Deliver Me From Nowhere: first trailer for Oscar-tipped Bruce Springsteen biopic
The trailer for Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere has offered the first real look at Jeremy Allen White in the lead role.
The award-winning star of The Bear plays the musician as he puts together his sixth album Nebraska in the early 1980s. The film, from Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper, is based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book.
Zanes has said it will be different from most biopics as 'it doesn't start before success – it starts in the middle.'
'I've got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally, musically, to get ready for this thing,' White also said in a GQ interview. 'I'm also really lucky [that] Bruce is really supportive of the film, and so I've had some access to him and he's just the greatest guy.'
Springsteen, who has been involved in the process, has already praised White's performance, calling him 'a terrific actor' who sings 'very well'.
'He's got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognise and he's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun,' he said in a recent interview. 'I've had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there.'
White, who has won two Golden Globes and three Emmys for his lead performance in The Bear, has also starred in wrestling drama The Iron Claw. He's also set to appear with Pedro Pascal in Star Wars movie The Mandalorian and Grogu.
The film also stars Jeremy Strong as Springsteen's manager Jon Landau and, fresh off his Netflix success with Adolescence, Stephen Graham as his father. The actor recently revealed that he received an emotional text from the singer.
'He's a working-class hero,' he said. 'He's an icon to thousands, to millions. And his text just said: 'Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory.' I was crying reading the text, do you know what I mean? Oh mate, it was beautiful. You couldn't ask for anything more, you know, to share that with someone was gorgeous. He's a lovely man.'
Springsteen has recently made headlines after speaking out against the policies of Donald Trump, calling him 'unfit' for office. The president fired back calling him a 'dried out prune'.
Deliver Me From Nowhere will be released in October.

Jeremy Allen White shocks fans with his singing voice as he stars as Bruce Springsteen in biopic
Jeremy Allen White looked and sounded just like Bruce Springsteen while performing his 1975 signature song Born to Run in the first trailer for Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper's biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, which dropped Wednesday morning. The 34-year-old Bear star was so good at emulating the 75-year-old heartland rock legend's raspy croon that fans were arguing in the comments of 20th Century Studios' Instagram post about whether or not he was actually singing. Instagram user @imstillhungrythough marveled: 'The way he sounds on Born to Run!' '@vanessavelas it's Jeremy singing,' Instagram user @ragamuffin_gunner replied to another. 'The fact you think it's Bruce means he's nailing it.' Instagram user @xxxanishaxxx chimed in: '@ it's Jeremy! I am an extra in the movie.' 'It's like Jeremy Allen White inhabited Bruce Springsteen in this performance,' Instagram user @nickjmalf commented. 'I can't wait to see the film.' Instagram user @irishoberymi wrote: 'Outstanding choice for an actor to portray Bruce... I mean spot on! I cannot wait to check this out.' 'Trailer gave me goosebumps!' Instagram user @idgee_t commented. 'Jeremy is the embodiment of Bruce in this!' And Instagram user @r251700 declared: 'Oscar for Jeremy!' In fact, Jeremy did sing all of the songs in the film himself, telling the Associated Press last month: 'I sang everything — everything's in the movie. It's done. No more prep, no more vocal lessons, I did it.' 'We finished it in January and Bruce was there a lot of time. Jon Landau, his manager was there a lot of time. They seemed happy and that makes me happy,' White noted. In the big-screen adaptation of Warren Zanes' 2023 biography, Springsteen creates one of the first truly DIY albums - Nebraska - at his home in Colts Neck, NJ with recording engineer Mike Batlan (Paul Walter Hauser) circa 1981-1982. 'Don't need to be perfect,' the 20-time Grammy winner explained. 'I want it to feel like I'm in the room by myself.' Bruce is seen attempting to re-record the same minimalist folk tracks about everyday blue-collar workers with the E Street Band, but he ultimately decided to release the original recordings instead.

