Jeremy Allen White reveals why playing Bruce Springsteen was ‘daunting’
Jeremy Allen White recently got candid and revealed what he felt while playing Bruce Springsteen.
The 34-year-old American actor appeared on the WTF podcast, where he shared that he did not have enough musical training before he agreed to play the legendary singer-songwriter and guitarist in his biopic Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.
While conversing with his costar Marc Maron, who is playing Chuck Plotkin in the forthcoming biographical musical drama film written and directed by Scott Cooper, White spilled the tea on playing Springsteen before the man himself.
He said, “I had not had a lot of experience, or any experience, singing or playing guitar, so that was daunting to say the least in the beginning.”
The Mandalorian and Grogu noted that during the filming, Springsteen “couldn’t tell the difference” between their vocals at times for which he gave credit to vocal coach Eric Vetro, whose assistance in mastering the Glory Days crooner’s voice played a crucial role.
“He helped Austin [Butler] with the Elvis movie, he helped Timothée Chalamet with the [Bob] Dylan movie, he’s kind of the go-to, and he works with a lot of vocalists and real singers and performers,” White quipped.
Despite constant coaching from Vetro, he admitted “the singing was a gamble” and the phrasing on the 1982 record Nebraska was hard to get right.
“I remember Bruce was great the first time he heard one of my pre-records ’cause he was like, ‘You sound like me, but you’re singing the song, you’re making the song your own. You’ve got your connection to the song.’ And I think once he gave me that permission, not just with the music, but in a sense the entirety of the film, I feel like that released me a little bit from the anxiety,” Jeremy Allen White recalled.
It is pertinent to mention that Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere is scheduled to be released on October 24, 2025.
Demi Moore is continuing her remarkable career resurgence, signing on for the new culinary thriller Tyrant alongside Charlize Theron and Julia Garner.
Variety broke the news exclusively, reporting that Moore has accepted a key role in the high-stakes film set within New York City’s elite fine dining scene.
David Weil, known for Amazon series Hunters and Invasion, will write and direct, working from a script he developed with Cody Behan.
Production is expected to begin within weeks in Los Angeles, having secured a California Film Tax Credit.
The film will be produced by Theron alongside her Secret Menu partners Beth Kono and A.J. Dix, as well as The Picture Company’s Alex Heineman and Andrew Rona.
Weil produces with partner Natalie Laine Williams, with Stan Wlodkowski serving as executive producer.
Moore arrives at this project on the back of one of the strongest periods of her career.
Her performance in The Substance, in which she played a fading star who takes a mysterious drug to reclaim her youth, earned her a Golden Globe and a Critics Choice Award, as well as an Oscar nomination.
She will next be seen in Boots Riley’s I Love Boosters in late May, and currently stars in the top-rated Taylor Sheridan series Landman.
United States (U.S.) Navy has effectively implemented the naval blockade of Iran and has turned back nine ships in just the first 48 hours of the blockade.
The blockade was announced by the U.S. President Donald Trump after Iran and U.S. officials failed to reach an agreement during Islamabad Talks, on Sunday, in Pakistan.
In an update on Wednesday, April 15, 2025, the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) that vessel reversed course without the need to fire shots, adding that at least five of those ships were carrying oil.
CENTCOM Commander Admiral Brad Cooper said that an estimated 90% of the Iranian economy is fueled by trade through sea, adding, “U.S. forces have completely halted economic trade going into and out of Iran by sea.”
Thousands of U.S. service members, including 5,000 Sailors and Marines from the Abraham Lincoln Carrier Strike Group, are carrying out operations to enforce the blockade of ships entering and departing Iranian ports.
CENTCOM said: “U.S. forces are present, vigilant, and ready to ensure compliance.”
It warned that the American forces were ready to act against any vessel trying to violate the blockade.
Pakistan, acting as a mediator, is attempting to secure a cessation of hostilities between both countries and have intensified its diplomatic efforts. Field Marshal Syed Asim Munir arrived in Tehran to arrange a second round of talks.
Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif also embarked on an official diplomatic visit to Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkiye in a bid to end the Iran war.
