Stan talked about how he gained weight to play Trump in the film. He added, “There wasn’t enough time to gain weight. The prosthetic test failed really miserably. Not only that but two weeks later, director Ali says, ‘Basically, I cast a woman for the role of Trump. Was going to do. And I’m looking at him, ‘Why are you telling me two weeks before I die!’

Stan said he ate a lot of ramen and drank a lot of Coca-Cola to quickly gain weight for the role of Trump. “I was having panic attacks every night. I am a hypochondriac. I get my blood drawn every January or whatever. My LDL levels, cholesterol had gone up,” Stan said.

He also recounted an incident in which he and Ali quietly went to Trump Tower to shoot The Apprentice. Someone there recognized him, not as the actor who played Trump, but as “that Marvel guy.” Stan played the role of Bucky Rogers aka The Winter Soldier in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Stan revealed that she received the most recognition for her role in the musical miniseries Daisy Jones and the Six.

The Apprentice is set in the 1970s and 1980s, and explores Donald Trump’s past as a real estate tycoon in New York City. Written by Gabriel Sherman, The Apprentice also stars Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn and Maria Bakalova as Trump’s late ex-wife Ivana Trump. While the film was released in US theaters in October, its release in India was blocked by the Central Board of Film Certification, which demanded certain changes and removal of explicit scenes. Ali Abbasi expressed disappointment at the blockage and said India’s censorship issues needed a “vaccine”.
