Fans of The Bear star Jeremy Allen White were in for a surprise when set pictures from his latest project were released. The 33-year-old actor will be playing the legendary Bruce Springsteen in an upcoming biopic based on Warren Zanes' book about the singer's life. Directed by Scott Cooper, the film is titled Deliver Me From Nowhere and is set in the 1980s during the making of Bruce's iconic album, Nebraska.
Jeremy has fully immersed himself in the role, even going as far as wearing the same boots and denim as 1980s Bruce. In the recently released set pictures, the actor can be seen sporting a leather jacket, denim jeans, and heeled boots in Bayonne, New Jersey. But it was his new look that caught everyone's attention. Jeremy was seen donning dark brown contact lenses, completely covering his signature baby blue eyes, to fully embody the iconic singer.
Fans were quick to express their shock and horror at the transformation. Entertainment account Bustle shared a close-up of Jeremy's new look on Instagram, accompanied by the caption, "I don't know who this man is" - a quote from actress and singer Keke Palmer. Fans flooded the comments section with their reactions, with one saying, "This is terrifying. I'm gonna have nightmares about this tonight." Another fan exclaimed, "HOLLYWOOD YOU'VE GONE TOO FAR," while someone else simply stated, "Thanks, I hate it."
But it wasn't just the fans who were surprised by Jeremy's transformation. The real Bruce Springsteen himself joined the actor on set, where they were seen hugging in what appears to be a car dealership parking lot. The 75-year-old singer has given his seal of approval to Jeremy, stating that he knew he was the right guy for the role after seeing him on The Bear. "He had that interior life, but he also had a little swagger," Bruce said.
The film also boasts an impressive cast, with Stephen Graham playing record producer and Bruce's mentor, Jon Landau. Johnny Cannizzaro will take on the role of E Street Band member Stevie Van Zandt, while Paul Walter Hauser will play guitar tech Mike Batlan. Rising star Odessa Young will also feature in the film as Faye.
Director Scott Cooper expressed his excitement about the project, stating that the album's raw and unvarnished portrayal of life's trials and resilience resonates deeply with him. He aims to capture that same spirit in the film and bring Warren Zanes' compelling narrative to the screen with authenticity and hope, honoring Bruce's legacy in a transformative cinematic experience.
Fans can expect to see Deliver Me From Nowhere in theaters next year.