Bruce is seen attempting to re-record the same minimalist folk tracks about everyday blue-collar workers with the E Street Band, but he ultimately decided to release the original recordings instead Springsteen's longtime manager Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) is seen listening to the cassette before telling a story abut how there was a hole in the floor of his childhood bedroom. 'A floor that's supposed to be solid? He's supposed to be able to stand on, Bruce didn't have that,' Landau explained. 'Bruce is a repairman. What he's doing with this album is, he's repairing that hole in his floor. Repairing that hole in himself. Once he's done that, he's going to repair the entire world.' Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere - hitting US theaters October 24 - also features Stephen Graham, Odessa Young, Gaby Hoffmann, Marc Maron, and David Krumholtz. The Boss' biopic musical drama arrives at the heels of A Complete Unknown, Elvis, and Bohemian Rhapsody - which brought awards season attention to Timothée Chalamet, Austin Butler, and Rami Malek. Bruce has released 21 studio albums spanning six decades and he's sold over 140M records worldwide. Springsteen was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1999, received the Kennedy Center Honors in 2009, the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016, and the National Medal of Arts in 2023. But first, audiences can next catch the two-time Emmy winner reprising his breakout role as chef Carmen 'Carmy' Berzatto in the 10-episode fourth season of Christopher Storer's critically-acclaimed drama The Bear, which premieres June 25 on Hulu.

Loved-up Travis Kelce reveals he and Taylor Swift have a 'movie list'… and their next choice has fans in meltdown
Travis Kelce has revealed that he and Taylor Swift have a 'movie list' - and a classic film is up next for the couple. After his brother Jason mentioned the 1998 movie 'Brink' on their New Heights podcast, Travis named the movie he and his girlfriend had been eyeing for a while. 'Could do 'Brink'. We mentioned 'Pretty Woman' - that's been on me and Tay's movie list for a while. I'm down to watch that,' Travis said on the latest episode of the show. The 1990 romantic comedy, starring Julia Roberts and Richard Gere, tells the unlikely story of a prostitute and businessman falling in love with one another. Roberts was nominated for an Academy Award for her depiction of Vivian Ward, while she won a Golden Globe for best actress in a musical or comedy. In offering some cinematic knowledge to his brother, Jason also said that 1999 Western 'Wild Wild West' was 'very underrated.' Travis & Taylor have a movie list ☺️ — 🏈👑 | fan acct. (@TayvisHaze) June 18, 2025 Nonetheless, fans went wild at Travis' revelation that he has a 'movie list' with pop star Swift, and that 'Pretty Woman' was next up. 'I love that. I adore the tiny little glimpses into their domestic life,' one wrote on X. 'That is so adorable oh my god,' a second said. 'They're so cute,' a third added. And a fourth said: 'release the movie list!!' Kelce and Swift will soon have plenty of time to check off their 'movie list' after Chiefs mandatory minicamp finishes up on Thursday. The tight end, 35, had been in Cannes with his brother on Monday - just a day before the start of this minicamp - before completing the nearly 8,000-mile trek back to Kansas City in time. After practices on Wednesday and Thursday, the Chiefs will be off until mid-to-late July. The team's website does not currently list the date's for this year's training camp, though it began on July 20 last year for veterans. Nonetheless, Kelce has showed up to Chiefs practice in great shape, as his dramatic weight loss was recently revealed. Kelce has returned to the Kansas City Chiefs with a much slimmer build than last season ESPN's Jeremy Fowler previously reported that Kelce had lost 25 pounds this offseason, entering what may well turn out to be the final season of his career. Fowler said that Kelce 'played a little heavier' last season, where he put his worst statistical numbers since his rookie year. 'As we have talked about before, this could be the last dance here for him, mid-30s, still a productive player, they want to go to him on third down but declining a little bit,' Fowler said. 'So he is trying to be slimmer and has gone hardcore this offseason to make it work in what could be his final season.'

