Jeremy Allen White plays Bruce Springsteen making Nebraska in Scott Cooper’s film, which reached the BFI London Film Festival with Springsteen himself on the carpet.
Bruce Springsteen walked the carpet at the Royal Festival Hall on the South Bank on Wednesday 15 October 2025, for the UK premiere of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere. Jeremy Allen White, who plays him in Scott Cooper’s film, walked beside him.
White was born in Brooklyn in 1991 to two former actors and trained as a dancer before turning to acting at thirteen. He studied at the Professional Performing Arts School in Manhattan and was cast as Lip Gallagher in Shameless.
Carmy Berzatto in The Bear brought him two Emmy Awards and three Golden Globes. He played the wrestler Kerry Von Erich in The Iron Claw before Springsteen, his first mainstream lead.
Cooper wrote and directed the film from Warren Zanes’s 2023 book of the same name. It follows Springsteen in the months he spent making Nebraska, the 1982 album he recorded on a four-track machine in his New Jersey bedroom.
Jeremy Strong plays his manager Jon Landau, and Stephen Graham plays his father, Doug. The real Landau walked the London carpet beside the actor who plays him, and 20th Century Studios released the film in American cinemas on 24 October.
