The streaming service Netflix has taken on the film adaptation of Donald Pollock’s novel “The Devil Is Forever” and has recruited a truly impressive cast for the filming. Tom Holland, Bill Skarsgård, Robert Pattinson - it's obvious that this project will be a serious competitor to Dune and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, which also feature the best of the best. The icing on the cake is that Winter Soldier Sebastian Stan, who in just a few years has become one of the most successful dramatic actors in Hollywood, will also be on set. Today we talk about how perseverance, confidence and hard work helped him win the attention of millions of fans around the world.
Managed to live in many countries
Nowadays, Stan mostly spends his time in New York, although he was born in Romania. Together with their family, they lived there until the boy was 8 years old, and then moved to Vienna. A few more years later, when Sebastian began receiving offers for filming, he had to live in New York, but for some filming he still returned to Europe. Now he speaks fluently not only English, but also Romanian, which he even used from time to time in his films.
Sebastian Stan, wife
34-year-old American actor Sebastian Stan is of Romanian origin. He moved to the United States with his pianist mother, who married an American, at the age of 8 and settled down well in his second homeland. Already in 1990, he made his film debut in the popular TV series “Law and Order,” where he played a young boy. The breakthrough of Sebastian, who had matured and received an acting education, was the role of Carter Bazen in the series “Gossip Girl”, and after he played Andrew in the acclaimed thriller “Black Swan”, people started talking about him. Sebastian's success was achieved by his participation in the blockbuster "The First Avenger", which made good box office receipts. Now the number of fans of the actor has increased exponentially and they want to know everything about their idol, from who Sebastian Stan’s wife is to his interests and hobbies.
To the delight of the female half of fans, it is known that Sebastian is still not married. He had many girlfriends, but he did not yet want to legally seal his relationship with any of them. Perhaps he just hasn’t “walked the walk” yet or simply doubts that he’s ready for marriage. Attractive and talented, Stan, no doubt, likes girls and does not deny himself the pleasure of having a girlfriend, although his affection is not enough for a long-term union. While filming the TV series Gossip Girl, he appeared in public with his colleague on the set, actress Leighton Meester. They looked really good together and even posted on Facebook about their engagement. However, this stormy affair, which lasted about a year, according to eyewitnesses, quickly ended.
During the filming of the series “Once Upon a Time,” rumors appeared about Sebastian’s romantic relationship with actress Jennifer Morrison and history repeated itself, changing only the name of the heroine: again a mad passion for each other, common interests and habits, complete agreement, though without an engagement, and then - separation after the release of the last episodes of the common film. All this is slightly reminiscent of an advertising campaign to revive interest in a film project or an individual actor, prepared by skillful PR people. The story may well be true: such short relationships are now common among actors. Then there were unconfirmed rumors about Stan’s short-term relationship with Ashley Greene and his confession of his love for Diana Agron, the star of the thriller “I Am Number Four,” with whom he did not get to play together.
Sebastian's last lover was Russian actress Margarita Levieva. Selected for the role of the new Bond girl, Margarita charmed the producers, but did not audition in 2012. She is a Leningrader who emigrated with her parents to the USA in 1991 and is making very noticeable progress in cinema. Having met at a party, the young people liked each other and, according to rumors, were together throughout 2015. Information about the separation of Sebastian and Margarita has not yet appeared, but there are photographs of their walks around New York in November 2016. Whether this means that the Russian beauty can become the wife of Sebastian Stan is too early to say: only time will tell, but they look good together.
His interest in acting began in his youth
Stan's passion for acting began long before he landed his first film role. While still at school, he took part in school productions, including Little Shop of Horrors and West Side Story. In the summer, he went to specialized camps, where he also trained to speak and honed his speech. The more he enjoyed the process, the quicker it became clear that he had already made his career choice.
He has an excellent education
Talent, appearance, charisma - it is not surprising that Sebastian quickly achieved success in Hollywood. Nevertheless, the roles did not fall on his head - first of all, he went a long way to getting a quality education. After graduating from high school, Sebastian attended Rutgers University and received a bachelor's degree in acting.
