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.'

While the duo made plenty of headlines, the 61-year-old actor also drew attention for the major changes to his style. Pitt was spotted wearing some unique and, honestly, pretty fun attire at various points in recent weeks. This includes what looked like a blue velvet oversized jacket with baggy jeans, and also a tie-dye outfit, among other looks. Regardless of how people felt about Pitt's new look, he stuck with it while publicly donning the stylistic change, to his credit. During the New York City-based premiere of F1: The Movie, GQ's Sasha Faith Mutchnik asked Pitt about his new looks, and perfectly referenced it as the actor getting back to his Fight Club "Tyler Durden-era" a bit. Pitt smiled while addressing the looks and candidly responded on the topic. "I just feel like, we've gotta have fun, let's have fun," Pitt said. "There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can." It was a great response from Pitt, and a few of his looks can be seen in the video posted by GQ below. Fans loved Pitt's answer, and specifically referenced the Fight Club aspect of the question as well. "Fight club rules," said one fan. 'There's so much turmoil in the world. Let's have fun when we can. Well said BP," added another. "He is having fun with fashion, and I am enjoying it," replied another fan. "Tyler Durden era," responded another with the raising hands emoji. While the unique outfits had fans' attention recently, Pitt's response to them is hard not to respect.
