Jesse Eisenberg has taken home the Bafta award for Best Original Screenplay for his comedy drama, A Real Pain.
As well as having written the film, Jesse also directed and co-starred in the movie alongside co-star Kieran Culkin.
However, The Social Network star didn’t expect to win the award this evening (Sunday February 16), with hilarious results.
Accepting the award, he told the ceremony’s attendees: “I didn’t write anything because I didn’t think I’d win. I want to share this with my wife, who didn’t come because she didn’t think I’d win.”
He continued: “I want to share this with my wife because I’m not a stupid person; I’m an idiot, and when we first started dating, she dragged me to Venezuela, and in the last 20 years, she dragged me around the world, and that’s how I’ve learnt about the world.
