Bruce Springsteen's 'interesting' visit to set of biopic
Bruce Springsteen admitted visiting the set of his upcoming biopic was 'interesting'.
Jeremy Allen White portrays the legendary rocker in the new movie 'Deliver Me from Nowhere' and Bruce revealed that he enjoyed visiting the set and seeing how they recreated his grandmother's house.
He told Variety's Awards Circuit Podcast: 'I was on tour during a lot of it, so they filmed a good amount of it without me there. But I was on set sometimes. It was interesting to see it played out, to see your grandmother's house again, and to go inside and get a general feeling of what it was like when you were very young. So I enjoyed all those parts of it.'
The focus of the film is the time Bruce, 75, spent making his 1982 album 'Nebraska' and is adapted from Warren Zanes' book of the same name.
Bruce revealed why he gave his blessing to director/writer Scott Cooper's adaptation.
He said: 'They pitched the idea, and I said, 'it sounds like fun'. It's an interesting concept, because it's only a couple of years out of my life. It's '81, '82, and around the creation of that particular record while I was simultaneously recording 'Born in the USA' and also going through some personal difficulties that I've been living with my whole life. But it's fantastic.'
And, Bruce previously praised Jeremy, 34, for his work on the movie.
During an appearance on SiriusXM's E Street Radio, he said: 'He sings well. He sings very well. You know, and Jeremy Strong and Odessa Young, you know, it's a tremendous cast of people. They cast the film beautifully, so it's very exciting.
'It was "a little bit" weird at first' but "you get over that pretty quick.
'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 [understand] and he's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun. I've had a lot of fun being on the set when I can get there."

Karol G unhappy with critics
Karol G is unhappy with criticism of her song 'Latina Forever'. The 34-year-old singer's ode to Latin women was slammed for sexualising women with the lyrics 't*** and a**' but Karol thinks it is unfair that she gets blasted for singing raunchy songs. She told Variety: 'I feel like the bigger the project gets, the harder the people get with me. I think there are different opinions on how I should and shouldn't be acting at this point in my career and it gets so confusing sometimes that it becomes hard to handle. 'It's difficult, because the video is incredible but I knew having us in bikinis with me singing about t*** and a** … I just knew it was going to be a talking point. But the way I see it, I am just singing of my realities. I don't want to change myself to have to please anyone, either. I have emotional songs on this record that are soul-touching, and then I have my fun and sometimes raunchy songs - Latinas are everything. Why can't we just be everything?' Meanwhile, Karol is one of the few Latin artists – including Luis Miguel, Bad Bunny and Shakira – who have embarked on a global stadium tour and she admitted she still hasn't processed how monumental it is. She said: 'I haven't spoken with [Bad Bunny], but I would love the opportunity to get to talk to him about the experience, because it is such a massive accomplishment that I haven't fully digested. When we first sat down to route the tour, everyone kept telling me, 'Don't you think it's too much too fast?' I'm so proud that we did it. I remember thinking 'My God, Shakira is doing this. I'm doing this?! I get to do what she does on this scale?!' It's insane.'

Bruce Springsteen avoided movie biopic set during filming of ‘deeply personal' scenes
The Dancing in the Dark hitmaker frequently visited the set of Deliver Me From Nowhere, to observe Jeremy Allen White portraying him and recreating scenes from his life. However, Springsteen revealed to Rolling Stone that he deliberately avoided the set whenever White was filming "deeply personal" scenes, because he didn't want his presence to affect The Bear star's performance. 'If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home.'

Bad Bunny believes 'it feels silly to complain' about fame
Bad Bunny has declared "it feels silly to complain" about fame. The musician - real name Benito Martínez Ocasio - has become one of the most high-profile Latin stars in the world in recent years but he's determined to remain humble and insists his job is just to "sing" and cannot be compared to other professions despite all of the "sacrifices" he has to make. He told Variety: "At times, I do think ... what I'm signing up for is a lot. But the way I see it, I'm not a doctor; I'm not a teacher; I'm not someone who has to wake up every morning at 5 a.m. to lay down concrete on a busy road to survive. "My job is to f****** sing, and even though it comes with its own set of sacrifices, it feels silly to complain about it." He went on to add that he loves performing and hopes to continue for many years to come. Bad Bunny said: 'I like to perform like nobody there knows who I am or what I've accomplished. The stage is where I'm the most present and happiest. I'll probably be doing this until I'm an old man." In the interview, Bad Bunny credited his small circle of friends with keeping him grounded - insisting he's stayed close to pals he's known since childhood - and he's staying connected to his roots as he still lives in his native Puerto Rico despite finding fame in the US. He explained: "I've always felt that I read people extremely well ... "I'm very intuitive with who and how I spend my time. I take care of my mental and heart space ... "There are people that I work with who I've known since I was a kid, and what a blessing that is - to know that despite the outside world and time passing, or anything, they still love me the same ... "I'm still me, my greatest friends are still the ones from my childhood, and in the middle of it all, there's always Puerto Rico. It's not like I'm living a detached reality - I still live on the island."
