Jesse Eisenberg: I’m a daily patron of the New York Public Library

Jesse Eisenberg has revealed that he loves reading in the New York Public Library.

Jesse Eisenberg is a “daily patron” of the New York Public Library.

The 42-year-old actor has revealed that he visits the world-famous library most days, and has done for the last decade.

The Hollywood star told People: “I’m a daily patron of the library. That’s where I do all my work, to the point where I can’t get anything creative done if I’m not at a library.

“The way I work in my own life is I go to the library every day with a friend of mine who’s also a writer. We sit together and work on our own projects and we bounce ideas off of each other. That’s how I’ve worked for about 10 years.”

Jesse also visits other libraries in the city with Banner, his eight-year-old son.

The actor shared: “My kid’s school is near an amazing branch and then across the street from the one I go to, there’s an amazing branch with a great children’s collection. If you’re a child in New York City and you’re interested in reading, it’s the most amazing place.”

Meanwhile, Jesse previously admitted that he’s shunned social media because he fears he’ll “say something inappropriate”.

The actor played Mark Zuckerberg, the Facebook founder, in The Social Network – but Jesse has never been interested in using social media platforms in real life.

He told The Times newspaper: “I’m not on that stuff for a few reasons.

“One is that I’m already a public person. I spent an hour talking to you about my family and that is already unnatural. So I don’t then have a need to go on Twitter. ‘Why am I still talking about myself? Shut the f*** up!’

“Also, I would say something inappropriate, because I don’t have fully formed thoughts. But I’m good at writing characters with whom I can explore my philosophies in a way that doesn’t feel didactic or that I know more – because I truly don’t.”
