Jesse Eisenberg Breaks Down His Most Iconic Characters

Jesse Eisenberg joins GQ as he revisits some of the most iconic characters from his career so far: from his award-winning performance in The Social Network as Mark Zuckerberg, to playing the DC Comics supervillain, Lex Luthor, in Batman v. Superman.

“I played the character in two different ways,” says Eisenberg of his portrayal of Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg. “We would do half of the takes in this socially-removed way, where the character is not picking up any social cues or perceiving other characters; and then we would do the other half a little more… natural.” Watch the full episode of GQ’s Iconic Characters as Jesse Eisenberg breaks down his most iconic movie roles.
