Actor Jeremy Allen White has said singer Bruce Springsteen gave him his clothes and a guitar to play him in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.<\/p>\n

The 34-year-old said Springsteen\u2019s jeans were \u201cvery snug\u201d and revealed the Born In The USA singer visited the set of the biopic, in an interview with actress Kate Hudson for US outlet Variety.<\/p>\n

Asked how it felt to wear Springsteen\u2019s clothes, White said: \u201cI felt like I had to stop eating. It was all really helpful \u2013 the boots, the jeans, the jackets.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was tight and really informed the physicality. It messed with my posture. Bruce also gave us clothing he wore as a young man, some of his actual pieces\u2026<\/p>\n

\"An<\/a>\"Sixth<\/a>\"JeremyJeremy Allen White said Bruce Springsteen visited the set of the film (Ian West\/PA) <\/p>\n

\u201cI haven\u2019t talked about this yet because it feels so precious, but he did give me his St Christopher medal that he had for a very long time, and he gave me a guitar to learn to play, a 1955 Gibson J 200.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hudson, who is also due to star in a music film in Song Sung Blue, which sees her play Claire Sardina, a member of Neil Diamond tribute band Lightning And Thunder, revealed she also had the same guitar, calling it \u201cmy favourite\u201d.<\/p>\n

She also asked White how involved Springsteen was in the film, to which he replied: \u201cBruce gave the go-ahead for our director, Scott Cooper, to do this movie but was hands-off during the writing process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got together with him first in London, at Wembley, I got invited to soundcheck. He brought me up on stage prior to everybody coming in.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe spent a few weeks together and then he was on set all the time, which was not something that we knew going into it.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how he felt taking on the musical side of the film, US actor White said he was \u201cin luck, because there were very few chords used\u201d on Springsteen\u2019s 1982 album Nebraska, which is covered in the film.<\/p>\n

White added: \u201cHe\u2019s so honest in all of his music, there\u2019s so much specificity in his writing. The canvas of Nebraska is so rich with himself and his experience. It was like I had a map.\u201d<\/p>\n

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, which follows the singer\u2019s personal and professional struggles while making Nebraska, is out now in cinemas in the UK and Ireland.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Actor Jeremy Allen White has said singer Bruce Springsteen gave him his clothes and a guitar to play…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":191863,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[21748,93,61,60,28305,270,1576,62105,1577,30920],"class_list":{"0":"post-191862","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-bruce-springsteen","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-ie","11":"tag-ireland","12":"tag-jeremy-allen-white","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-showbiz","15":"tag-springsteen-deliver-me-from-nowhere","16":"tag-uk","17":"tag-variety"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191862","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=191862"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/191862\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/191863"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=191862"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=191862"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=191862"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
