Bruce Springsteen: The boss hugs his biopic actor

The boss checks on the set of his biopic to make sure everything is portrayed authentically. Bruce Springsteen (75) attended the filming of the film “Deliver Me From Nowhere” on Monday, which is taking place in his home state of New Jersey. Photos show how the rock star hugs actor Jeremy Allen White (33). The actor, who became known as the lead actor in the acclaimed series “The Bear”, portrays the famous musician in the early 80s in the film.

Jeremy Allen White was outfitted in an archetypal rock star outfit as Springsteen. He wore a black leather jacket over dark skinny jeans. Plus cowboy boots, also in black of course. The real rock star, on the other hand, looked casual. Bruce Springsteen wore a jacket with a red and gray check pattern. The blue, faded jeans cut significantly wider than his fictional 1982 version, Jeremy Allen White.

Additional images from the set show Bruce Springsteen and Jeremy Allen White also inspecting an old car that the younger Springsteen drives in the film. Director Scott Cooper (54) was also there, showing the famous guest around. With films like the working class thriller “An Eye for an Eye” with Christian Bale (50), Cooper is predestined for a film about Bruce Springsteen. In “Crazy Heart,” director Jeff Bridges (74) won the Oscar in the role of a (fictional) washed-up singer.

“Deliver Me From Nowhere” is about the making of the album “Nebraska”, Bruce Springsteen’s 1982 masterpiece. Springsteen recorded the songs on it in his bedroom, the singer accompanying himself only with guitar and harmonica. The songs were originally intended as demos for his E Street Band, but the boss ended up releasing them in their unique, minimalist form.

However, “Nebraska” sold worse than Springsteen’s later albums, such as “Born in the USA” (1984). Among critics, the LP is considered one of his best works alongside “Born to Run” (1975).
