Bruce Springsteen and Director Scott Cooper Explain Why Jeremy Allen White Was the Only Option for Biopic | Video Plus, author Warren Zanes calls the Deliver Me From Nowhere team pure pipe dream stuff @ 10:16 AM on socials on Facebook on X (formerly Twitter) on LinkedIn on Email Bruce Springsteen, Jeremy Allen White for “Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere” (20th Century Studios) When it came time to cast someone to play Bruce Springsteen in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, there was no option other than Jeremy Allen White and thats coming from The Boss, himself. Id been watching The Bear and there was some sort of physical resemblance, some sort of the way he carried himself, the legendary musician d in a 20th Century Studios featurette. (wild, right?)

And then there was the way the camera read his internal life.

The Details

Two of the things that Jeremy has that I thought were critical is humility and swagger, director Scott Cooper agreed. They dont teach swagger at Juilliard you either have it or you dont and Jeremy has it.

And he has this kind of quiet confidence that Bruce has that I thought would allow him to perfectly embody all of the complexities that I needed. The Bear actor stars alongside Jeremy Strong, Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham and Odessa Young in the musical biopic.

Why This Matters

It was ultimately a cast and crew that original book author Warren Zanes called pure pipe dream stuff. Play video Scott called me and he told me a little bit about the story, that we wanted to make a film that is about the musician, but its a snapshot, this period of Bruces life, Allen White recalled. Jeremy has this kind of natural, lived-in presence, apart from what I see as a physical resemblance of Bruce in 1981 and 82, Cooper continued.

This is exactly the kind of news that gets fans excited or concerned.

Key Takeaways

• So much so that Bruces wife Patti, when she saw him on set, dropped, Oh my god, Bruce.
• Looks like when I first met you.

The Bottom Line

So much so that Bruces wife Patti, when she saw him on set, dropped, Oh my god, Bruce. Looks like when I first met you.
