Before Jeremy Allen White plays Bruce Springsteen in his biopic, Deliver Me from Nowhere, The Bear star wants to meet the Boss. However, they have not met face-to-face yet.
Talking to Variety on the red carpet for The Bear Season 3, White said he has communicated with Springsteen through other people. But he hopes to meet him eventually.
“We've communicated a little bit through some other people, but I hope this still all comes together,” he said. “We've still got a few things, we've got some timing stuff to work out, and I'm trying to have a bit of my own process with it before meeting the man, too.
“I wanna try to have an understanding, so when I meet him, I'll have a bit of confidence somewhere in me to stand there,” he continued.
When asked if he hopes to do the singing in the Bruce Springsteen biopic, Jeremy Allen White said “We're gonna try our best.”
In some biopics, most notably Rocketman, the actors will sing the songs of the legends they are playing. Springsteen is known for his iconic gruff voice. He has also written some of the biggest rock songs ever such as “Born to Run.”
So, trying to mimic the Boss may be easier said than done. Fans will have to wait until the trailer for Deliver Me from Nowhere to see how White does if he does try to do it.
