Jeremy Allen White has felt the "pressure" of playing Bruce Springsteen in Deliver Me From Nowhere

During an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, the actor explained: "Getting that out, it was so much pressure.

"You're playing a real person - nevermind Bruce Springsteen - and I was really touched [when] the trailer came out. I had more texts than when I blacked out and won that Golden Globe [for The Bear]."

Jeremy admitted to being surprised by the level of interest in the trailer.

The actor - who also played Phillip 'Lip' Gallagher in Shameless, the hit comedy-drama series, from 2011 until 2021 - said: "I didn't realise trailers were that big of a thing."

Earlier this month, Bruce observed that Jeremy was "very tolerant" of him on the set of the biopic.

The rock legend revealed that Jeremy was gracious during his visits to the film's set.

Springsteen, 75 - who is one of the best-selling artists of all time - told Rolling Stone magazine: "Jeremy Allen White was very, very tolerant of me the days that I would appear on the set.

"I said to him, 'Look, anytime I'm in the way, just give me the look and I'm on my way home.' So the days that I got out there, he was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable."

The new movie explores "some of the most painful days" of Springsteen's life.

And the chart-topping star actually made a conscious effort to avoid the film's set on certain days.

He explained: "I mean, there's some unusualness to it because the movie involves, in some ways, some of the most painful days of my life.

"If there was a scene coming up that was sometimes really deeply personal, I wanted the actors to feel completely free, and I didn't want to get in the way, and so I would just stay at home."
