Watch: Jesse Eisenberg Stands Up to Anti-Gay Pride Protesters
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Actor Jesse Eisenberg was filmed in London Saturday, telling off anti-gay Christian activists who were protesting a Pride event, the Daily Mail reports.
Video footage, posted to YouTube by Urban Pictures UK, shows the "Batman v Superman" star riding a bike and clashing with the protesters, telling them they "are so fucked up."
He's seen approaching the group of people, who are preaching about Christianity and holding signs that read, "abstain from fleshy lusts, which war against the soul" and "when Pride commeth, then commeth shame."
Eisenberg, 32, is first seen assessing the signs and the people preaching with a shocked look on his face. He shakes his head before a man offers the "Louder than Bombs" actor a leaflet, asking him if his "mind is closed."
"It's so fucked up," Eisenberg, who is performing in a West End play in London, is seen saying. He then tells the group they are "so fucked up."
