<\/p>\n\t \t\t \tJesse Eisenberg leaves fans surprised with his selfless gesture \t <\/p>\n
Jesse Eisenberg has recently left fans surprised with selfless decision.<\/p>\n
The Social Network actor reveals that he will be donating a kidney to a stranger in mid-December, calling it a \u201cno-brainer\u201d altruistic act. <\/p>\n
Jesse, who is currently promoting new movie Now You See Me: Now You Don\u2019t, is known for routinely donating blood over the years.<\/p>\n
Now, he has appeared on the TODAY show on October 30 as he discloses, \u201cI am actually donating my kidney in six weeks. I really am.’<\/p>\n
When asked why he decides for kidney donation, Jesse responds, \u201cI got, like, bitten by the blood donation bug. I love it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zombieland actor adds, \u201cI\u2019m doing an altruistic donation in mid-December.\u201d<\/p>\n
According to Weill Cornell Medicine, an altruistic donation is \u201cwhen someone donates an organ to a stranger\u201d as the \u201crecipient is selected by medical compatibility\u201d.<\/p>\n
Jesse also advises other people to donate an organ, explaining, \u201cIt’s essentially risk-free and so needed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI think people will realise that it’s a no-brainer, if you have the time and the inclination,\u201d notes A Real Pain actor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Jesse, who is a father to eight-year-old son Banner, opens up that his donation will allow his family to be considered as a priority in the future if ever they need a living kidney donation, as per National Kidney Foundation\u2019s family voucher program.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe way it works now is you can put a list of whoever you would like to be the first to be at the top of the list. Soo, it’s risk-free for my family, as well,\u201d points out the 42-year-old actor.<\/p>\n
Later, fans take to the comment section on TODAY social media page as one writes, \u201cWow!! Props to him for real. I\u2019m speechless!\u201d<\/p>\n
Another remarks, \u201cThank you Jesse for your commitment and for using your platform to support living kidney donation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTransplant recipient here and what you are doing is life changing,\u201d adds some other user.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jesse Eisenberg leaves fans surprised with his selfless gesture Jesse Eisenberg has recently left fans surprised with selfless…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":110743,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[430,156,111,139,69],"class_list":["post-110742","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-new-zealand","tag-newzealand","tag-nz"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110742","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=110742"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110742\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/110743"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=110742"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=110742"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/nz\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=110742"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
