Bruce Springsteen has recently shared his thoughts on Stephen Graham’s portrayal of his late father in the forthcoming biopic.
In a candid interview with The Times, the musician praised Stephen for depicting his father in the movie adaptation of 2023 book, Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen’s Nebraska.
Bruce shared that after watching Stephen portraying his father “was a little otherworldly, and also quite touching”.
The Dancing in the Dark singer didn’t give away more details about the upcoming movie, which is going to release in theatres in October.
Earlier this year, Stephen mentioned that he was brought to tears by Bruce who texted him a “beautiful” message about his performance in the movie.
The Adolescence star said, “He’s a working-class hero. He’s an icon to thousands, to millions. And his text just said, ‘Thank you so much. You know, my father passed away a while ago and I felt like I saw him today and thank you for giving me that memory.’”
Bruce’s comments came shortly after an interview with Rolling Stone, in which the singer opened up that he had occasionally visited the set during shooting.
“I’m sure it’s much worse for the actor than for me,” remarked the 75-year-old musician.
Bruce stated, “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, Jeremy was wonderfully tolerant with me being there. And it was just fun. It was enjoyable,” he added
