<p>"I actually woke up in the middle of the night at 4:00, and was like, Oh, okay, there's an hour and a half. I fell asleep again, and then I got a call from my publicist," he said. Since then, "I've been sending a lot of pictures to my mom."</p>

<p>In <i>The Apprentice, </i>director Ali Abbasi's new movie<i>, </i>Sebastian Stan portrays Donald Trump <em>(opening picture) i</em>n the 1970s and 1980s as he aspires to become a real estate mogul in New York.