Are YOU a good flirt? Take the five-minute test to see how your skills stack up against your peers
From James Bond to Jessica Rabbit, many of the most famous movie characters are known for their flirting skills. Yet in the real world, some people struggle mightily when it comes to chatting up someone they fancy. So, are you a good flirt? Experts at Psychology Today have developed an easy five-minute test that reveals how your skills stack up against your peers. 'There are five flirting styles: physical, playful, polite, sincere, and traditional,' the team explained. 'Physical flirts use body language; playful flirts think it's a game; polite flirts are cautious; sincere flirts look for authentic connection; and traditional flirts rely on conventional gender roles. 'See where you fall on this flirting personality scale.' If your flirting skills are rusty, panic not - a recent study revealed the best tactics for men and women. Psychology Today has created two versions of the flirting test - one for men, and one for women. Both tests feature 20 statements, with respondents asked to respond with how strongly they agree or disagree with them. Sample statements from the test for men include 'When flirting, I typically make more eye contact than usual,' and 'I try to be humble when I'm flirting.' Meanwhile, women can expect statements such as 'When flirting, I often toss my hair,' and 'I frequently touch the person I'm flirting with in some way, such as on the arm.' At the end of the test, you'll be given a score out of 100 and told what this means. For reference, the average score for women is 68, while the average score for men in 66. If you scored 0-24, you're classed as 'not a flirty person.' 'You are likely not comfortable flirting and may not be aware when you're being flirted with,' Psychology Today explained. The test features 20 statements, with respondents asked to respond with how strongly they agree or disagree with them At the end of the test, you'll be given a score out of 100 and told what this means. For reference, the average score for women is 68, while the average score for men in 66 'While some people like the games and mystery of flirting, you'd prefer to speak plainly.' A score of 25-39 is classed as a 'subtly flirtatious personality.' 'You are likely not comfortable flirting and may not be aware when you're being flirted with,' the experts explained. 'While some people like the games and mystery of flirting, you'd prefer to speak plainly.' If you scored between 60 and 68, you have a 'moderately flirtatious personality', according to Psychology Today. It explained: 'While you'd prefer to speak plainly sometimes, you're not afraid to turn on the charm. 'Others may not describe you as a flirt, but you are no stranger to the language of romance. 'If some people get lost in the games of leading on prospective lovers, you've struck a balance between being standoffish and a full-blown flirt.' Taking this up a notch, you have a 'flirtatious personality' if you scored 69-86. 'You are an expert at laying on the charm and knowing what to say when,' Psychology Today said. 'Your romantic conversations can be very effective, but you may lead people on. You are an expert in the language of sexual mystery.' Finally, you're a 'master flirt' if you scored between 87 and 100. 'You are a natural flirt,' the experts said. 'You have perfected the language of romance and are an expert at turning on the charm. 'You may love the game of flirting but you may also lead people on. You cultivate an air of sexual mystery.' If you're disappointed with your score, don't panic - help is at hand. In 2022, scientists from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology revealed the best flirting tactics for men and women. For men, the key is being funny and generous, according to the team. On the flip side, males prefer the opposite sex to appear sexually available and to laugh at their jokes. 'What's most effective depends on your gender and whether the purpose of the flirtation is a long-term or short-term relationship,' said Leif Edward Ottesen Kennair, a professor at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology. Scientists led by Menelaos Apostolou from the University of Nicosia in Cyprus anonymously asked men on Reddit why they thought they were still single. They analysed more than 6,700 comments and revealed the top 43 reasons why people are unable to find a partner. Here is the complete list — Poor looks (including baldness, and short stature) Low self-esteem/confidence Low effort Not interested in relationships Poor flirting skills Introverted Recently broke up Bad experiences from previous relationships No available women Overweight Different priorities Shyness Too picky Anxiety Lack of time Social awkward Enjoying being single Depression Poor character Difficult to find women to match Poor mental health Lack of achievements Stuck with one girl Lack of social skills Have not got over previous relationship Don't know how to start a relationship Lack of money I do not trust women Not picking up clues of interest Sexual issue Fear of relationships 'I am not interesting' Fear of rejection 'I will not be a good partner' Attracted to the wrong women Homosexual Given up Is not worth the effort Fear of commitment Health — disability issue Difficult to keep a relationship Addictions Other
