for “The Apprentice,” Stan’s ability to disappear into a role is matched only by his determination to tell complicated stories, no matter the fallout. Directed by Ali Abbasi, the film is a biographical character study of a young Donald Trump, focusing on his formative years and the traits that would eventually define his presidency.
