Bruce Springsteen met actor Jeremy Allen White, with the actor dressed as the Boss in the ‘80s, on the set of the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere.
White – star of The Bear – plays Springsteen during his Nebraska era in the movie, which recently began shooting and is expected to be released next year.
TMZ revealed a series of pictures that showed the pair sharing a hug before falling deep into conversation – presumably with a lot to say to each other.

Earlier this year White said he’d been deliberately avoiding Springsteen, explaining: “We’ve communicated a little bit through some other people … I’m trying to have a bit of my own process with it before meeting the man, too.”
“I wanna try to have an understanding, so when I meet him, I’ll have a bit of confidence somewhere in me to stand there.”
How Bruce Springsteen Knew Jeremy Allen White Was Right for Biopic
More recently, Springsteen and longtime manager-producer Jon Landau discussed White’s casting, with Landau telling the Telegraph that the actor faced a steep challenge in “depicting a very interior person.”
He added: “There’s always a tremendous amount going on, some of which gets articulated, and some of which is held back.”
Springsteen himself said: “I only had to see him on The Bear, and I knew he was the right guy, because he had that interior life – but he also had a little swagger.”
