Sebastian Stan expressed heartfelt affection for someone special during his unforgettable night at the awards.

While graciously accepting the esteemed award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture—Musical or Comedy for his outstanding performance in A Different Man at the 2025 Golden Globes held on January 5, the talented 42-year-old took a poignant moment to acknowledge his girlfriend, Annabelle Wallis, in a rare public display of affection.

As the award presenters, Andrew Garfield and Kerry Washington, announced Sebastian’s name as the winner, the camera swiftly captured The Apprentice star rising from his seat to share a sweet kiss with Annabelle before he made his way to the stage to accept the coveted trophy.

In the midst of celebrating his first major win—achieved against formidable nominees like Jesse Eisenberg in A Real Pain, Hugh Grant for Heretic, Gabriel LaBelle in Saturday Night, Jesse Plemons for Kinds of Kindness, and Glen Powell in Hit Man—Sebastian took the opportunity to advocate for the disabled community.

“We have to normalize it. We need to expose ourselves to it and our children,” he passionately stated. “Encourage acceptance. One powerful way we can accomplish this is by actively promoting stories that are inclusive. This film was not an easy one to create, and neither was The Apprentice, the other project I’m incredibly proud to be a part of.”
