Jesse Eisenberg’s Musical Prodigy: A Peek Into Family Life with Son Banner
Jesse Eisenberg, the talented star of *Now You See Me* and *The Social Network,* recently revealed that he has a budding musical collaborator in his life—his 7-year-old son, Banner. In an exclusive interview with PEOPLE, the 41-year-old actor opened up about his fatherhood journey and how he spends quality time creating music with his little one, describing him as a “brilliant musical kid.” This creative combo seems like a match made in artistic heaven. After all, who wouldn’t want to jam with a kid who’s already showing signs of exceptional talent at such a young age?
Eisenberg and his wife, Anna Strout, welcomed Banner in 2017 after a rollercoaster romance that saw them split for a few years before rekindling their love. They first met over two decades ago while filming *The Emperor’s Club,* which is practically a Hollywood fairytale in itself! In between acting gigs and directing projects, it’s clear that family comes first for Eisenberg, who reflected on how fatherhood has shifted his priorities dramatically. “I spent the first 33 years of my life worrying about myself,” he said, adding that the past seven years have been filled with real concerns—like ensuring Banner grows up happy and healthy.
The proud dad acknowledges feeling both overprotective and incredibly thankful when he sees traits in Banner that differ from his own, admitting a desire for him to inherit positive qualities from Anna instead. “Please just be everything like her,” he adorably quipped, showcasing the classic parental worry that many can relate to.
Eisenberg’s upcoming film, *Sasquatch Sunset,* is set to premiere at SXSW, setting the stage for him to tackle yet another creative endeavor while balancing life as a father. As he navigates both the whimsical world of Hollywood and family life, it’s clear that this actor is committed to capturing unique moments with Banner in a way that fuels both their passions. So, keep your eyes peeled—Banner could be the next big thing in music!
