Dakota Johnson didn’t feel like she was well received by Jesse Eisenberg on the set of “The Social Network” in 2010. During a Vanity Fair conversation with Andrew Garfield, who also starred in the film, Johnson claimed that Eisenberg didn’t speak to her on set. Johnson played Amelia Ritter, a college girl who had a relationship with Justin Timberlake’s character, Sean Napster.
“You and Jesse were so busy on that movie, and I was obviously in it for four seconds, but I spent a few days on set just watching,” Johnson told Garfield during the interview. “I remember sitting down with you guys when you were having lunch one day, and you asked me loads of questions.” She recalled to Garfield, “You were really nice, and Jesse didn’t acknowledge me. He was probably in character.” The revelation prompted Garfield to defend Eisenberg, whom he said was channeling the seriousness of Zuckerberg in the film. “There was maybe some of the Zuckerberg coming through in that moment,” he laughed.
This isn’t the first time Eisenberg’s behavior has been called into question. The “American Ultra” actor was accused by a reporter for bullying her on a press junket in 2013, according to ABC News. However, Eisenberg later apologized, telling NME he “would never want to upset somebody.”
