Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The first trailer for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere, starring Jeremy Allen White dropped yesterday, and featured a clip of White singing the Springsteen classic Born To Run. Fans though, had the same question after watching the clip: is that actually White singing? This is what we know. Newsweek has contacted a representative for White for comment via email. The Context Deliver Me From Nowhere follows Springsteen as he records his sixth studio album, Nebraska. The film is written and directed by Scott Cooper based on Warren Zanes' 2023 biography Deliver Me from Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska.

More Jakubaszek/for FX Networks The film also stars Jeremy Strong as Jon Landau, Springsteen's manager and record producer, Stephen Graham as Douglas Springsteen, Bruce's father and Odessa Young as Faye, Bruce's love interest in the film. What To Know White does in fact sing in the film, telling E! News in May "I sing in the film." Speaking to GQ in August of last year, White said "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." White has even been praised for his singing in the film by the Boss himself, with Springsteen telling Jim Rotolo in a Sirius XM interview "He sings very well." Springsteen is the latest star to get the biopic treatment. Timothée Chalamet starred as Bob Dylan in 2024's A Complete Unknown. Chalamet did his own signing, with no lip-synching, and trained for five years for the role. He worked with a vocal coach, guitar coach, harmonica coach and dialect coach to master Dylan's voice. The production recorded between 35 and 40 Dylan songs, all of which were performed live on set. In Baz Luhrmann's 2022 biopic Elvis, Austin Butler took on the role of the King of rock 'n' roll. Butler also sings in the movie, with his voice being exclusively used in scenes which depict Elvis in his younger years. Later in the film, Butler's vocals were mixed with Elvis' for the Las Vegas era of his career. For Bohemian Rhapsody, the 2018 biopic about the life of Queen singer Freddie Mercury, Rami Malek, who portrayed Mercury sang, but the voice heard in the film is a studio-crafted blend of Mercury, Malek and Canadian musician Marc Martel. This mixed vocal though, isn't on the film's soundtrack which is instead solely comprised Queen's original recordings. What People Are Saying Jeremy Allen White, speaking to GQ in an August interview last year: "I'm really lucky that there's sort of a team of folks now in place to help young actors portray rock stars. I've got a really talented group of people helping me train vocally, musically, to get ready for this thing." @ohhhhhherewegoo on X in response to the film's trailer, in a post viewed over 447,000 times: "can't believe this is jeremy allen white's voice." @senseofurgee, in a post on X viewed 84,900 times: "i'm 99% sure jeremy did all the singing himself, he had a vocal coach and learned how to play the guitar for this role specifically. i don't think he'd go through all that trouble just to use ai to help him out. bruce himself couldn't tell the difference." What's Next The film is set to be released on October 24, 2025.

Deliver Me from Nowhere trailer: Jeremy Allen White sings Springsteen's biggest hits, divides fans
Jeremy Allen White might not be the first person you'd picture playing The Boss but the new trailer for the upcoming Bruce Springsteen biopic, might just change your mind. Best known for his Emmy-winning role in The Bear, White transforms into the rock legend as the movie revisits the period following Springsteen's 1980 pop breakthrough Hungry Heart. In the trailer, he's seen strumming the guitar, playing harmonica, and singing both Nebraska's title track and the anthemic Born To Run. To nail the role, White didn't cut corners. 'There's just so much footage,' he told GQ last year. '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. It's been really fun preparing.' Springsteen himself was a regular on set and has given his stamp of approval. 'He's got an interpretation of me that I think the fans will deeply recognise and he's just done a great job, so I've had a lot of fun,' said the star. He even praised White as 'a terrific actor' who sings 'very well.' The film, directed by Scott Cooper and based on Warren Zanes' book, digs into the deeply personal phase of Springsteen's life during the early '80s — a time of creative tension, introspection, and emotional reckoning. Much of Nebraska was recorded alone by Springsteen in his Colts Neck, New Jersey home, capturing a rawness rarely seen in mainstream music at the time. White, now 33, is close in age to Springsteen when he made the album. Initial reactions are mixed. 'Nebraska is one of my all time favorite albums. Absolutely cannot wait for this!' wrote one Reddit user. Another chimed in, 'Came here to say the same thing. Got chills hearing the opening of Nebraska in this clip. Can't believe they went with that. Everyone knows Bruce from Born to Run and Born in the USA, but I think Nebraska and The Ghost of Tom Joad are his finest work.' Still, not everyone is convinced. 'Jeremy Allen White just doesn't look like Bruce at least 50% of the time,' one fan noted. 'But then some shots (like the ones at 0:27 and 0:28) look really close.' Another wrote, 'He seems to really nail the physicality while playing guitar, eerily so… but yeah, cautiously… well I don't know if I'm optimistic. This is a very Dewey Cox trailer.' There's also buzz about the source material. One fan of the book remarked, 'The author, Warren Zanes, focuses on the period between the end of The River Tour and the release of Born in the USA. This was a critical, existential period for Springsteen. If the movie indeed focuses on the making of Nebraska, it will not be your run of the mill birth-to-death musical biopic.' Others, however, weren't feeling the trailer's vibe. 'Any interest I might have had completely diminished as I saw Scott Cooper's name,' said one. 'Man has had an uncanny ability, in my experience, to completely fumble every single one of his films.' Another added, 'I think it's silly to release biopics about people who are still alive.' And then there's the skepticism many seem to share: 'This looks corny af. Feels almost like a parody trailer. Also not vibing with Jeremy as Springsteen here. Maybe it's just the trailer and the movie will be good.' This biopic is already striking a chord, and it hasn't even hit theaters yet.

