A rare feat. Sunday evening, Jeremy Allen White received, for the third year in a row, the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Comedy TV Series for his role in “The Bear”. He is only the third to achieve this hat-trick after Michael J. Fox (“Spin City”) and Alan Alda (“M*A*S*H”). At the same time, the actor also seen in “Iron Claw” or “Shameless”, is preparing for the most important role of his career: playing Bruce Springsteen on the big screen. Adapted from the book of the same name released in 2023, the biopic “Deliver Me From Nowehere” will focus on the recording of the Boss’ intimate album “Nebraska”, released in 1982 two years before the triumphant “Born in the USA”. The choice of Jeremy Allen White, sex symbol for an entire generation, to play the American rocker may seem surprising but it is unanimous. And in particular with the main person concerned.
