During a post-screening Q&A at Comic-Con International last night, Snowden director and co-writer Oliver Stone—a man who's worked with such legendary Oscar-winning actors as Anthony Hopkins, Michael Douglas, and Al Pacino—talked about directing one of the most verbose and drama-prone performers in the world: Donald Trump.
The 69-year-old filmmaker noted that he filmed a cameo featuring Trump for the 2010 film Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps, and it sounds like it was kind of a yuge ordeal. "I swear to God this is true—and I love the man, in a weird way—but after every take, he jumped up and said, 'Wasn't that great?'" Stone recalled. "I said, "Honestly? No!' [His] confidence is unbelievable—that’s what’s allowing him to run. I’d say, 'Donald, I think it’s great, but I think we can just do a little better here, or do this.' And we tried like nine takes."
Though Trump's storied acting career includes stints in such films as Home Alone 2: Lost in New York and Zoolander—not to mention a cameo as "Guy Awkwardly Looking at Buildings" in the 1989 Bobby Brown video "On Our Own"—his Money Never Sleeps turn was ultimately cut from the final film. Sad!
