THR – In front of an audience at the Miami Film Festival’s GEMS event, the star of two of 2024’s most widely discussed and debated films reflected on his life and career.
Sebastian Stan, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, which was recorded in front of an audience at the Miami Film Festival GEMS event last week, is one of the top young actors in Hollywood. Though he’s only 42, he has been acting on screens big and small for more than 20 years. He has been a part of giant blockbusters (he plays Bucky Barnes in Marvel’s superhero movies) and prestige projects (I, Tonya on film and Pam & Tommy on TV). And he has received Emmy, Golden Globe and Critics Choice award noms. But he has never had a year as big as his 2024.
This year, Stan is in the running for a best actor Oscar nomination for not one but two performances: as Edward, an aspiring actor afflicted with the craniofacial condition neurofibromatosis who undergoes groundbreaking facial reconstructive surgery, in Aaron Schimberg’s A Different Man, for which he was awarded the Berlin International Film Festival’s best actor prize; and as Donald Trump, a young businessman in the 1970s and 1980s learning the ropes from, and then abandoning, his mentor, Roy Cohn, in Ali Abbasi’s The Apprentice.
Over the course of our conversation, Stan, who was born in Romania, reflects on coming to America with his mother at the age of 12 and discussing the American dream; breaking in to the business on TV’s Gossip Girl, in the 2007 Broadway production of Talk Radio and in Jonathan Demme’s 2008 film Rachel Getting Married; big auditions that didn’t pan out, including one for the part of Captain America, which led to him being cast as Bucky Barnes; what he learned acting opposite the likes of Margot Robbie, Nicole Kidman and Meryl Streep; how he came to and navigated the two tricky parts he played in 2024 films; what led him to the conclusion that Trump is a danger to America; plus more.

“I have these very vivid memories,” says 42-year-old actor Sebastian Stan of growing up in Romania during the 1989 revolution.
“One of them being this Dacia car, driving by with screaming people holding the flag. The flag had a hole in the middle, which they had cut out — [erasing] the communist symbol at the time. And then I remember being on my couch with my mom and my grandmother and neighbors, watching Ceausescu be shot.”
What propelled them was the “obsession” Eastern Europeans had with the American Dream. “All I ever heard about was America: the land of the free, the land of opportunity,” says Stan, who at 8, moved with his mother — a pianist, who named him after composer Johann Sebastian Bach — to Vienna before heading to the U.S.
“I remember coming to this country when I was 12 with my mom and seeing the big Twin Towers of New York City and feeling overwhelmed,” Stan says. “And my mom looking at me and saying: “Now you have a chance to become someone.”

On camera and off, Sebastian Stan is always aware of what he is wearing, whether he’s suited up as the Winter Soldier in Captain America or sporting jeans and a T-shirt on a day off. The actor— who stars in and is winning over buzz for his transformative performances in A Different Man and The Apprentice—represented Thom Browne at the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards on October 28 in New York City at the American Museum of Natural History. For the event, Stan wore a full Thom Browne look: a classic ticket pocket tuxedo with self-tipping in black, 3-ply mohair; a knit vest in black cashmere; a classic button-up shirt in white oxford; a necktie in black silk faille; and penny loafers in black patent leather.
In A Different Man, Stan plays an aspiring actor with neurofibromatosis who has facial reconstructive surgery that dramatically alters his appearance. In The Apprentice, Stan plays former President Donald Trump in a film that follows his rise to power, focusing on his mentor-mentee relationship with lawyer Roy Cohn, portrayed by Jeremy Strong from Succession. Stan received critical acclaim for his performances in both films, and is now a likely contender for the upcoming awards season.
At the CFDAs, Stan told L’OFFICIEL about his look for the night, his connection to Thom Browne, and how clothing and costumes impact his performances. Read on for the interview.

Beloved for Captain America, I, Tonya, and his recent Emmy-nominated role in Pam & Tommy, Stan reflects on a career shaped by diverse characters. Now, with A Different Man and The Apprentice, he’s exploring deep questions about identity, ambition, and the complexities of portraying one of America’s most influential (and controversial) men, Donald Trump.
The first time Sebastian Stan tried acting, he hated it. At 9 or 10 years old, he played a Romanian orphan in an Austrian film called 71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance (1994). Between the waiting around, night shoots, and general pressure-cooker energy, the whole experience had been pretty anxiety-inducing. “I think the idea of a set was just really terrifying,” he recalls. The 42-year-old mainstay admits to being a Leo, but a rather reluctant one, he says, not that extroverted or hypersocial. “I know my mom always thought I was creative simply because I would impersonate the people in our family, or birds or whatever I would see around me.” Nowadays, when he does speak, it’s with the compelling ease of someone who’s spent equal time commanding impressive rooms and in their own head trying to crack the great questions of the world – sounding off passionately about the perils of social media (“there’s so much noise in today’s world”) or the last incredible film he watched (Sing Sing and it was “pure heart”).
