Sebastian Stan, who plays Donald Trump in Ali Abbasi's notable film "The Apprentice", says that the film scares his colleagues in Hollywood, writes The Guardian.

When the trade magazine Variety was to arrange a conversation where actors interview each other, no one wanted to participate alongside Sebastian Stan.

I couldn't find another actor who wanted to do it, they were too afraid to come and talk about this film, so I couldn't do it, says Stan during a stage conversation together with director Ali Abbasi.

Variety's editor Ramin Setoodeh confirms to People that Sebastian Stan's claims are true.

Other actors didn't want to participate with him, they didn't want to talk about Donald Trump, he says.

Sebastian Stan sees the fear of association as ominous when it comes to the film industry's interactions with the incoming president.
