HBO paid a large amount of money to digitally remove a small President Trump figurine from every frame it appeared in during the first season of the finance drama Industry. This was revealed by stars Ken Leung and Myha’la Herrold, who said the network spent heavily to make sure this detail never made it to air.
Leung, who plays an American finance worker in the London market, admitted he was the one who brought the prop onto set. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he had placed the small Trump figurine on top of his character’s Bloomberg monitors during Season 1. Both he and Herrold believe their characters lean conservative, which is why the figurine felt like a fitting choice for the world they portray.
