Jeremy Allen White on 'Springsteen' Role & Bruce's Approval

Jeremy Allen White is preparing for Thanksgiving, contributing to a large friend's gathering with his signature green bean casserole. His culinary skills have gained attention since his acclaimed role as Carmy in "The Bear," leading to increased pressure and scrutiny.

White is currently generating awards buzz for his portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," a drama focusing on the making of the "Nebraska" album. He shares that Springsteen was deeply impressed by his singing, even mistaking it for his own at first, a reaction that provided White with crucial early permission for his performance. He also voices Rotta, Jabba the Hutt's son, in the upcoming "The Mandalorian & Grogu" feature, a project he specifically chose so his daughters could see it.

Additionally, White is set to appear in Aaron Sorkin's "The Social Reckoning," a sequel to "The Social Network." He voices Wall Street Journal reporter Jeff Horwitz, a role that required no interaction with the real person. White also reflects on his struggles with social media addiction, sharing his concerns about its impact on his children and hoping for a future shift away from constant online engagement among younger generations.
