News: After Playing Trump, Sebastian Stan Got Himself a Swoopy Heartthrob Haircut

GQ

Whether you’re in the process of growing out your hair or it’s just settled into a rut, all guys know the pang of your hair feeling blah. Maybe Sebastian Stan does, too!

Or did, at least. Over the course of his press tour for The Apprentice—a film in which he was unfortunately stuck with Donald Trump’s goose nest of a combover—Stan has helpfully modeled a fix for any and all cut boredom: add a little movement and Hollywood via some volume, length and movement in the front.

For Stan, his current cut combines some ultra-long pieces towards the front of his hair, graduating to the back, and some short sides. At the BFI London Film Festival on Tuesday, Stan gave us yet another glimpse at this excellent hair.

Stan has been rocking this particular flavor for some time now. Earlier appearances have seen it pushed back from the face in a more classic interpretation of the style, but for the last few, the 42-year-old has been letting it all hang out front.

The key is in those longer pieces. Stan’s stylist has done a good job creating volume, by working a mousse or a styling cream into the roots to add lift during its being dried (if we had to guess, via a blow dryer as the hair is brushed up and away from the root with a rounded brush). And then, each of those longer pieces are styled rakishly on either side, swapping a clean parting down the centre for something a little more devil-may-care. The combination of the volume at the roots and the styling over it over the part (AKA not on the natural side of the part that it’s growing from) means that the way it falls over his face is fun and not too try-hard.

It’s a little ’50s movie star, and a little ’90s Brad Pitt at the height of his hair powers. It has movement and height, but it doesn’t feel “done,” and it looks even better when you run your hands through it, and reset everything.

As it goes, this is a haircut that works remarkably well for anyone in the process of growing out their hair. While you let that front and back grow, keep the sides neatly trimmed and tucked behind your ears, until you’re ready for it to be cut into its final form.

Or, just leave it as is. As they say, if it works for Sebastian Stan…

News: The making of ‘The Apprentice,’ in their words

AP News

Few movies this year have made as many headlines as “The Apprentice.”

Ali Abbasi’s film about a young Donald Trump ( Sebastian Stan ) under the tutelage of cutthroat attorney Roy Cohn ( Jeremy Strong ) has caused a stir at the Cannes Film Festival, been threatened with legal action by the Trump campaign and seen its chances for release dwindle before a distributor, Briarcliff Entertainment, was willing to put it into theaters.

Before “The Apprentice” arrives in theaters this weekend, The Associated Press spoke with Abbasi, Stan, Strong and screenwriter Gabe Sherman about how a very unlikely movie came together and how they hope it’s received in the runup to the November election.

News: Sebastian Stan and Jeremy Strong Say Their Trump Movie Is a Tragedy, Not a Mockery

New York Times – The “Apprentice” stars and the director Ali Abbasi say their film is a “humanistic” treatment of the former president and his mentor, Roy Cohn.

It’s natural to feel nervous before presenting your movie at a major film festival. But in late August, when the director Ali Abbasi boarded a flight to the Telluride Film Festival, he wasn’t even sure if his new movie “The Apprentice” — a fictionalized look at the Machiavellian bond between the young Donald J. Trump (Sebastian Stan) and the lawyer and fixer Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong) — would be permitted to play there at all.

“It was really crazy what happened, and I spared Jeremy and Sebastian some of it, but it is a demoralizing feeling,” Abbasi admitted during a recent video call with his two stars. The former president had been threatening legal action against “The Apprentice” since its May debut at the Cannes Film Festival, which chilled distributor interest in the movie for months and made it a controversial prospect for any subsequent festival willing to show it.

“If a movie comes out and people think it’s bad or it’s flawed, you can deal with that,” Abbasi said. “But when it goes into a safe box indefinitely, that was heavy.”

In the end, Trump failed to follow through on his threats, Telluride played the movie without incident and “The Apprentice” ultimately found a distributor in Briarcliff Entertainment, which will release the film on Friday. Still, Strong was perturbed by how many major studios were unwilling to take on the film and potentially incur the presidential candidate’s wrath.

“You think that things could be banned in North Korea or Russia or certain places, but you don’t think that will ever happen here,” Strong said. “It’s a real dark harbinger that it even nearly happened.”

Written by Gabriel Sherman, “The Apprentice” begins with Trump in his 20s as he toils under his real-estate magnate father and aspires to become a momentous figure in his own right. Still, Trump’s ambition exceeds his ability until he meets the savvy Cohn, who takes the young man under his wing and imparts ruthless rules for success that will eventually launch Trump onto the highest stage imaginable.
