The 42-year-old actor, who plays a young version of the former president in the new movie, attended the premiere at the BFI London Film Festival on Tuesday (October 15) in London, England.
Sebastian was joined by co-stars Maria Bakalova and Jeremy Strong, as well as director Ali Abbasi.

“I don’t know, but what I do hope is that people, regardless of their opinion, are curious enough to try to dig deeper. Because I think we’re living in a world where it’s so easy to be handed an opinion everywhere you turn. And I know a lot of people love social media, and that’s where they go for information and for things. You’re being told what to think. You’re being told what to do,” Sebastian told THR.
He continued, “If you have any inkling of interest, go and really ask yourself: ‘Who is this man? Do you really know? Do you really trust this person to lead a country?’ He’s been trying to censor this movie, and at the same time, he claims that he acknowledges free speech … I can’t think of anything more hypocritical. So at the end of the day, it’s about him as a character. Forget the politics and just go in there and use your instinct and ask yourself: Do you trust this man? That’s what the movie is about.”
The movie is now playing in U.S. theaters. Watch the trailer for the movie!
