Free me from nowhereTHE Jeremy Allen White– in the main roles Bruce Springsteen biopic, just released a first look photo and I think I saw it on the PATH train last week. Maybe it’s just that there’s no way to make the “Bruce Springsteen costume” particularly remarkable—he mostly just wears normal people’s clothes and doesn’t have distinctive facial features like a iconic mustache. White has a bit more bangs than normal, but otherwise, it’s not a particularly transformative role for him. What exactly should Springsteen fans get excited about?

This photo looks like the only non-selfie on Tinder of a bro from Jersey. It’s a “paparazzi shoot with Jeremy Allen White going to meet Rosalía.” You know, “a guy”. And that’s not necessarily inappropriate for a Springsteen movie! Based on the book of the same name by Warren Zanes, it does not cover Born in the USA was with his iconic denim and bandana look, but the writing of Nebraskaa haunting, stripped-down narrative. If you can’t love him during his blues, you don’t deserve him as a broken rock star.
