'The Apprentice' Actor Sebastian Stan Unloads On Trump's Free Speech Hypocrisy
HuffPost
The actor, who stars as Donald Trump in the film, slammed the former president after he attacked the "FAKE and CLASSLESS movie."
Sebastian Stan, who stars as Donald Trump in the new Ali Abbasi-directed drama “The Apprentice,” called out the GOP nominee for his hypocrisy after he slammed the movie on his Truth Social platform earlier this week.
“He’s been trying to censor this movie, and at the same time, he claims that he acknowledges free speech ... I can’t think of anything more hypocritical,” the actor told The Hollywood Reporter at the BFI London Film Festival premiere Tuesday.
In May, the former president’s attorneys reportedly sent a cease-and-desist letter to those behind the film, which opened in U.S. theaters last week and looks at Trump’s time as a real estate developer in the ’70s and ’80s as well as his relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong).
The film’s scenes depict the former president raping his then-wife Ivana Trump (Maria Bakalova), redlining his buildings and neglecting his brother Fred Trump Jr. (Charlie Carrick) as he battles alcoholism prior to his 1981 death.
Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung threatened to sue over the film in May as he slammed it as “election interference” and “pure fiction,” rebuttals which the former president echoed this week. No lawsuit has been filled.
