Bruce Springsteen praises Jeremy Allen White's portrayal of him in biopic

New York, Oct 5 (UNI) Americn singer-songwriter Bruce Springsteen expressed wholehearted admiration for Jeremy Allen White's performance in the forthcoming biopic "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" during a screening at Alice Tully Hall at the New York Film Festival.
The 76-year-old rock legend acknowledged the dedication of the cast and crew, singling out White, who embodies a younger, formative version of Springsteen.
"I want to thank everybody for coming out to see our film tonight and our crew, a great cast. Jeremy Allen White for putting his whole heart and soul into the part, just such a wonderful job, and for playing a much better-looking version of me. I'm really thankful for that," Springsteen remarked.
The film chronicles the creation of Springsteen's iconic 1982 album "Nebraska", charting his journey as a burgeoning artist on the cusp of global stardom, grappling with the burdens of fame while confronting the ghosts of his past.
While at Sunday's premiere, White, 34, told PEOPLE that he asked the "Dancing in the Dark" singer "really direct" questions early on in the production process.
"'Why this film? Why this period?' And even what happened on this journey, on this road trip, in really specific moments. And he was immediately so honest," White recalled.
"He talked to me about a panic attack he'd had, and he described it to me as in this moment he felt like he was like a voyeur in his own life," The Bear star added. "He was an observer. He felt so outside of himself, and he told me that story, and that's a feeling I'm familiar with."
Springsteen performed "Land of Hope and Dreams" after the movie was screened on Sunday, after having included other cast members, producers, directors and the 20th Century Studios in his lengthy list of praise.
His remarks included thoughts on the portrayal of his manager, Jon Landau.
"Jeremy Strong for his creativity and his inspiration," the singer said, heaping praise on another person in his list of thanks. "He had us on the phone all hours of the night just with different ideas, and he played a much, much better-looking Jon Landau, so we appreciate that very much."
