Jesse Eisenberg has always been a big blood donor, but now he is taking his giving to another level by donating one of his kidneys to a stranger.

The “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” star shared live on the "TODAY" show on Thursday that he is making the selfless decision.

“I’m actually donating my kidney in six weeks,” he said. “I really am.”

The Oscar-nominated actor, 42, was asked what prompted his decision.

“I don’t know why. I got bitten by the blood donation bug. I’m doing an altruistic donation (in) mid-December. I’m so excited to do it.”
