Actor Jeremy Allen White Earns High School Diploma at 34
23 Oct
Summary
- Jeremy Allen White, 34, recently received his high school diploma
- His former drama teacher presented him with the diploma at a film festival
- White had skipped classes and never graduated as a teenager
In a surprising turn of events, 34-year-old actor Jeremy Allen White has achieved the milestone of graduating high school. The revelation came during a recent appearance on the talk show Live with Kelly and Mark, where White shared the details of his unconventional educational journey.
As a teenager, White had attended a drama-focused high school in Manhattan, but he struggled to stay engaged, often skipping classes and never completing the necessary credits to graduate. "I had a hard time paying attention," White admitted, "and I would just leave at lunch and I would never come back."
It wasn't until last month, at the New York Film Festival premiere of his new movie Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere, that White's former drama teacher, Greg Parente, presented him with his long-awaited high school diploma. Parente, who had remained friends with White over the years, also happens to be a huge Bruce Springsteen fan, which is why White had invited him to the event.
