Jesse Eisenberg's Success Has Had Unintended Consequences on Conan O'Brien's Talk Show
During a recent episode of Conan O'Brien's talk show, Jesse Eisenberg opened up about the unintended consequences of his success in the entertainment industry. The actor, known for his roles in movies like "Zombieland" and "The Social Network," discussed how his achievements have led to some unexpected outcomes.
Eisenberg first reflected on his MTV award nomination for his performance in "Zombieland." While initially cool to be recognized, he found it amusing that he was being celebrated for being scared in a movie. He jokingly noted that he could have received the award for simply being scared in his own life.
Despite the nomination, Eisenberg chose not to attend the award show. He revealed his aversion to such events, finding them frightening. He amusingly suggested that nothing would confirm his nomination for being scared more than going to the award show itself. In the end, he didn't win the award and jokingly wondered if he had done something wrong in his role.
Award shows became a topic of discussion as Eisenberg highlighted how they often reward those who attend. He shared that he has a small team backstage, comprising hairstylists, makeup artists, and people checking his pulse to ensure he is calm before appearing on stage. After the show, they even lower his body temperature by keeping him in an ice bath and subsequently drive him to a hospital.
Delving into his personal life, Eisenberg acknowledged that his success has allowed him to give back in a unique way – by fostering cats. He humorously portrayed himself as a "crazy old lady" with a growing number of feline companions. Eisenberg admitted that the more movies he does, the guiltier he feels, which compels him to get more cats to alleviate the guilt. He explained that living in a small apartment in New York City has made this dynamic quite interesting, with regular deliveries of cats to his residence.
Living in a tiny New York apartment has its challenges, especially when one becomes a foster parent to many cats. Eisenberg described his situation as having tenants coming in and out, similar to having multiple houseguests. His apartment consists mainly of cat paraphernalia, including a significant amount of cat food and litter. He humorously remarked that his life revolves around feeding and cleaning cats, all while being hailed as the "sexiest geek alive."
Jesse Eisenberg's appearance on Conan O'Brien's talk show shed light on the amusing and unexpected consequences of his success. From being nominated for being scared to becoming a foster parent for cats, Eisenberg's journey in the entertainment industry has taken some intriguing turns. As fans eagerly await his next project, one thing is certain – Eisenberg's unique blend of talent and quirkiness will continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
