Headline: Eric Andre turned down Kieran Culkin's Oscar-winning role in A Real Pain
Caption: Speaking on Andrew Santino's Whiskey Ginger podcast, Andre revealed the film's writer, director, and star Jesse Eisenberg had originally offered the supporting role of his lead character David Kaplan's cousin, Benji, to him. A Real Pain follows the two estranged cousins as they reunite for a Jewish heritage tour of Poland to remember their late grandmother. The part eventually went to Culkin who bagged the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance as David's quirky, free-spirited travel comparison.
