As a seasoned gamer with a deep appreciation for both cinema and superheroes, I must say that Sebastian Stan‘s transformation for his role in “The Apprentice” is nothing short of remarkable. Having followed his career since his days as Bucky Barnes in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, it’s fascinating to witness the versatility he brings to each character he portrays.
Acting can be a profoundly transformative experience, both literally and metaphorically. Actor Sebastian Stan can attest to this reality from two distinct perspectives, as his 2024 movie schedule involves him metamorphosing into a real-life chameleon in both “A Different Man” and “The Apprentice.” In the context of the Donald Trump historical drama, the transformation was quite extensive. The man who is set to reprise the role of Bucky Barnes in the upcoming MCU film “Thunderbolts” underwent a rapid weight gain to portray The Donald.
The actor discussed this topic in a chat with Variety, acting as a representative for two upcoming films set to be unveiled to the public within the next month. During the talk about the anticipation building up before the release of The Apprentice, Stan revealed that when director Ali Abbasi was ready to start filming the project that had been in development for a long time, he asked the actor from Captain America how much weight gain he could feasibly accomplish.
Responding to that question in the interview, Sebastian Stan had this answer to offer:
You’d be surprised. You can gain a lot of weight in two months.
During his two-month training period on The Apprentice, the contestant managed to add 15 lbs to his frame. While this might not seem remarkable next to Mark Wahlberg’s weight gain for Father Stu, it’s still quite astonishing considering the transformation from a superhero-like figure to that of a well-known real estate tycoon turned former president.
Here’s a different way of saying it: Could you describe what the final outcome appears like? In the latest teaser for The Apprentice, there are numerous glimpses of Sebastian Stan as Donald Trump. However, for this article, I will provide an image from one such scene that’s displayed below.
It’s my hope that for Mr. Stan’s comfort, he didn’t need to undergo a diet as distressing as Mark Wahlberg’s challenging one for the film “Father Stu”. Although such a diet helped Wahlberg safely gain weight for his role, I imagine there have been advancements in the years since that production, offering a more considerate and palatable meal plan that Sebastian Stan might have utilized instead.
As a die-hard fan, I’m confidently expecting the media tour for “The Apprentice” to delve into that specific topic. Given that filming for this potential award-winning project concluded nearly a month prior to “Thunderbolts*” kicking off production, it seems inevitable that this will be a hot topic during interviews.
leading up to the domestic theater release of “The Apprentice” on October 11th, fans of Sebastian Stan can catch him first in “A Different Man”, which premieres this weekend in limited release. Before the highly-anticipated “Thunderbolts” hits the multiplex, a Disney+ subscription offers a chance to reconnect with James Buchanan Barnes, giving you the metaphorical ride on the joyful motorcycle prior to that event.
