The Boss has given his vote of confidence to The Bear star Jeremy Allen White. In an interview with Sirius XM’s E Street Radio, Bruce Springsteen praised White’s performance of him in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere which follows the making of Springsteen’s 1982 album Nebraska.
Deliver Me From Nowhere sees White playing The Boss during a pivotal moment in his life as he grapples with personal demons, as well as trying to embrace becoming a global superstar.
Springsteen said he visited the set of the film several times and, after initially getting over the weirdness of seeing someone play him, said “Jeremy is such a terrific actor that you just fall right into it.”
“He’s got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognize and he’s just done a great job. I’ve had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there,” Springsteen continued. As for White’s singing, The Boss praised his vocal talents too, telling Sirius “He sings very well.”
