HOLLYWOOD's Jesse Eisenberg is donating a kidney to a stranger and is urging others to copy his example.
The star of The Social Network said: "I got bitten by the blood donation bug.
"I'm doing an altruistic donation in mid-December. I'm so excited to do it." Jesse, 42, added that he first had the idea of a live organ donation around a decade ago but only recently set the process in motion.
SUCCESSFUL
He said: "It's essentially risk-free and so needed. I think people will realise that it's a no-brainer, if you have the time and the inclination."
Explaining the process he told NBC's Today: "Let's say person X needs a kidney in Kansas City and their child was going to donate to them but is not a match, but somehow I am.
"That person can still get my kidney and hopefully that child of that person still donates their kidney, right?
