Actor Sebastian Stan has opened up about the intense preparation that went into playing a young Donald Trump in the upcoming film 'The Apprentice'. The film, which delves into Trump’s rise in New York's cutthroat real estate world, is already being touted as one of 2024’s most anticipated non-biopics.
Stan, who portrays Trump during his early years, described the all-consuming nature of stepping into the role. “Playing real people requires a technical approach that’s absolutely essential—you have to immerse yourself in them constantly,” Stan explained. “Whenever I was in the car, walking, shopping, or even with family or friends, I was listening to him and watching him non-stop. I had footage playing over and over. For me, there’s no way of embodying someone until it becomes part of every moment.”
