Eisenberg first visited the town in 2007 while searching for his family roots, and he returned in 2023 to film "A Real Pain," a tribute to his great-grandmother, who was born in Krasnystaw.
Mayor Daniel Miciuła emphasized that Eisenberg and his film have brought international recognition to the town.
Local residents, represented by Witold Woiński and Wojciech Machejus, submitted the proposal to honor the actor, who is expected to accept the title in person.
"A Real Pain" premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, where it received enthusiastic reviews. Eisenberg explained that the film is based on his family's true story and follows a journey through Poland in search of ancestral roots.
The U.S. premiere of the film is set for November 1, with the Polish premiere taking place in Warsaw on November 4.
