American actor and filmmaker Eisenberg, 40, has gained a lot of popularity in Hollywood.
He has acted in more than 40 films, including the successful films Now You See Me, The Social Network, and Zombieland.
Fans have noted, though, that Eisenberg hasn’t been as visible in the film business lately, and there’s a good reason for that.
In 2009’s Zombieland, Eisenberg played with Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Abigail Breslin in his breakthrough role.
The actor won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor for his role in the critically acclaimed film The Social Network, which he starred in less than a year later.
He controversially portrayed Lex Luthor in Zack Snyder’s 2016 film Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice.
When it first came out, viewers chastised his interpretation on social media, with one user writing: “Easily the worst version of the character I have ever seen. I have no idea what in the world they were thinking!”
Another added: “Honestly, I never enjoyed Jesse Eisenberg’s casting as Lex Luthor or his performance.”
According to Collider, Eisenberg discussed his interpretation of Lex Luthor with Playboy, saying, “The character is in line with what audiences want to see now, which is a more modern, psychologically realistic concept of Lex Luthor.”
Eisenberg is still a popular actor despite the criticism, even though we don’t get to see him too much.
The celebrity disclosed the reason behind his disappearance from high-profile ventures in an interview with Esquire.
Rather, he is concentrating on the experience he will have in the role and securing exciting roles.
Eisenberg told the publication: “I’ve worked with people who have made a lot of movies too, and they’re not always amazing.
“I don’t watch the movies I’m in, so I really just focus on the experiences I’m going to have and what character I’m going to play and live with and feel like.”
“So I guess I’m less concerned with the final product and more concerned with just doing what’s exciting at the moment.”
Eisenberg has written and starred in the narrative series “When You Finish Saving the World” for Audible, as well as published short stories in recent years.
In the end, he directed the series into the eponymous picture, a move he claims improved his acting.
He told IndieWire, “It’s kind of taken a bit of anxiety off me as an actor. Because I see the process from the outside so it’s less daunting.”
