- Jeremy Allen White is portraying Bruce Springsteen in the new biographical film, Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.
- The film focuses on the musician's process of crafting his seminal country-folk album, Nebraska.
- White, who has blue eyes, wore specially hand-painted brown contact lenses with small weights for close-up shots to match Springsteen's eye colour.
- He described the unusual experience of wearing the contacts, which required eye drops every 20 minutes, and how his eldest daughter was initially upset by the change.
- Springsteen has been supportive of the project, watching some of White's performance on set and acknowledging his role as an interpreter.
