Mit dem oscarprämierten Film »Real Pain« wollte Jesse Eisenberg der Heimat seiner Familie wieder näher kommen. Seine Großtante war während der Schoa in die USA geflohen. Nun hat der Schauspieler selbst die Staatsbürgerschaft angenommen.
Jesse Eisenberg, nominated for an Oscar for his film "Real Pain" about Jewish family trauma, has received Polish citizenship. The Polish president personally presented him with the citizenship, which Eisenberg applied for some time ago. Eisenberg stated he felt increasingly comfortable in Poland during filming. "Real Pain", written, directed, and starring Eisenberg, is inspired by his great-aunt who fled Poland before WWII, while other family members who remained were killed during the Holocaust.
