Sebastian Stan Spills the Tea on Why Playing Young Donald Trump Was Tougher Than a Kardashian’s Workout Plan

Buy Me A Coffee

Sebastian Stan, our beloved Bucky Barnes, has traded in his vibranium arm for a 1970s hairpiece to play a young Donald Trump in The Apprentice. Yep, you read that right—he’s gone full Trump, and the experience was no walk in Mar-a-Lago.

In a fresh interview, the 42-year-old actor shared that stepping into the former President’s shoes was like trying to run in stilettos—uncomfortable, precarious, and bound to provoke reactions. And boy, did it ever. Even the President-elect chimed in with an opinion, because of course.

The Struggles of a Stan-Tastic Trump
“Honestly, it wasn’t just about becoming Trump,” Sebastian said on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast. “It was the sheer circus of reactions. People told me not to do it. They said I didn’t look like him—like, duh, I don’t have the hair or the spray tan. Others said it was career suicide. But hey, acting isn’t about playing it safe—it’s about jumping into the deep end, even if the pool is full of sharks.”

Sebastian added, “People confuse trying to understand someone with sympathizing with them. Nope. Not here. The movie doesn’t scream, ‘Hug a Trump!’ It’s more like, ‘Would you even let this guy hold your coffee order, let alone your future?’ Big questions, people.”

Hollywood’s Silent Shade
While critics and fans have been chewing over the film like it’s a Thanksgiving turkey, Sebastian confessed that the Hollywood response has been…awkward. “It’s funny,” he said. “People come up to me at parties—whispering, of course—saying it’s their favorite film of the year. But when it comes to shouting it from the rooftops? Crickets. I’m like, come on, don’t leave me hanging!”

Oh, and about that whole Variety’s Actors on Actors thing? Sebastian had to bow out because, drumroll, nobody wanted to chat with him. That’s right—the guy who survived Thanos’s snap couldn’t survive the Hollywood cold shoulder. But hey, Paul Walter Hauser, his buddy from I, Tonya, swooped in to say, “I’ll do it, bro!” Now that’s friendship.

The Real Question
Would you trust Sebastian Stan-Trump to sell you a used car, let alone navigate the complexities of life? Who knows? But one thing’s for sure—Stan’s performance is leaving everyone talking, even if some are doing it in hushed tones. Buckle up. This isn’t just a movie; it’s a ride.
