Jeremy Allen White is no stranger to viral fame, but even he wasn’t prepared for the meme explosion following The Bear’s latest season. From endless edits of his intense kitchen stares to emotional fan tributes, White admits he's seen it all — and he’s loving it. “They get so creative with those,” he laughs, acknowledging the passionate community surrounding the series.
But it wasn’t just The Bear that had his phone lighting up. The trailer for Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, in which he plays a central role, “absolutely blew up” his inbox. “I’ve never had so many people text me about a trailer before,” White says, clearly moved by the early reaction. It’s a big year for the actor, and based on the hype, he’s ready to serve up more than just great performances.
