Sebastian Stan played a heartbreaking scene for his upcoming movie A Different Man in New York City this week.
The 39-year-old heartthrob plays a man with the genetic disorder neurofibromatosis, which results in tumors on the patient’s nerves.
In the scene he shot this week, Sebastian’s character is thrown to the ground by a vicious villain who then pulls out his phone and takes a picture.

Over the course of the film, the character reportedly underwent reconstructive surgery to reverse the disfiguring effect his condition had on his face.
The scene being filmed this week apparently takes place after surgery, as Sebastian’s normal face was in full view, not obscured by makeup or prosthetics.
Sebastian caught a glimpse of his knee, clutching his briefcase as he slumped on the sidewalk.
His suit that day included a floral top over black trousers, plus an attractive brown leather jacket to match his shoes.
