And so he just was squeezing them.”
“I was just thinking, ‘This guy is a genius,'” he said.
“Because he was so comfortable in his own skin.
He was so good, too, as an actor.

Meyers then joked that Culkin had spoken Eisenberg’s “love language” during that fateful but fortuitous audition.
“Exactly,” Eisenberg replied.
“The way to my heart is through my nipples.”
A Real Painopens in limited theaters today.
