Bruce Springsteen Shocked by Jeremy Allen White’s Incredible Performance in Upcoming Biopic!

by

Gaby Hoffman discusses the acting of Jeremy Allen White in the upcoming biopic movie “Deliver Me From Nowhere,” which is based on the life of music legend Bruce Springsteen and focuses on his creation of the 1982 album “Nebraska.” Directed by Scott Cooper, the film also stars The Bear’s White as the lead character. Hoffmann portrays Adele Springsteen, Bruce’s mother. Apart from White and Hoffman, the movie boasts a talented ensemble cast including Stephen Graham, Paul Walter Hauser, Jeremy Strong, and Marc Maron.

In a chat with ScreenRant about Poker Face season 2, Hoffmann provides insights on White’s acting as Bruce. Since her scenes were shot with a younger version of the character, she didn’t get to witness Hoffman (as Bruce). However, she shared Springsteen’s initial reaction to White’s performance, mentioning that he was astonished, believing it wasn’t his own voice he was hearing. She expressed that White gave an exceptional performance. Here is the exact quote from Hoffmann:

“Bruce Springsteen couldn’t believe what he was hearing wasn’t his own voice, because [White] really went for it.

Unfortunately, I don’t know when the release date is scheduled. However, I regret that I couldn’t witness Jeremy’s portrayal of Bruce as I played his mother in flashback sequences, and since I wasn’t present during filming in New York, I missed out on seeing him perform. But I’ve only heard amazing things about his performance, which doesn’t come as a surprise at all. I can’t confirm this, but I might as well share – I even heard that Bruce was astonished when he heard Jeremy sing, thinking it wasn’t his own voice! It seems like everyone’s expectations will be met, given Jeremy’s exceptional acting skills and the dedication he showed in his role. Being a part of that film and this significant chapter in Bruce’s life was an extraordinary privilege for me, and I cherished every moment of it.

What This Means For Deliver Me From Nowhere

Springsteen Has Provided A Reaction Before

I myself can affirm that Hoffmann’s quote isn’t the sole insight into Springsteen’s response regarding the biopic. Earlier this year, the musician shared his thoughts about it with Sirius XM, expressing admiration for White by stating that he “sings very well“. However, Hoffmann’s quote takes this praise a step further, remarking on the convincing vocal mimicry that White displayed on set, leaving Springsteen genuinely amazed. In his previous interview, Springsteen was equally complimentary of the entire Deliver Me From Nowhere cast, describing them as “a tremendous group of talented individuals.

In the film “Deliver Me From Nowhere“, White’s acting will either elevate or diminish the overall production, given that it focuses on Springsteen and his music. Like in movies such as “Rocketman” and other musical biopics, the songs play a significant role in appealing to the audience. Therefore, it is crucial for White to excel in his singing performance, as he has demonstrated his acting skills through previous projects like “The Bear“, “The Iron Claw“, and “Shameless” but not his vocal abilities. Preliminary reviews suggest that he has managed to pull it off convincingly.

Our Take On This Deliver Me From Nowhere News

It Has A Recent Powerhouse Film To Be Compared To

I’m eagerly anticipating the release of “Deliver Me From Nowhere” this October. This upcoming biopic follows closely on the heels of “A Complete Unknown,” the Bob Dylan biopic that dropped last Christmas in 2024, for which Timothée Chalamet received a Best Actor nomination. The first film was widely praised, setting high expectations for this Springsteen biopic to meet and exceed. The buzz about White’s performance is encouraging, but we’ll have to wait and see as the countdown to “Deliver Me From Nowhere” continues.
