Watch Jesse Eisenberg take on anti-gay protesters at London Pride

By Samuel McManus

Many of us have seen hate and stupidity in our lives, but Jesse Eisenberg came across for the first time this weekend as he cycled through a screen near the Pride in London parade route.

Spotting a group of homophobic preachers, the actor – in town to promote new movie ‘Now You See Me 2’ – went over to see what they were doing, to hear them call pride attendees “sick” and “an abomination”.

His reply: “That is so f***ing sad”.

In a video that captured the moment, one of the protesters is seen asking Jesse “Is your mind closed?”

In shock, Jesse tells him: “Is my mind closed? You’re so f***ed up.”

Watch the footage below:
