Sebastian Stan, known for his roles in Captain America and other notable films, has undergone a striking transformation for his latest project. The actor has taken on the role of a young Donald Trump in the upcoming movie “The Apprentice,” which is based on Trump’s reality show of the same name.
Captured on set in Toronto, Canada, Sebastian Stan was virtually unrecognizable with his portrayal of the former president. Sporting Trump’s iconic blonde hair and clad in a navy suit, Stan embodied the essence of the businessman-turned-politician. A scene set in the snowy backdrop showcased Stan sitting on a bench, indulging in a sandwich and a can of Coke, mirroring Trump’s well-known preferences.
Directed by Iranian filmmaker Ali Abbasi, “The Apprentice” also features Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova as Ivana Trump, Donald Trump’s ex-wife. The film delves into the intricate world of Trump’s rise to fame through his reality show and his subsequent journey into politics.
While Donald Trump has been portrayed by various actors in the past, including Alec Baldwin and Jason Sudeikis on Saturday Night Live, Sebastian Stan’s portrayal promises to offer a fresh perspective on the enigmatic figure.
This isn’t the first time Sebastian Stan has tackled real-life characters. He previously portrayed Tonya Harding’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly in “I, Tonya” and musician Tommy Lee in “Pam & Tommy,” showcasing his versatility as an actor.
Sebastian Stan’s transformation into a young Donald Trump is a testament to his dedication to his craft, and fans eagerly await the release of “The Apprentice” to witness his portrayal of this iconic figure.
