Sebastian Stan Talks Getting Into the Skin of a Psychopath
The Fresh actor shares his thoughts on playing a cannibal, doing a comedy, and working opposite strong female leads.
You've seen him as the charming rogue in Gossip Girl, the face behind Marvel's Bucky Barnes, and in the tattooed skin of Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, but Sebastian Stan's latest role is Steve, the handsome "psychopath" looking for love in Hulu's new film Fresh. Thinking back on his filmography, Stan says he "wouldn't want to be any of the characters" he's played (his past roles include Tonya Harding's ex-husband/convicted criminal Jeff Gillooly, a CIA agent-turned-mole, and a dirty cop, to name a few), but the Pam & Tommy star would like to brighten things up and do a comedy in the future—specifically name-dropping Judd Apatow as a wish-list director. Stan has also always enjoyed rom-coms, specifically Hugh Grant's work in Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral. While talking about his favorite movies, L'OFFICIEL Hommes's Spring 2022 cover star walks us through the highlights of his career and where he'd like to see it go next.
