Sebastian Stan Claims Trump Watched 'The Apprentice' 100 Times

Sebastian Stan, who portrayed Donald Trump in the 2024 film 'The Apprentice,' said in a recent Vanity Fair interview that he is certain Trump has watched the movie many times, attributing this to Trump's narcissism. When asked what Trump might have liked about the film, Stan joked that it was likely 'how he looked.' The film, which chronicles Trump's early years in real estate and his mentorship by Roy Cohn, received critical acclaim and earned Stan an Oscar nomination. Trump previously criticized the film on Truth Social, calling it a 'cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job.' Despite the film's controversial subject and Trump's strong reaction, Stan acknowledged both the challenges of playing such a polarizing figure and the recognition his performance received within the industry. Stan also reflected on the importance of finding humanity in the characters he portrays, regardless of their public perception.
