As a lifestyle expert with years of experience under my belt, I must commend Sebastian Stan for his commitment to his craft in transforming into Donald Trump for “The Apprentice.” The unique approach he took, eschewing traditional prosthetics and instead relying on a nutritionist’s unusual advice to gain bloating in his face, is nothing short of inspiring.
In the forthcoming biographical drama “The Apprentice,” directed by Ali Abbassi, Sebastian Stan portrays Donald Trump, the ex-US President. Unlike traditional methods using prosthetics for the puffed-up look, Stan opted for a unique approach – he consulted with a nutritionist who suggested an unusual mix of food items to achieve the desired appearance.
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Stan revealed Abbassi’s request for him to gain face fat to play Trump. “You’re older now, so your cheeks are more hollow, and it’s not Marvel,” the actor recalled Abbassi’s quip with a laugh. “So I called a nutritionist who I worked with before, and I said, ‘How do I quickly get bloating in my face.'”
Due to Trump’s abstinence from alcohol, they found no way to help him gain weight through liquids. Reflecting on this, his nutritionist came up with an unconventional solution. He suggested the actor portraying Pam and Tommy should consume ramen regularly, drown it in soy sauce packets, and eat as much as possible. “You’ll be getting a lot of salt this way,” he recalled his nutritionist saying.
Stan revealed that finalizing his physical makeover was a huge task and that his debate with Abbassi continued right up to the film’s production. They knew that the Captain America actor did not resemble the former president from some angles but refused to lean excessively on prosthetics.
Stan explained that he preferred minimizing prosthetics in the character’s portrayal, as he aimed for the core or essence rather than a complete likeness. Happily, the director shared this perspective and the “less is more” philosophy was adopted, although it wasn’t the initial plan from the start.
Initially, I found myself reluctant to minimize the use of prosthetics for the character and even contemplated handing over the role to someone else, as I had developed a fleeting fascination with how closely the character resembled Trump in reality. “I didn’t want the portrayal to be reminiscent of those historical dramas that require viewers to suspend their disbelief,” I clarified.
How did the idea eventually become his choice? Abbassi discovered that the abilities he initially envisioned weren’t quite fitting due to the unique circumstances of the biopic. “Donald Trump is almost like a walking, living emblem,” he pointed out. “So if you exaggerate slightly or get too close, it veers towards mockery or parody, much like Saturday Night Live,” the director clarified. Thus, a more organic transformation seemed most fitting for the project.
The Apprentice will be released in theaters on October 17.
