Sebastian Stan Reflects on Playing Donald Trump and Expresses Concerns About Societal Trends

Sebastian Stan, known for his role as the Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, attended the Cannes Film Festival to promote his new film, 'Fjord.' However, discussions inevitably turned to his previous portrayal of Donald Trump in the film 'The Apprentice,' which premiered at Cannes before Trump's second presidential election.

Stan stated that he is 'still purging' from the experience of playing Trump. When asked about how his understanding of the former president has changed, Stan expressed serious concerns about the direction society is heading. He pointed to the consolidation of media, censorship, and ongoing legal threats as worrying trends.

In 'Fjord,' Stan plays a Romanian Christian conservative, a stark contrast to his role as Trump. The film explores themes of clashing values between traditional and progressive societies, raising questions about imposing values on others.

Stan also shared personal reflections on his upbringing, having moved from Romania to Vienna and eventually to the United States. He emphasized the importance of remaining honest and adhering to one's values in a world grappling with discrimination.

He stated it's "not a laughing matter" and expressed serious concerns about the current state of society.

It follows an immigrant Romanian family in Norway facing scrutiny from the local judicial system.
