Jesse Eisenberg is a living legend: John Chu

Now John Chu, the director of his forthcoming action-packed Now You See Me 2, also has good words to say about him.

Eisenberg ‘s unique look and acting calibre made him instantly noteworthy. Chu feels Eisenberg is much more than what he is credited for. “Jesse is brilliant both as a human being and an actor,” said the director. 

“I admire Jesse so much. No matter how I imagine a scene being played out, he always creates something more unique and more honest than anyone I’ve ever worked with.

 So it’s a pleasure and an honor to watch him work and try to capture as much of his nuance as possible on camera. I think he’s a living legend already at such a young age and I look forward to both working with him and seeing his work for years to come,” he added.
