Sebastian Stan, 42, plays Donald Trump, 78, in “The Apprentice“. Written by Gabriel Sherman and directed by Ali Abbasi, the biographical drama film made its world premiere at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France on May 20, 2024.
Born in Constanta, Romania, Stan moved to Vienna, Austria with his mother Georgeta Orlovschi in 1989. They moved to Rockland County, New York in 1993.
In 2002, Stan became a U.S. citizen. In 2005, he graduated from Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA.
Born in Queens, New York City, New York, USA, Donald graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania with a bachelor’s degree in economics in May 1968. He served as the 45th U.S. president from January 20, 2017 to January 20, 2021.
What does Sebastian Stan think about Donald Trump?
From 2004 to 2015, Donald co-produced and hosted a reality television series titled “The Apprentice”. Stan first received the script for the movie of the same title in 2019.
The movie was filmed from November 2023 to January 2024. It is about Donald’s career as a real estate businessman in New York in the 1970s and the 1980s.
For the movie, Stan had to start speaking with his lips in a different way. In an interview with Variety, the actor said he thinks Donald is “a lot smarter than people want to say about him because he repeats things consistently and he’s given you a brand.”
As part of Stan’s preparation for the movie, he had 130 videos on Donald’s physicality on his phone and 562 videos of the former U.S. president from the 1970s to the present. According to the actor, this allowed him to pull out the politician’s speech patterns and try to improvise like him.
Does Donald Trump support the film ‘The Apprentice’?
Stan also plays a man with neurofibromatosis in “A Different Man“, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, United States on January 21, 2024. It will be released in the U.S. on September 20, 2024.
On October 11, 2024, “The Apprentice” will be released in Canada and the U.S. Also in the cast are Martin Donovan, 67, as the late Fred Trump; Charlie Carrick, 38, as the late Fred Trump Jr.; Maria Bakalova, 28, as the late Ivana Trump; Jeremy Strong, 45, as the late Roy Cohn; and Joe Pingue, 48, as the late Anthony Salerno.
Donald will become the 47th U.S. president if he wins the 60th U.S. presidential election on November 5, 2024. As the Republican nominee, he has to beat his Democrat opponent Kamala Harris, 59.
Donald does not personally support the movie titled “The Apprentice”. His campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung called it pure malicious defamation.
“We will be filing a lawsuit to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers,” NBC News quoted Cheung as saying. “This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked.”
