Sebastian Stan Stars in A24's A Different Man

Sebastian Stan stars in A24's film 'A Different Man,' where he portrays Edward, a character with neurofibromatosis who undergoes a radical transformation through medical treatment. Makeup artist Mike Marino crafted an intricate and uncomfortable prosthetic look for Stan, involving extensive preparation and technology, to authentically depict the character's struggles with identity. In addition, Stan is set to play Donald Trump in the film 'The Apprentice,' where he argues that Trump is more intelligent than commonly perceived, preparing by studying numerous videos of Trump.