See Jeremy Allen White Perform Bruce Springsteen's 'Born To Run' in First 'Deliver Me From Nowhere' Trailer
Jeremy Allen White is stepping into Bruce Springsteen's shoes for his next big screen role. On Wednesday, June 18, 205h Century Studios released the trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, a biopic that stars White, 34, as Springsteen while he records his sixth album "Nebraska." The trailer meets Springsteen recording music in a home with his guitar tech (Paul Walter Hauser) as his manager Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) persuades Columbia Records executives to let him release the stripped-back album. The movie appears to explore Springsteen's relationship with his childhood; the trailer also shows footage of The Bear star during an energetic performance of Springsteen's 1975 classic "Born To Run. The movie "chronicles the making of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 'Nebraska' album when he was a young musician on the cusp of global superstardom, struggling to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past," reads an official synopsis. "Recorded on a 4-track recorder in Springsteen's New Jersey bedroom, the album marked a pivotal time in his life and is considered one of his most enduring works—a raw, haunted acoustic record populated by lost souls searching for a reason to believe," the synopsis adds. White and Strong appeared together at CinemaCon in April to tease the movie, with White stating that making the movie "was incredible, challenging and a dream come true." "I feel really lucky. We all had Bruce's blessing," White told an audience at the time. "The film tells the story of a very pivotal moment, Bruce struggling to reconcile the pressures of success versus his past."

Bruce Springsteen's Career-Defining Hits Rock Back Onto The Charts
Bruce Springsteen is spending the warmer months of 2025 trekking across Europe, with more than a dozen dates scheduled on his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour. 2025 marks the third year of the venture, and as the rock legend returns to the U.K. for several stops, fans have been showing their enthusiasm in a very clear way. British audiences are once again demonstrating their love by purchasing not just Springsteen's classic albums, but also a number of his most iconic — and even most recent — tunes. At the moment, three of his singles (well, two singles and one very short EP that is classified in the U.K. as a single) reappear on charts in the country. None of the three earned space on the tallies where they now land until just days ago. Springsteen and the E Street Band played two dates in Liverpool in early June, after kicking off the third leg of the trek in mid-May in Manchester, and the visits have helped him immensely on the charts. Springsteen's biggest hit in the U.K. at the moment is "Dancing in the Dark." The tune is the only one of his to appear on multiple rankings this frame. It reenters the Official Singles Downloads chart at No. 74 and the Official Singles Sales list at No. 78, despite the fact that it was released more than 40 years ago. Interestingly, "Dancing in the Dark" has only spent about a month on either of these tallies, and has never cracked the top 40. "Born to Run," which preceded "Dancing in the Dark" by nearly a decade, joins its successor on the Official Singles Downloads chart. The early Springsteen smash reappears on that list — which looks only at the most downloaded tracks across the U.K. — at No. 98, just managing to find space on the 100-position ranking. This week marks only the second time "Born to Run" has ever appeared on the Official Singles Downloads chart. It previously debuted, and peaked, at No. 93. For Record Store Day 2025, Springsteen and The Killers released a joint project titled Encore at the Garden. The live recording features the two acts performing a trio of tunes together at one concert several years ago, and it was shared on a physical format for the first time as part of the music industry initiative. While it's technically an EP, the Official Charts Company categorizes it as a single, due to its length. Encore at the Garden returns to the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 73. In the half-dozen frames it has spent on the list since its release earlier this year, the brief effort has climbed as high as No. 3.

Bruce Springsteen's ‘Born To Run' Debuts On One Chart Just Before It Turns 50
Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run debuts at No. 92 on the U.K.'s Official Album Downloads chart nearly ... More 50 years after its original release. UNITED STATES - OCTOBER 11: REDBANK Photo of Bruce SPRINGSTEEN, Bruce Springsteen performing on stage - Born to Run Tour, 47 (Photo by Fin Costello/Redferns) By 1975, Bruce Springsteen was already a rock hero in his home state of New Jersey. He had charted a few successful albums, but had yet to break out and become a certified superstar. His third full-length, Born to Run, changed everything. It helped him achieve remarkable success and reach new career heights. Even five decades later, Born to Run is still regarded as not just a blockbuster, but a masterpiece in its own right. Fans all around the world are spending 2025 celebrating Born to Run and its legacy. The title is once again a bestseller, and for the first time, it appears on one important list in the United Kingdom. This week marks the first time the beloved project appears on the Official Albums Downloads chart, which ranks the top-selling full-lengths and EPs on platforms like iTunes in the U.K. Born to Run narrowly makes it to the list, opening at No. 92. Born to Run marks Springsteen's second new arrival on the Official Album Downloads chart this year alone. Just a few weeks ago, he launched his surprise live EP Land of Hope and Dreams, which debuted inside the top 10 and eventually peaked at No. 6. That project was recorded in mid-May at the opening show of the latest leg of his concert tour of the same name. The performance in Manchester sparked controversy after the rocker spoke out against U.S. President Donald Trump. Springsteen included those remarks on the live EP, which helped make it a bestseller in the U.K. Springsteen's debut on the Official Album Downloads ranking comes nearly 50 years after Born to Run first landed on the Official Albums chart, which tracks the most-consumed projects in the nation. Springsteen earned his first successful full-length in the country in November 1975. Born to Run went on to spend just under a year on the list and peaked at No. 17. At the moment, Springsteen charts six albums on at least one U.K. tally apiece. Born to Run is one of a trio — including Land of Hope and Dreams and The River — that all live on just one ranking apiece. Meanwhile, Best of, Greatest Hits, and Born in the U.S.A. appear on several rosters at once.
