Two years after “The Apprentice” premiered at Cannes, Sebastian Stan reflected on the film during the press conference for his new movie “Fjord,” saying America is “in a really, really bad place.”
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 a year. Journalists in the room erupted into nervous laughter, to which Stan responded: “It’s not a laughing matter, to be honest. It isn’t.”
Stan continued, “I think we’re in a really, really bad place. I really do. And to be honest with you, when you’re looking at what’s happening, right — if we’re talking about the consolidation of the media, censorship, threats, the supposed lawsuits that seemingly never end but don’t actually go anywhere. You know, the writing was on the wall. We encountered all that with the movie. To the point that we were, three days before the festival, unsure if the movie was going to play the festival. So maybe people are paying attention more to that film, I think it will stand the test of time for that. But we went through all of it, right before Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert and so on. So, I wish it wasn’t like that.”
