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: '@todd.burge 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.

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.

Brenda Song breaks silence after ex Trace Cyrus accuses her of faking cancer and pregnancies
Brenda Song shared a heartwarming Instagram tribute just days after ex-boyfriend Trace Cyrus unleashed a shocking series of accusations against her. Trace, 36—the son of Billy Ray Cyrus and older brother of pop superstar Miley Cyrus, 32— made incendiary claims about his relationship with the Suite Life of Zack & Cody actress, 37, in a string of Instagram posts last week. The musician dated Song on and off from 2010 to 2017, and didn't hold back in his allegations. Among the most serious claims: that Song had stolen from him, faked a pregnancy, and even lied about having terminal breast cancer and a brain tumor. But on Wednesday, Song appeared to sidestep the drama entirely, taking to social media to celebrate her anniversary with fiancé Macaulay Culkin. The pair got engaged in January 2022 and share two children together—Dakota, 4, and Carson, 2. '8 years and there is still no one who makes me laugh or smile like the way you do,' Song captioned a photo of the couple. 'No one who makes me feel more seen, heard or loved.' She added: 'My partner in crime, my adventure partner, my best friend, my baby daddy, my favorite everything- thank you 'To be loved by you is the greatest privilege. Happy anniversary. I love you.' Culkin, 44, didn't ignore the special day either. He posted a quirky beachside photo series of Song getting closer to the camera with each frame. 'Happy anniversary, babe. Thank you for always coming towards me. You never run away,' he wrote in the caption, a subtle nod to their rock-solid bond despite the drama swirling around them. In Trace's shocking social media rant, he claimed Song 'stole thousands of dollars for me and fake multiple pregnancies lied about being terminally ill to make my family and I think that she had breast cancer and a brain tumor.' Trace, who has more than 689,000 followers on the social media platform, continued that 'it was all a lie.' Trace said that Song 'was humiliated to ever show her face around my family again once we figured it out and my mom confronted her and called her out on all of it.' Trace said that it had been 'another scenario where '[he] was a great loving person and someone did me wrong for no reason.' He added of Song: 'Oh, she also faked an abortion with fake blood covering the bathroom floor in my mom and I register her to the OB/GYN - that's when all the lies started unraveling and we realized it was fake.' Trace previously said of the relationship in a February 2018 Instagram post: 'I'm extremely happy for her. 'She inspired me to write countless songs and was such an important part of my life. I will always cherish songs I have … to remind me of our crazy 7 years together. ' Trace later said on Instagram Stories that Song claimed she got the brain tumor removed by the 'best surgeon in Chicago.' Trace added: 'She didn't realize we were catching on to her lies. So when she showed up to my house with a bandage on her head claiming she just got out of surgery. Trace said she 'ripped it off exposing no surgery had been done.' In a later post, Trace said he wasn't going to speak to reporters about his posts about Song; and if he was asked why he was speaking out now, it was because he 'felt like it.' Trace also encouraged people to follow his Instagram account before Friday morning, as he would be taking it private at that point.

EXCLUSIVE Wizards of Waverly Place star reveals the shock impact his new Hulu show has had on his life
Gregg Sulkin may have made name in Hollywood on Wizards of Waverly Place, but there is no Disney magic involved in his new series. The Kollective, which premiered on Hulu last week, tells the story of a group of young journalists who are inspired to expose government corruption and lies through a dangerous investigation after an unimaginable tragedy. It was a new kind of role for Sulkin, 33, who previously played Alex Russo's (Selena Gomez) love interest on the popular Disney series. '[Filming] was very physical, especially when you watch the first episode,' he exclusively told 'The show is about a group of young citizen journalists who sort of get caught up in this sudden tragedy and then they have to go and take matters into their own hands,' he continued. 'I think people in this day and age are starting to realize that not everything that is written is accurate and it should be checked and verified. There's a lot of bias when it comes to media,' Sulkin explained. The actor added the show reiterated how important is 'that journalism and media is told accurately.' 'One of the main reasons that I did the show, to be honest, was because I personally, look at the news nowadays and I get very saddened by it,' he admitted. 'I don't think that a lot of the information being spread is accurate,' he continued. Sulkin added that 'on top of that, we have a whole other battle, which is social media and misinformation being spread.' 'Also, we all have always dealt with - and will continue to deal with - the power of government and corruption,' he said passionately. The series takes the journalists (played by Natascha McElhone, Celine Buckens, Felix Mayr, and Grégory Montel) around Europe - however Sulkin says Africa - which they shot as the Congo - has a special place in his heart. 'During the first episode, we highlight the dangers that are going on in Congo and the, and the conditions that especially the children have to work in the Congo,' he explained.' 'Kenya was an unbelievable experience,' the actor reflected. 'So blessed to have this job, so blessed to go and travel the world and, and do what I love.' Sulkin said shooting in Kenya - where his character Joshua plays a pivotal part in the formation of the series - is a memory he'll have 'forever.' 'When you watch it on screen it's so cool because I'm watching it and I'm thinking I can still smell the streets, I can still taste the food,' he said enthusiastically. The actor added the show reiterated how important is 'that journalism and media is told accurately' Sulkin said the nature of the series and the important topics they cover made him even more grateful for everything he has. 'I think one of them is how blessed we are to live in the United States, and the conditions that certain parts of Africa that people still have to face,' he said. 'So I think I came away from the experience, extremely humbled.' The Kollective is currently streaming on Hulu.

