Jesse Eisenberg stood up against anti-gay protestors during London’s Pride events on Saturday.

The actor encountered the protestors on his way to Trafalgar Studios, a theater where he is currently starring in the play “The Spoils.”

The group held up signs with quotes such as “Abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul.” A speaker on a microphone condemns the Pride festivities.

One member of the group tries to hand the 32-year-old a flier which he doesn’t take.

“Is your mind closed?”the member asks. Eisenberg responds, “Is my mind closed? So f**ked up.”
