Two years after his Donald Trump biopic “The Apprentice” premiered at Cannes, Sebastian Stan reflected on the role during the press conference for his new movie “Fjord,” saying America is “in a really, really bad place.”

When the actor was asked his thoughts on “The Apprentice” — which premiered just before the 2024 election — now that Trump has been in office again for over a year, journalists in the room erupted into nervous laughter. But Stan responded: “It’s just not a laughing matter, to be honest. It isn’t.”
