The Apprentice
Ali Abbasi's The Apprentice was one of last year's most controversial movies.
The Golden Globe-winning actor said he wanted to "offer further perspective on something we're all inevitably having to deal with" through the film.
"We couldn’t get past the publicists," the star of The Apprentice has claimed. Variety has released its full lineup for this year's Actors on Actors series.
The Emmy nominee, who portrays a young Donald Trump in the new movie, said the former president has "muddled" up the truth – and "ain't caring about your situation".
“I’m aware it is one of the main chapters of my life, but I don’t miss it.”
The former US president described the team behind The Apprentice as "human scum".
Ali Abbasi’s new film The Apprentice centres around Donald Trump as a younger man.
Ramin Setoodeh said Trump even seemed to think he still had foreign policy powers after leaving office.
