Early Life

Sebastian was born on August 13, 1982, in the Romanian port city of Constanța. His parents divorced shortly after his birth, leaving him in the care of his mother, pianist Georgeta.

When he was eight, the anti-communist Romanian Revolution forced his family to move to Vienna. Four years later, they migrated to the United States.

Moving from one home to another can be challenging for any child. But young Sebastian transitioned through three countries and three languages.
It was tough transitioning from one world into a completely different one where a different language is spoken. But in the end, that experience proved valuable. As a child, you just want to fit in. Growing up, I realized that being different is actually a good thing.
In the US, Georgeta married the head of a private school in New York, which Sebastian attended. He formed a close bond with his stepfather and quickly came to regard him as his real father.

From his earliest months in America, Stan was constantly on stage. He joined the drama club and participated in every school play, including "West Side Story," "Harvey," "Cyrano de Bergerac," and "Little Shop of Horrors." After finishing high school, he enrolled at Arts University in New Jersey, where Sebastian earned the nickname "Sea Bass."
Upon graduation, he became both a certified actor and an official US citizen. In 2007, he made his Broadway debut in "Talk Radio" alongside Liev Schreiber.

Acting Career

Stan made his film debut in Vienna in 1994, landing a minor role in the Austrian drama "71 Fragments of a Chronology of Chance." He returned to the big screen a decade later, starring in the comedy "Tony n' Tina's Wedding." Interestingly, the lead role was played by then-unknown actress Mila Kunis, also an immigrant from Eastern Europe.

Sebastian's first major role was in the hit TV drama "Gossip Girl" alongside Blake Lively. Though his character only appeared in 11 episodes across the show's first three seasons, the young actor gained a huge female following worldwide. A few years later, he starred in the NBC series "Kings."

In 2010, Stan reunited with Mila Kunis in Darren Aronofsky's Oscar-winning psychological thriller "Black Swan."

Sebastian's career hit a major turning point when he landed the role of assassin Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, in "Captain America: The First Avenger." The 2011 blockbuster catapulted Stan into the ranks of Hollywood's hottest young stars.

With over $350 million in global box office, the film spawned multiple sequels that saw Sebastian reprise his role as Bucky Barnes alongside Chris Evans' Captain America. Stan also voiced his character in the video game "Captain America: Super Soldier."

Sebastian has fond memories of working on the dramedy "Ricki and the Flash," playing the adult son of Meryl Streep's character. He once admitted he couldn't tell where Meryl's character ended and her real personality began, describing the experience as "like sleeping on a bed of pinecones."

In early 2018, Sebastian appeared in the biographical dark comedy "I, Tonya" starring Margot Robbie. The film follows a figure skater who defies the sport's pristine image. Sebastian played Jeff Gillooly, the ex-husband who orchestrated an attack on Tonya's rival.

Sebastian appeared in both "Avengers 3" and "Avengers 4", and also in the anticipated adaptation of Shirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle" alongside Alexandra Daddario. In 2021, he starred with Anthony Mackie in the Disney+ series "The Falcon and the Winter Soldier," which earned two MTV awards, including Best Duo.

Sebastian Stan's Personal Life

Sebastian's first kiss happened when he was just 10 years old with a 16-year-old girl from his school. "It was awesome! But I can't even remember her name," he revealed in an interview. He also shared in that same interview that he lost his virginity at 17.

The charismatic Hollywood star has captured hearts both on and off screen. Stan's dating history includes actresses like Leighton Meester (his "Gossip Girl" co-star), Ashley Greene, Dianna Agron, and Jennifer Morrison.

Starting in 2013, he dated Margarita Levieva, whom he met on the set of "Spread". Like Sebastian, she's also an immigrant. Her family moved to the USA from Leningrad in 1991. They broke up in 2016.

He took on the role of Tommy Lee, Mötley Crüe's drummer, in the miniseries "Pam & Tommy," which chronicled the wild romance between the rocker and Pamela Anderson, played by Lily James.

To prep for the role, Sebastian walked 20,000 steps daily, ran extensively, and fasted for 16-18 hours a day. But mastering those epic drum solos proved to be the biggest challenge. "My fingers were swollen for a week and a half. I kept smacking myself in the head with the drumsticks," he recalled.

Around this time, Stan also starred in Hulu's horror-comedy "Fresh," the action thriller "The 355," and the financial comedy "Bad Money." His next reprisal of the Winter Soldier role will be in "Captain America: Brave New World," set for release in July 2024.
