Jeremy Allen White, Bruce Springsteen Hug on Deliver Me From Nowhere Set

by

As someone who has grown up with Bruce Springsteen’s music echoing in my ears and his stories resonating within my soul, I must say that seeing Jeremy Allen White as The Boss in “Deliver Me From Nowhere” feels like a dream come true. It’s like the universe has conspired to create a perfect blend of time, talent, and authenticity.

In terms of embodying a cool American vibe, Bruce Springsteen is often the first person that pops into people’s heads. Known as The Boss, he has been mesmerizing audiences worldwide with his powerful rock tunes, introspective lyrics, and casual jeans-and-t-shirt look. Currently, it seems like no one embodies this coolness quite like Jeremy Allen White, star of The Bear, who is portraying the singer in Scott Cooper’s biopic titled Deliver Me From Nowhere.

Over the weekend, I couldn’t help but feel a rush of excitement when I unexpectedly witnessed Bruce Springsteen greet the cast and crew on the Bayonne, New Jersey set. It was none other than him, taking a peek at how they were progressing with bringing his life story to the silver screen! (As reported by British GQ>)

First Look at Jeremy Allen White as Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere

White’s first appearance might have left some Bruce Springsteen enthusiasts puzzled. Yet, observing him in full Bruce attire clarifies why the actor from ‘Shameless’ was chosen for the part. Honestly, he looks quite stylish, and to add a bit of my opinion, he truly embodies the kind of New Jersey man who would frequent Bayonne, New Jersey.

Clad in a vintage leather biker jacket, showing signs of use befitting “The Boss”, dark denim jeans, and black leather footwear, White seems perfectly cast as a rough-and-tumble kid from New Jersey chasing fame in the music scene. The upcoming biographical film Deliver Me From Nowhere promises to recount Springsteen’s experiences during the early ’80s while recording the album Nebraska. This movie is adapted from Warren Zanes’ book, Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making Of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska (1982).

Although not his most famous or recognized work, Nebraska marked a significant change for Springsteen. He primarily recorded the songs himself using a 4-track recorder, planning to rerecord them later with his E-Street Band. However, he opted to release the album in its raw form, complete with demo recordings. The mood of the tracks is predominantly somber, focusing on the hardships of the working class that many Americans can empathize with. It’s an introspective, low-fi rock album, and the process of creating it was a unique milestone in Springsteen’s career.

As a movie enthusiast, I can’t help but feel that the narrative of this tale would resonate deeply with directors like Scott Cooper, who has openly expressed his profound connection to America and its intricate issues in past conversations. In an interview with Why Now, he articulated it beautifully by stating, “America is an unbelievably complex land, more so today than ever before. It’s a nation that was birthed from a struggle for freedom, yet that freedom has come at a heavy price.

He further explained: “This country is steeped in sorrow and violence, and for an artist who isn’t shy about addressing such themes, as I am not, it provides the foundation for powerful drama and tragedy. It also helps me comprehend my origins. I want to explore the cultural and socio-economic factors that shaped me into the person I am, my family, their transformation, and how these American forces impact us all in our daily lives. Therefore, I strive to unearth social commentary in a subtle manner.
