Jesse Eisenberg is back on the promo trail for his new movie, Now You See Me, Now You Don’t, the third instalment in the hit magician-heist series, and he’s already cracking up audiences. During his recent appearance on The Tonight Show, Eisenberg joked that he actually wondered if Harrelson had something to do with the real-life Louvre Museum heist that’s been making headlines.
Jesse Eisenberg thought Woody Harrelson was involved in the Louvre heist
While talking about his upcoming film on The Tonight Show, Eisenberg cracked up over the weird timing between the movie’s release and the real-life Louvre diamond heist that had fans spinning wild conspiracy theories online.
When asked if the heist was actually a promo stunt, Eisenberg leaned into the joke, saying, “It was.” He went on to share that during a press junket, Harrelson started casually describing the exact tools he’d use to pull off a heist, in full detail.
That left Eisenberg and the rest of the cast completely baffled. We were all sitting there like, ‘What’s an acute grating saw? What are you even talking about? How do you know this stuff?” Eisenberg said.
When Fallon asked if Woody picked it up from the Now You See Me movies, Eisenberg said, “No, he knows it from maybe doing that.”
Eisenberg also opened up about how much fun it’s been stepping back into the role after all these years. Even though he joked about being “a miserable person” who usually plays “miserable people,” he said the Now You See Me movies are an exception.
“These movies are the only fun thing in my life,” he told Fallon. “I get to play the most confident magician on the planet. I stand up straight, wear a suit, and I just feel like a special boy.”
The erstwhile Lex Luther also pulled off a quick card trick on the show, the same one he’d tried earlier on a 10-year-old at his kid’s school. Eisenberg called it “bad magic,” and wowed Fallon and the crowd. Laughing, he joked, “I’m maybe the world’s worst magician, but I can act like I’m a good magician.”
