Poland's president earlier this month conferred the country's
citizenship on Eisenberg, who has Polish heritage. On Saturday,
Prime Minister Donald Tusk posted a video on social network X
that showed him watching a clip of an appearance by Eisenberg on
NBC's The Tonight Show.
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.’”
In his video, Tusk said: “Dear Jesse, there's really nothing to
be afraid of!” He noted that military training is voluntary.
“So come over to Poland! And we'll give you such a training
that, the new James Bond role? It's yours!”
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. He said
that there’s a need for an army of 500,000 soldiers, more than
double the current number, which would include reservists.
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. He said he was
"convinced that there will be no shortage of volunteers.”
