Sebastian Stan is willing to bet a lot that Donald Trump has seen his portrayal of the President of the united States in 2024’s The Apprentice, and even liked one aspect of it.
What did Sebastian Stan say Donald Trump would like about The Apprentice?
In a recent interview with Vanity Fair, Stan opened up about the movie, where he plays a younger Trump as he meets Roy Cohn. Stan is so sure that Trump has seen the movie that he would put money on it, due to what he says is Trump’s narcissim.
“I would put money down he’s seen it 100 f***ing times, of course, because he’s a narcissist. And I bet you there’s certain things he likes about it.”
When asked what he thinks Trump might have liked about the movie, Stan jokingly said “how he looked,” another reference to his previous comments about Trump’s narcissism.
Released in October 2024, The Apprentice was directed by Ali Abbasi, and also stars Jeremy Strong, Martin Donovan, Maria Bakalova, Catherine McNally, Charlie Carrick, Ben Sullivan, Mark Rendall, and more.
The film received praise from critics, and both Stan and Strong were nominated for various awards, including Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor Academy Award, Golden Globe, and BAFTA nominations.
“1970s New York. Determined to emerge from his powerful father’s shadow and make a name for himself in Manhattan real estate, aspiring mogul Donald J. Trump is in the earliest days of his career when he encounters the man who will become one of the most important figures in his life, political fixer Roy Cohn,” the official synopsis reads. “Seeing promise in young Donald, the influential attorney — who secured espionage convictions against Julius and Ethel Rosenberg and investigated suspected Communists alongside Senator Joseph McCarthy — teaches his new acolyte how to amass wealth and power through deception, intimidation, and media manipulation. The rest is history.”
