The evolution of Jesse Eisenberg
... Or, as I prefer to call it: When stylists go mad!
Let's look at Jesse a couple of years ago, when he was the sweet little muppet who played the everymensch in films such as "Zombieland" and "Adventureland."
He looked like a sweet boy who you could bring home on a Friday night to light candles on the Sabbath. The kind of guy who would volunteer to do the dishes — even the brisket pan — before you had to ask.
But since the success of "The Social Network," Eisenberg has turned into the slick creature you see below. He now looks like the kind of guy who talks loudly into his Bluetooth headset as he walks at a rapid clip through Hugo Boss. Worse yet, it looks like he's paying retail at Hugo Boss! What on earth is next? A bad romantic comedy? More flat ironing and too much curl relaxer? We want nerdy Jesse back. On a positive note, at least we can now tell the difference between Michael Cera and Jesse Eisenberg.
