No. While the film includes Pearson, an actor who, in real life, is known to have a diagnosis of NF1, it’s important to understand that A Different Man is not about NF1.

Guy becomes obsessed with Oswald (British actor and TV presenter Adam Pearson), who he views as a happier, more successful version of his former self. Pearson previously starred in Schimberg’s 2019 film Chained for Life, about an actress struggling to connect with a disfigured co-star; Schimberg, who has a cleft palate, is drawn to the theme of facial differences.

You can change your hair, you can change your clothes, you can surgically change your face to that of Hollywood hunk Sebastian Stan, and you’ll still be the same awkward, unlikeable weirdo on the inside.
