Sebastian Stan can thank oodles of noodles for helping him bulk up for his biggest role to date.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe star revealed in the latest issue of Entertainment Weekly that he gorged on ramen and soy sauce to “puff up” his face to play Donald Trump in the upcoming film “The Apprentice.”
“We were getting closer to shooting and hadn’t agreed on the prosthetics,” he told the outlet in promotion of the film, which hit U.S. theaters Friday. “That’s when [director Ali Abbasi] said, ‘Maybe you should start gaining weight in your face because you’re older now, so your cheeks are more hollow, and it’s not Marvel.’ ”
The heartthrob, known for his role as Bucky Barnes in the “Captain America” franchise, said a nutritionist advised him that high levels of sodium would puff up his face: “He was like, ‘What I need you to do is get ramen, add a bunch of soy sauce, and start having that.’ ”
