Jesse Eisenberg Applies for Polish Citizenship: ‘I Would Love to Create Better Relationships Between Jews and Polish People’
variety.comMarta Balaga Jesse Eisenberg has applied for Polish citizenship. In a recent interview with the Polish publication “Głos Wielkopolski,” he said he applied for it nine months ago and is now “waiting for the final signature.” “My family is from the southeast, from Krasnystaw, my wife’s [Anna Strout] family is from Łódź.
We wanted to have a greater connection to Poland. I would like to work here more,” he said. “Growing up, I’ve heard stories of the Polish relationship with my Jewish family and all the stories were great: we were best friends with the Poles.
My family lived in Krasnystaw up until the war, one person survived the war and moved to Szczecin. Unfortunately, she passed away from Covid, so it was quite recent.” Variety has reached out to Eisenberg’s representatives for comment.
The “Social Network” star was in Poland as a guest of Impact’24 congress. Previously, he shot “A Real Pain” in the country. Eisenberg directed, wrote and starred in it, alongside “Succession’s” Kieran Culkin.
