Bruce Springsteen paid a visit to Jeremy Allen White — who was in character as ’80s-era Springsteen — on the set of upcoming biopic “Deliver Me From Nowhere.”
The two were photographed in Bayonne, N.J. on Monday as Allen White and director Scott Cooper filmed a scene at what looks like a car dealership parking lot. Springsteen and Allen White were spotted hugging and checking out some classic cars, including a Chevrolet Z28 Camaro, which Springsteen has said was the first car he ever bought.
Allen White is playing Springsteen during the making of his 1982 album “Nebraska.” Filming is taking place primarily in Springsteen’s native New Jersey and New York, with additional production in Los Angeles. The movie, hailing from Disney’s 20th Century Studios, is set to hit theaters next year.
Last week, a first-look image of Allen White as Springsteen was revealed, showing “The Bear” star rocking The Boss’ signature flannel and leather jacket. Allen White was sporting a similar outfit on set during Springsteen’s visit, while Springsteen wore a red-and-white-checked peacoat, cream-colored scarf and shades.
Springsteen and his longtime manager, Jon Landau, are closely involved with “Deliver Me From Nowhere.” In May, Variety reported that “Succession” star Jeremy Strong is in talks to portray Landau.
“It is a once-in-a-lifetime honor to be collaborating with Bruce Springsteen, an inspiring and incomparable artist who represents so much to so many,” Disney Live Action and 20th Century Studios president David Greenbaum said in a statement when the film landed at the studio. “The deep authenticity of his story is in great hands with my friend Scott Cooper whom I am thrilled to be collaborating with once again.”
