Actor Sebastian Stan is reflecting on fatherhood and its impact on his perception of his upcoming film, 'Fjord.' Having welcomed his first child in July 2026, Stan finds his view of the movie, which he stars in and which is based on real events, has evolved.
The film 'Fjord,' directed by Cristian Mungiu, stars Stan as Mihai Gheorghiu, a father accused of child abuse. The plot follows Mihai and his wife as they move their family to a secluded Norwegian village, only to face intense scrutiny and accusations that lead to their children being taken away.
