I seriously thought this was a joke, can't believe this is true!
On this weekend's Saturday Night Live show Jesse Eisenberg met the owner of Facebook Mark Zuckerberg for the first time! Jesse plays Mark in the Oscar-nominated The Social Network, yet they had never met? WTF
Jesse said they didn't really meet for the first time on stage, but they met at dress rehearsals:
“We were both so excited to be there. Before they do the live show, there’s a dress rehearsal in front of an audience, and that’s where I met him. You know, it was such an overwhelming experience and that was probably the best way to meet him.”
Although it looked seriously awkward on the show, Jesse said that was just part of the sketch and that it was really good to meet him:
“No, it was wonderful. I was so happy that he agreed to do it. I can imagine it must be such a strange experience to have a movie made about your life and the fact that he so generously came and did that… I thought was so sweet.”Mark had always said he never wanted to see The Social Network but eventually gave in and took all the Facebook staff on a company outing to see it!
Here's the 'awkward' moment they met:
