Jesse Eisenberg is on a whirlwind of interviews for his latest film Now You See Me. Maybe all the questions are getting to him, but in a recent interview, he has it in for his interviewer.

Eisenberg is known for his dry sense of humor that made him perfect to take on Mark Zuckerberg in The Social Network, but his sarcasm has labelled him a jerk in an interview that nearly left the journalist in tears.

Romina Puga, host of the Univision show “Say My Name” sat down with the Now You  See Me star to discuss the film and debunk a few magic tricks. Her attempt at engaging the actor was a complete fail.

First, she attempts to ask Eisenberg about his experience working with Morgan Freeman, in which she calls him ‘Freeman’. The actor responded sharply, “Freeman? Don’t call Morgan Freeman, ‘Freeman’ like you’re on a little league softball team.” he later calls Puga the “Carrot Top of interviewers.” In which she responds uncomfortably, “I’m going to cry now.” Eisenberg states, “Don’t cry now, cry after the interview is over because otherwise I’ll look like I’m responsible for it.” The interview pretty much went downhill from there with Puga calling the actor a “jerk”.
