Jeremy Strong believes ‘The Apprentice’ has become “more of a horror movie” since Donald Trump returned as US president.

The ‘Succession’ actor played lawyer Roy Cohn in Flick, who examined Trump’s (Sebastian Stan) business utilization in New York City during the 1970s and 1980s and admits that the movie has been more haunted since Trump was re -elected The White House last year.

Jeremy said to the deadline: “I think the movie in connection with the recent events has become more and more of a horror movie for me. And that’s like Roy Cohn said and I think I said in the movie said He: ‘This is a nation of men, not promise’.

“He is the ultimate machiavellian in the sense that Machiavelli said ‘the ends justify the means’.”

He added: “Then in the film we see Roy Cohn willing to do everything in the name of democracy, which is a kind of Orwellian use of the word ‘democracy’ in the way we hear the Orwellian use of the words ‘freedom’ and ‘democracy’ and ‘Justice’, this kind of reverse meanings.

“It’s really amazing to look at the seeds of this ideology in the relationship between these two men during the time the film covers.”

Strong explained that he tried to “lose” himself in the role of Cohn – which he has been nominated for the best supportive actor Oscar.

The 46-year-old star said, “I actually have no desire to preserve myself. I think, for better or for worse, my real desire is to lose me completely in it and disappear in it. So depending on the material goes You into these lives for a while and submerged yourself.

“And I guess it’s the joy of it to be completely lost by exploring a psyche and a persona that is not your own until the point it takes over and the kind possess you. And at the same time it is a game.

“And I love that Roy was also a pretty happy guy. He’s dark. You look at him and you look something monstrous and you see the heart of darkness. But from inside him he actually had a huge elan and vitality.

“He loved being Roy Cohn with his Rolls Royce and lunch at Le Cirque. He loved it. So it wasn’t as heavy as one might think.”
