Jesse Eisenberg, aged 40, is close to obtaining Polish citizenship. In a recent tête-à-tête with the newspaper "Głos Wielkopolski," the famous Hollywood actor, hailing from New York City, disclosed that he applied for Polish citizenship nearly a year ago.

The cinematic icon hinted at his motive for applying for Polish citizenship. His roots trace back to the little town of Krasnystaw. Aside from this, his wife, Anna Strout, also has Polish ancestry. The couple desired to strengthen their ties with Poland and Eisenberg had the ambition to film more often within the country's boundaries.
Eisenberg's last movie brought him closer to Poland
In his last on-screen role, "A Real Pain," Eisenberg, not only starred but also directed the movie. This gem was filmed in various locations such as Krasnystaw, Lublin, Warsaw, Radom, and Krasnik, where he also has familial ties. Kieran Culkin, also renowned for his role in "Succession," appeared alongside him in this production. The story revolves around two cousins, originally from the United States, who travel to Poland, the homeland of their families.
Eisenberg feels an exceptional bond with Poland, he alludes. His recollections of growing up include anecdotes about his Jewish family's relation with Polish folks, all narratives filled with warmth, he states. "We were great friends with the Poles," Eisenberg recalls.
During the making of this film, Eisenberg interacted with members of the government. "I would relish the possibility of fostering better relations between Jews and Polish people. It's a pity the rapport isn't wonderful," the 40-year-old said then, "Is there a pathway to Polish citizenship?"
