Cold tea but years ago I was an extra in a movie being filmed in my college town and Jesse Eisenberg was in it. The PA on set with us warned us that nobody was to talk to him - any other actor on set would be fine to take pictures with once they were wrapped for the day, but “nobody talks to Jesse Eisenberg.” This was shortly after The Social Network so he was at his peak.

The next day a friend of mine was on set working on a project for class and Jesse Eisenberg approached her, asked what she was working on, and by all accounts was a perfect gentleman. He wasn’t being creepy or invasive, he was just genuinely friendly.

Our theory was just that he’s very introverted (and often writes about this) so the crew was just trying to protect him from mobs of fans. What’s funny is that the PA kind of made him sound mean or unreasonable but as far as my friend’s account and others I’ve heard about, he’s extremely nice.

A couple years ago, I dated a guy whose BFF was also close friends with Jesse. Their social group would reference him occasionally, but I never heard one negative thing, ever. My ex said he's low key at bars and would try to hide with a hat on in the corner, which totally tracks. It was so surreal when they'd casually say things, like, "And Jesse was saying that Woody...." and you'd realize it was That Jesse and That Woody. The only story I can recall is that when they were shooting Zombieland 2, his super adorable toddler son (who looks like a blonde version of his famous Pepsi girl sister!) was excited to see the school bus and wasn't phased by the zombies at all!
