Wild reason Sebastian Stan claims A-list stars are “afraid’ to be seen with him

Hollywood star Sebastian Stan has revealed the surprising fallout of his decision to play Donald Trump in controversial biopic The Apprentice.

Hollywood star Sebastian Stan has revealed the wild fallout of his role as Donald Trump in the movie The Apprentice.

Stan stars as Trump in a controversial biopic about the president-elect, which focuses on his early days as a real estate tycoon.

While the film is considered an awards season contender, sadly for Stan he’s been finding it difficult to get the chance to promote the film in Hollywood.

The actor has claimed that other Hollywood stars are afraid to even be seen with him out of fear of having to discuss Trump in public.

During a recent Q&A about the film in Los Angeles, alongside director Ali Abbas, the Marvel star said that he was unable to take part in Variety’s “Actors on Actors” series due to others being unwilling to talk about Trump.

“I couldn’t find another actor to do it with me, because they were too afraid to go and talk about this movie. So I couldn’t do it,” explained the 42-year-old.

Stan added: “You know, I’ve got to do a lot of great things, and that’s not pointing at anyone specific. It was … we couldn’t get past the publicists or the people representing them, because [they were] too afraid to talk about this movie.”

“And it’s like, that’s when I think we lose the situation,” he continued. “Because if it really becomes like that – fear or that discomfort to talk about this – then we’re really going to have a problem.”

Trump previously called everyone involved in the controversial film “human scum” after it emerged that it features a scene where he rapes his ex-wife, Ivanka Trump.

In a longwinded rant on his much-maligned social media platform, Trump called the film “classless” and said he hopes that it fails financially.

“A FAKE and CLASSLESS movie written about me, called, The Apprentice (Do they even have the rights to use that name without approval?), will hopefully ‘bomb.’ It’s a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job, put out right before the 2024 Presidential Election, to try and hurt the greatest political movement in the history of our country.”
