Trump campaign attacks Cannes film ‘The Apprentice’

CANNES, France — Donald Trump’s re-election campaign called The Apprentice, a film about the former U.S. president in the 1980s, “pure fiction” and vowed legal action following its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival.

Steven Cheung, Trump campaign spokesperson, said in a statement that the Trump team will be file a lawsuit “to address the blatantly false assertions from these pretend filmmakers.”

“This garbage is pure fiction which sensationalizes lies that have been long debunked,” Cheung said.

The Apprentice, which premiered Monday in Cannes, stars Sebastian Stan as Trump. The central relationship of the movie is between Trump and Roy Cohn (Jeremy Strong), the defense attorney who was chief counsel to Joseph McCarthy’s 1950s Senate investigations of suspected communists.

In the film, directed by the Iranian Danish filmmaker Ali Abbasi, Cohn is depicted as a longtime mentor to Trump, coaching him in the ruthlessness of New York City politics and business. Early on, Cohn aided the Trump Organization when it was being sued by the federal government for racial discrimination in housing.

The Apprentice, which is labeled as inspired by true events, portrays Trump’s dealings with Cohn as a Faustian bargain that guided his rise as a businessman and, later, as a politician. Stan’s Trump is initially a more naive real estate striver, soon transformed by Cohn’s education.

After the premiere, Abbasi addressed the Cannes audience, saying “there is no nice metaphorical way to deal with the rising wave of fascism.”

“The good people have been quiet for too long,” he said. “So I think it’s time to make movies relevant. It’s time to make movies political again.”

Jason Momoa confirms Adria Arjona romance

Jason Momoa is officially off the market.

The Aquaman star has gone Instagram official with his latest love interest: Adria Arjona.

Snapshots from a trip to Japan with the 32-year-old Hit Man actress by his side were shared on social media on Monday.

“Japan, you are a dream come true you blew my mind,” he wrote in the post, tagging Arjona’s Instagram account. “We’re so thankful for everyone who opened their homes, making memories with new friends and old friends, sharing another amazing adventure with mi amor.

“ON THE ROAM motorcycles and mayhem. All my aloha j,” the 44-year-old added.

Earlier in the month, Momoa — who was the subject of an online petition to become People’s “Sexiest Man Alive” last year — hinted that he was “very much in a relationship” during Basingstoke Comic Con in the U.K.

“You’ll find out very soon,” he teased fans at the time. “I’ve been in a relationship for a while.”

The Puerto Rican beauty starred alongside Momoa in the 2021 Netflix flick Sweet Girl, while he was still legally married to Lisa Bonet.

After 13 years together, the 56-year-old Cosby Show star and the hunky Hawaiian heartthrob were married in October, 2017. The couple are the parents of daughter Lola, 16, and son Nakoa-Wolf, 15.
