Jeremy Allen White channels Springsteen in new photo
In the released photo, White channels Springsteen's classic look, donning a leather jacket layered over a checked shirt, with tousled dark hair grazing his ears. While he nails the rocker's signature style, social media users are divided on whether White truly resembles the legendary musician.
One user on X expressed, ''I'm sorry, I love JAW and I'm sure he'll do great, but he looks nothing like Bruce Springsteen and I think this is such a weird casting choice' Many others on social media echoed this sentiment, highlighting the divide over White's casting.
The biopic, 'Deliver Me From Nowhere,' will delve into the creation of Bruce Springsteen's 1982 album Nebraska. Filming primarily takes place in New York and New Jersey, with select scenes set in Los Angeles. Alongside White, the cast features Jeremy Strong, Odessa Young, and Stephen Graham.
White, who was confirmed as the lead in April 2024, shared with 'Deadline' that Springsteen himself has been supportive throughout the shoot, offering personal insights to help White capture the musician’s essence.
