People Are Emotional Over One Of Sebastian Stan’s 11-Year-Old Instagram Posts After His Oscar Nomination – BuzzFeed

The best of the internet, delivered straight to your inbox!Meanwhile, Sebastian — who moved to New York from Romania when he was 12 — called his Oscar nomination “the American Dream.”BuzzFeed StaffEarlier this month, Sebastian won a Best Actor Golden Globe for his performance in A Different Man. Interestingly, though, he has actually been nominated for his other 2024 movie, The Apprentice, at the Oscars.For reference, Trump was very vocally against the film being made, and his attorneys reportedly issued a cease-and-desist letter to try and block the film’s release due to the negative way that he is portrayed in it. Trump himself described The Apprentice as “a cheap, defamatory, and politically disgusting hatchet job” and called everybody involved in the project “human scum,” and Sebastian previously revealed that he had faced repercussions from his industry peers for starring in it. Back in November, Sebastian said that he was forced to drop out of Variety’s esteemed Actors on Actors series after all of the other actors taking part refused to be paired with him.While he noted at the time that it most likely would have been the stars’ publicists denying the pairing, Sebastian also revealed that multiple people in the industry have privately praised him for the film but refused to show their support for it publicly. In September 2014, Sebastian — who moved to New York from Romania when he was 12 — shared a photo from his high school yearbook that showed him as a baby being held by his mom.Notably, the photo’s yearbook caption reads: “Most likely to be in the bathroom fixing his hair when he receives his first Oscar.”“Well…yeah,” Sebastian simply captioned the post at the time, but his fans believe that the post has suddenly taken on a whole new meaning. And this tweet quickly racked up thousands of likes and retweets from other people eager to share their joy for Sebastian’s career high. The original Instagram post has also been flooded with new comments from Sebastian’s followers, with one person writing: “You made it 😭😭😭😭”“Congrats you made it 🥹💜,” another user echoed, while somebody else noted: “this aged well.”“I can’t believe I’m in Romania while receiving this news,” he began. “It’s surreal. I’m stunned. I’m speechless. I’m humbled. I guess this is what they mean by the American Dream. I’m so grateful to everyone who made the impossible, possible. Thank you to the Academy for this brave recognition.”