BREAKING NEWS 'Heartbroken' Rachael Ray pens emotional tribute to Anne Burrell following chef's shock death aged 55
Famed chef Rachael Ray has broken her silence on the tragic death of her longtime friend, Food Network star Anne Burrell at the age of 55. Burrell was found unresponsive in her Brooklyn home on Tuesday morning. The New York Fire Department confirmed to Daily Mail that they were responding to a report of a cardiac arrest at 7.50am. The cause of death has not yet been reported by the Office of Chief Medical Examiner, with an investigation ongoing. Since the news of her death, tributes have poured in, including one from Ray, who had a special friendship with the star. On Wednesday, Ray took to her Instagram page to post a long message, sharing photos from her time with Burrell over the years, including when she was a bridesmaid in her 2021 wedding. Ray penned in an emotional tribute: 'The news about Anne has truly shaken us. John and I are heartbroken. I can't quite believe it — such a strong, vibrant, fearless woman, so full of life and love, could be gone so soon 'Anne was a rockstar! I came to know her well through multiple seasons of Worst Cooks on Food Network, and she became so much more than a colleague. 'Anne honored me by asking me to be her bridesmaid, something I'd only done once before for my sister. 'Despite being surrounded by incredible chefs, she never once made me feel self-conscious about not being one — she always treated me as one of the gang. 'When we hosted Worst Cooks together, we had the most incredible laughs. She even cooked for me and my guests at my wedding anniversary in Italy. 'I'll never forget walking into our dressing rooms at Food Network studios early in the morning and hearing her blasting the song of the moment down the hall. 'Anne had great taste in music and in life — she was a force in the kitchen, in any room, in every life she touched. 'I'll miss her friendship deeply. Everyone whose life she touched will miss her. Sending love to Stuart and everyone who knew and loved Anne. We've lost someone truly special.' In the comments section of her post, many Food Network stars and celebrities shared their condolences. Chef Emeril Lagasse responded with a broken heart emoji, while singer Emily Estefan wrote that she was 'sending healing love and light.' Ray had been friends with Burrell for many years, even having her on an episode of her podcast, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, this past winter. During the episode, Ray revealed that Burrell was the only friend who wasn't her sister who had asked her to be in her wedding. 'I have to say, Anne, my own sister has been married a few times, and I only got to be in one of her weddings,' the star admitted during the episode. 'The only person who ever asked me to be in their wedding other than my family member was you,' she said to Burrell. 'It made me burst into tears, I was so honored to be there, it was so much fun and it was so freakin' cold.' The occasion only took place a couple of years ago, as Burrell got married in October 2021. Ray served as a bridesmaid while the two wed in a romantic ceremony at RedBarn20 at Windridge Estate, located in Cazenovia, New York, where Burrell is from. In theme with the season, the Rachael Ray Show star wore a burnt orange bridesmaid dress that featured off-the-shoulder detailing at the neck. During the podcast episode, the two continued to reminisce on the magical fall day. 'My husband is English, and I swear, he willed that to happen, that misty, English, you know, the moors or something,' Burrell said during the episode in conversation with Ray. 'That weekend, the second I left for the rehearsal dinner it started raining, and did not stop until the second the brunch was over on Sunday,' she continued. But despite the weather, Burrell and Ray admitted that the wedding was 'so much fun' - with Ray even joking that it may have 'topped' her own special day when she married husband John M. Cusimano. The TV chef - who became synonymous with her trademark spiky platinum hair - is survived by husband Stuart, as well as her mother Marlene and sister Jane and her children Isabella, Amelia and Nicolas, and her brother Ben. 'Anne was a beloved wife, sister, daughter, stepmother, and friend — her smile lit up every room she entered,' her family said in a statement obtained by Tuesday. 'Anne's light radiated far beyond those she knew, touching millions across the world. Though she is no longer with us, her warmth, spirit, and boundless love remain eternal,' they shared. A Food Network spokesperson added, 'Anne was a remarkable person and culinary talent – teaching, competing and always sharing the importance of food in her life and the joy that a delicious meal can bring. 'Our thoughts are with Anne's family, friends and fans during this time of tremendous loss.' After earning a degree in English and Communications from Canisius College in Buffalo in 1991, she followed her culinary dreams and enrolled at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, graduating in 1996. She worked at a whole host of New York City hotspots including Felidia and Savoy in Soho, where she honed her craft in Mediterranean cuisine. She was later thrust into the spotlight and became best known as the longtime host of Worst Cooks in America. The show, which ran for 28 seasons, saw celebrated chefs mentor amateur cooks in an attempt to transform them from rookies to kitchen experts. Elsewhere, she appeared on Chef Wanted, Chopped, Food Network Star, and most recently, competition series House of Knives - which premiered in March this year.
