 Actor Jesse Eisenberg to give kidney to stranger in December 

 Oscar-nominated actor Jesse Eisenberg announced Thursday that he will donate one of his kidneys to a stranger in an act known as an altruistic kidney donation. The 42-year-old actor, recognized for roles in The Social Network and the Now You See Me films, said the procedure is scheduled for mid-December.

“I’m actually donating my kidney in six weeks,” Eisenberg said during a television interview. He explained that his decision follows years of giving blood and supporting donation efforts, calling the upcoming kidney donation “so exciting” and “essentially risk-free and so needed.” Altruistic kidney donations involve giving a kidney to someone with advanced kidney disease whom the donor does not personally know; these non-directed donations can save lives for recipients anywhere on the transplant list. Eisenberg first considered donating about a decade ago, but was unable to connect with a program at the time. Recently, he spoke with a doctor friend who directed him to NYU Langone Health in New York City, where the surgery will take place. He also enrolled family members in a living kidney donor priority program to ensure they would have access if needed. As of September 2024, around 90,000 people were waiting for a kidney transplant in the United States.
