You won’t believe what the _Social Network_ star announced on _Today_: Jesse Eisenberg is giving one of his kidneys to a complete stranger. The actor, who’s been a longtime supporter of blood drives (remember that time he rolled up his sleeve on the _Today_ show?), dropped the news during a recent interview with Craig Melvin.I
actually donating my kidney in six weeks. I really am,” he said, sounding genuinely thrilled. “I don’t know why—I got bitten by the blood‑donation bug. I love it.”
Eisenberg explained that the altruistic donation will happen in mid‑December. He called the procedure “essentially risk‑free and so needed,” adding that if you have the time and the inclination, it’s a “no‑brainer.” He even revealed that the idea had been on his mind for about a decade—he’d reached out to an organ‑donation organization years ago but never got a response.
The actor’s enthusiasm was palpable: “I’m so excited to do it. It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time.” CNN has reached out to his reps for further comment, but the message is clear—Eisenberg sees this as a simple, impactful way to help someone in need.
So, next time you see him at an awards gala or on a morning show, give him a shout‑out for his generosity. Who knew the guy who played Mark Zuckerberg would turn out to be a real‑life hero
