Jesse Eisenberg is a living legend: John Chu
Los Angeles, May 31 (IANS) Jesse Eisenberg has earned himself the repute of a ‘skilled actor’ thanks to his roles in films like “The Social Network”. Now John Chu, the director of his forthcoming action-packed “Now You See Me 2”, too has good words to say about him.
Eisenberg shot to fame when he starred as the lead in real-life inspired role in “The Social Network”, and his unique look and acting calibre made him instantly noteworthy.
Chu feels Eisenberg is much more than what he is credited for.
“Jesse is brilliant both as a human being and an actor,” the director said in a statement.