While his studies were ongoing, he interned at the most famous British theater - Shakespeare's Globe in London. And in between performances, he worked as a doorman at a cinema.
I worked at Cinema 6 in New York, New York. I sold popcorn and picked up trash from seats. And then he went to work at H&M.
Sebastian has an unusual approach to finding work: he often goes to auditions not so much to get a role, but to build a relationship with the director. From the very beginning, he tried to “get familiar” with famous artists, so that in new paintings they would immediately call him. It is thanks to this persistence that Sebastian has been able to play so many different roles.
He has a personal list of directors he would particularly like to work with - Quentin Tarantino and Martin Scorsese.
Childhood and youth
Sebastian Stan was born on August 13, 1982 in the Romanian city of Constanta. When the future Hollywood star was barely 8 years old, the actor’s mother, a professional pianist, was invited to work in Vienna. So Stan ended up in Austria, where he lived for 4 years.
After the parents’ divorce, the mother got married for the second time (at that time the boy was 12 years old), and the whole family, including the child’s stepfather, moved to the USA. It is known that the new relative of the star of the Avengers film series worked as the director of a private school located in Rockland (New York), where Stan studied for a couple of years.
It is also worth noting that Sebastian quickly settled into his new place, becoming a recognizable artist in the school amateur theater. As a child, the talented guy played in the production of “Cyrano de Bergerac” based on the play by Edmond Rostand, as well as in the plays “Harvey”, “Western Story” and “Little Shop of Horrors”.

Sebastian Stan with long hair
In a conversation with media representatives, the man often recalled stage acting lessons in a specialized theater camp for gifted children, to which the young actor’s parents sent him every year.
When Stan went on stage, he gave it his all. The young man did this in order to get a standing ovation from the teaching staff at the end of classes. Already at that time, Sebastian dreamed of fame. This desire for universal recognition is characteristic of Leo, the zodiac sign under which the future artist was born.
After receiving a certificate of secondary education, the hardworking guy carefully studied the programs of a number of higher educational institutions. As a result, he chose Rutgers University, located in New Brunswick (New Jersey).
Having received a bachelor's degree in 2005, the aspiring actor went on a one-year internship in London, ending up in the famous brainchild of William Shakespeare - the Globe Theater.
He met with his co-stars
While many people believe that it is impossible to combine work and personal life, Sebastian ignores all warnings. He dated many of the actresses he worked with on set, including Leighton Meester in Gossip Girl, Jennifer Morrison in Once Upon a Time, and Margarita Levieva in Womanizer. But after the success of The Avengers, he still tried to hide his personal life from the press.
Personal life
The personal life of the charismatic performer has always been of interest to both fans and paparazzi. In 2008, Stan began dating his Gossip Girl co-star, actress Leighton Meester.
After 2 years, the couple broke up, and Sebastian found solace in the arms of Ashley Greene, and a couple of months later - Dianna Agron. Then Jennifer Morrison, with whom the man starred in the film Once Upon a Time, became a “victim” of the charming brunette’s charms.

Sebastian Stan and Dianna Agron
True, this relationship did not lead to a wedding. In 2013, each of the lovers went their own way, and the next year, Margarita Levieva, who played the villainous terrorist in the top-rated series “The Black List,” became the performer’s new girlfriend. The artist has already been talked about as the future wife of the star, but this romance also ended in 2021.
For now, the actor is focused on his career and is not thinking about long-term relationships, although in the future he sees himself as the head of a family with several children.
Only plays broken characters
Once in an interview, Sebastian was asked which of his characters could survive the zombie apocalypse.
None of them. They are all damaged, broken. Only the Winter Soldier can handle the situation because he was trained.
It is precisely because Sebastian is able to skillfully show a person who was deeply traumatized in his past that he continues to be invited to projects with the most dramatic scenarios. Sebastian himself did not express indignation about this, because he believes that none of his characters are anything like the other.
