Sebastian Stan Was Told Playing Donald Trump In ‘The Apprentice’ Would Be “Unsafe”

Buy Me A Coffee

Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump? Yep, you read that right! The Winter Soldier is trading in his vibranium arm for a spray tan and a red tie to play the Donald in his latest flick, The Apprentice. Just in time to spice up the 2024 election, no less. Talk about cinematic timing.

But hold up, before you start imagining Marvel’s Bucky Barnes tweeting from a golden toilet, Sebastian was this close to passing on the role. And honestly, can you blame him? Playing one of the most… let’s say “unique” characters in modern history is no small feat.

When the offer landed on his lap, his first reaction was, “How in the world am I gonna pull this off?!” โ€” and letโ€™s face it, weโ€™ve all asked ourselves that same question about Trump at least once. His friends weren’t exactly chanting, “Do it!” either. They were more like, “Seb, buddy… maybe donโ€™t?” Apparently, people told him that A) He doesnโ€™t look like Trump (which, okay, fair), B) Itโ€™s definitely not safe (cue ominous music), and C) “Do you really want to make half the country mad, bro?”

But hereโ€™s the twist: all those warnings? They were like pouring jet fuel on Sebastianโ€™s motivation engine. โ€œOh, people donโ€™t think I can do it? Watch me,โ€ he probably muttered, dramatically lowering his aviator sunglasses. And off he went into the wild world of Trump research.

Yup, research. Turns out thereโ€™s more to Trump than hair memes and Big Macs (who knew?). Sebastian dove deep into the enigma that is Donald J. Trump, trying to figure out what makes the man tick. He wanted to get past the spray tan, the hand gestures, and the constant use of the word โ€œtremendous.โ€ What he found was something that shocked him โ€” they had something in common. Gasp!

Apparently, both Sebastian and Trump share an โ€œinnate need to succeed.โ€ (Cue inspirational background music.) No, seriously. Sebastian related to Trumpโ€™s relentless drive to win, to rise above, to dominate the competition โ€” whether it’s in the real estate world, the boardroom, or, well, global politics.

โ€œI get it,โ€ Sebastian said. โ€œThe need to overcome, to win at all costs. I know that feeling! Just like when I fought a giant purple alien for the fate of the universe.โ€ Okay, maybe not that last part, but you get the idea.

In the end, itโ€™s not about playing Trump as we know him from headlines and late-night comedy. Sebastian sees this as a chance to dig into the core of someone who was, for better or worse, a massive influence on the world stage. And maybe โ€” just maybe โ€” by the time the credits roll, youโ€™ll see Trump in a way you never expected. Or at least, youโ€™ll be wildly entertained.

So, if youโ€™ve ever wondered what happens when you mix Marvel, method acting, and a whole lot of political hair gel… youโ€™re about to find out!
