Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" Biopic Receives Praise from Bruce Springsteen at New York Film Festival Screening
Bruce Springsteen expressed his gratitude for the portrayal of himself in the upcoming biopic "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" during a screening at the New York Film Festival. He commended Jeremy Allen White for his performance in the movie, joking that White played a "much better looking version" of him. The film delves into the making of Springsteen's 1982 album "Nebraska" and his struggles with success and his past.
White, who plays Springsteen in the movie, shared that he asked the singer direct questions about the film's significance and specific moments in his life. Springsteen candidly opened up about personal experiences, including a panic attack that made him feel like an observer in his own life. White found a connection to this feeling and used it to enhance his portrayal of Springsteen in the film.
After the screening, Springsteen performed "Land of Hope and Dreams" and thanked the cast, producers, directors, and 20th Century Studios for their contributions to the movie. He praised Jeremy Strong for his creativity and portrayal of his manager, Jon Landau. "Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere" is set to hit theaters on October 24.
