Breaking News: Jesse Eisenberg said he was driving to Facebook to see if he could meet Mark Zuckerberg but was told to turn back for ‘legal reasons’….see why?

Eisenberg was nominated for best actor at the 2010 Oscars for his performance in the film, which charts the creation of Facebook in the early 2000s.

“I was driving up to meet him because I was told, ‘No, we’re not going to.’ So I was literally in my car driving up. I was going to just go to the office, and I figured they would let me in,” he said of Zuckerberg.

“I just wanted to be in a room with him, just to see what the feeling is like. It just seemed like the bare minimum of research,” he said, adding that he questioned how to act in a movie when “there’s a living person over there.”

Referring to the film’s producer, he said: “I got a call from Scott Rudin telling me, ‘Do not go there.’ He was telling me this on behalf of Sony’s lawyers. He was telling me, ‘You can’t do that for a variety of legal reasons.'”
