Fans of Sebastian Stan were forced to do a double take after his transformation into Donald Trump was unveiled.
The actor, known for his roles in Marvel. Pam and Tommy, and Gossip Girl, is set to take on the role of the former President at the beginning of his controversial career.
He will be starring in The Apprentice opposite Jeremy Strong as lawyer Roy Cohn, while Maria Bakalova will be portraying his first wife, Ivana Trump.
Filming is currently taking place in Canada, with new pictures showing the 41-year-old looking unrecognizable as he hit the streets as the Republican businessman.
He could be seen donning a brown suit and patterned tie for the outing, covering up in a black overcoat and shiny shoes.

Another image showed the Winter Soldier favorite looking a little more low-key in a blue shirt and black trousers – with one leg noticeably higher.
It is unclear when the Apprentice will be hitting the big screen, but Deadline reports that it will explore the former TV host’s power and ambition concerning his business exploits in the 70s and 80s, in a world of corruption and deceit.
The outlet teased that the movie will be a ‘mentor-protégé’ tale that ‘charts the origins of a major American dynasty’.
The title of the biopic refers to his TV show from the early noughties, which he hosted until he was fired in 2015.

A statement from NBC bosses confirmed at the time that he was let go over ‘derogatory statements regarding immigrants’ during his Presidential run, after which he was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
However, despite Stan jumping head first into the role, it is clear that fans have been left less than impressed by the upcoming project.
Flocking to Reddit to discuss the role, one fumed: ‘Never getting over how much I hate this.’
‘No exaggeration, I feel nauseated,’ another said, as others complained that they had got the ‘ick’ from the Hollywood star over his efforts.

‘Knowing that this is actually being made makes me angrier and more nauseous than expected,’ a follower replied.
‘I’ve enjoyed a lot of Sebastian’s work but I’m gonna ignore this like I did the Pam and Tommy stuff. Sorry! [sic],’ a Reddit user posted.
‘All of this is so unsettling! As is his possible reelection! I feel like I am in a parallel universe! We have learned nothing since 2016,’ a furious commenter added.
‘I am just very hopeful this will be extremely critical of him and will hurt his chances of getting back into the White House.’
