    Jeremy Allen White was "very tolerant" of Bruce Springsteen on the set of Deliver Me From Nowhere

    The 34-year-old actor portrays Springsteen in the upcoming biographical movie, and the rock legend has revealed that Jeremy was gracious during his visits to the film's set


    Springsteen, 75, 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 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."

    Springsteen is one of the best-selling artists of all time, but he still suffers from stage fright.

    He previously explained to the Guardian newspaper: "You work on an album in a hermetically sealed environment. One of the most frightening things is playing it for someone else. For the first time you're hearing it through their ears.

    "They're just sitting there, but you're hearing the thing totally brand new through their ears. And you're recognising all its faults and all its strengths. So the thing about coming out in front of an audience every night is that I'm hearing what I'm doing through that audience's ears."

    Springsteen learned how to play in big stadiums after years of touring.

    He shared: "It's all about making that initial connection with the audience. If you do that, the folks at the back will feel it, the folks in the middle will feel it, the folks at the front will feel it.

    "If you go out there and you can't imagine that connection, it's not going to happen, and then you're going to have a miserable few hours. That's when you think, 'OK. I'm a fraud.'"
