Polish leader offers actor Jesse Eisenberg military training to ‘land the new James Bond role’

Poland’s prime minister has made a tongue-in-cheek offer to U.S. actor and director Jesse Eisenberg, who recently gained Polish citizenship, to give him military training that would land him “the new James Bond role.”

In that appearance, Eisenberg said, to laughter, that a day after he received citizenship he looked at the news “and the top story was ‘Poland now requires all males to participate in military training.’” Tusk said on March 7 that his government was working on a plan to prepare large-scale military training for every adult male in response to the changing security situation in Europe. On Tuesday, he said the government intends to put 100,000 volunteers through military training each year starting in 2027 as it seeks to build an army of reservists.
