He hailed his portrayal of Edward in the movie, noting, "Just watching your eyes, watching you react, watching you taking in what's happening as people are loving on him and then wanting him to take over the role, and just watching that rage come out of you."

He noted Stans' "face changes a lot," explaining that the actor's unique ability to "look absolutely handsome and leading-man gorgeous in one frame and f***ing hideous in the next. It's a gift, man."

The Apprentice actor added, "I'm like, 'Uh, yeah, everything's great. Thank you so much.' And she goes, you know, 'I have to tell you something, but don't get upset.' I'm like, 'What's the problem?' I'm already in an anxious place."
 
Sebastian Stan shared how his mother told him that she knows he's an actor but suggested that he might want to "express a little less," pointing out that the lines on his forehead were becoming noticeable. He laughed as he recalled her saying, "Get some moisturizer, she was like, be a little less intense with your face."
