"In two weeks, Jeremy Allen White's portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere will be global, and he says the role is "the biggest challenge I've had yet." There are many reasons why White feels that way; he has to find a way to make cinephiles, music lovers, Springsteen fans, and Bruce himself happy with his portrayal of the "Born in the USA" singer. It's a huge pressure to carry, but that's why they call Bruce "The Boss.""
"I knew I would be coming in between Bruce Springsteen and these fans that he has amassed decade after decade after decade," White tells CBS Sunday Mornings in an extended interview. "There's a real purity to the relationship between specifically musicians and their audiences and their fans... At the beginning, I was approaching it like, How am I going to make everybody happy? At a certain point, I realized that's a fool's errand."
