Eisenberg recently sat down for an interview on an episode of 'Late Night with Seth Myers,' where he described his time on the set of 'Batman v Superman' and the experience of being bald while filming the superhero blockbuster: "I came out of the womb with a full head of hair. I've never been able to touch my scalp. Yes, it's freezing. It's really strange. It's the kind of thing where you feel like 'I can really damage myself.' You want to wear a helmet.... It's terrifying," Eisenberg commented.
Additionally, Eisenberg addressed the secrecy surrounding the film's production, explaining how during filming, he always had to cover his head. Fans would remember an image taken of Eisenberg last year wearing a floral bandana covering his head while on set.
This is not the first time that Eisenberg has portrayed an ego-driven billionaire. Everyone who is a fan of Eisenberg's work remembers his Oscar-nominated performance as Mark Zuckerberg in 'The Social Network' several years ago. This time though, Eisenberg had to go through quite a transformation, and based on his comments, he certainly experienced a lot of different things.
Needless to say, Eisenberg's look as Lex Luthor is very convincing. Whether or not he could pull off playing one of the greatest comic book villains of all time is still subject to speculation, but for now, one can say that he is on the right track.
'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' hits theaters on March 25, 2016.
