Jeremy Allen White has transformed from a chef to 'the Boss.'
The star of The Bear will portray living legend Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, directed by Scott Cooper (Crazy Heart, The Pale Blue Eye). Here's everything we know about the film so far.
The film is based on the 2023 book Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska by Warren Zanes, which chronicles the making of Springsteen's sixth studio album, 1982's Nebraska. Rather than a full childhood to present-day type of biopic, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere will focus on this specific time in the singer's life.
Jeremy Allen White will star as Bruce Springsteen. Succession's Jeremy Strong will play Jon Landau, Springsteen's manager and record producer. The cast also includes Odessa Young, Stephen Graham, Paul Walter Hauser, Marc Maron, Johnny Cannizzaro, Harrison Gilbertson, David Krumholtz, and Chris Jaymes.
White has shared how he prepared for the iconic role. 'I've got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally, musically, to get ready for this thing,' he told GQ. '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.'
He continued, 'Also, there's just so much footage. It's really great to go down a YouTube rabbit hole and find him at all these different periods in his life and be able to listen to his speaking voice as well as his singing voice. That's kind of been the deal, just listening to him a lot and watching him a lot. It's been really fun preparing.'
The film will be released in theaters on Oct 24, 2025.
Yes! On June 18, 20th Century Studios released the official trailer.
In an interview with SiriusXM's E Street Radio, Springsteen praised White's performance. 'Jeremy is such a terrific actor,' he said. 'He's got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize. He's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there.' (Springsteen was spotted visiting the set in New Jersey last November).
He even had some kind words for White's vocals. 'He sings very well,' he added. 'And Jeremy Strong and Odessa Young, there's just a tremendous cast of people. They cast the film beautifully so, it's very exciting.'
