The movie A Different Man highlights the condition neurofibromatosis, where non-cancerous tumors appear on a person’s body. While Sebastian Stan is the lead actor of the film, and just picked up an award for his performance at the Golden Globes, the real star of the show is Adam Pearson, who actually has neurofibromatosis.
It was Pearson, as well as director Aaron Schimberg, who Stan shouted out as he accepted the award. “I share this with you. Thank you for your trust,” he said before launching into a condemnation of ableism. “Our ignorance and discomfort around disability and disfigurement has to end now. We have to normalize it and continue to expose ourselves to it, and our children. Encourage acceptance. One way we can do that is by continuing to champion stories that are inclusive.”
