Stephen Graham Moved by Bruce Springsteen's Praise for Biopic

British actor Stephen Graham expressed deep emotion after receiving a heartfelt text from Bruce Springsteen, praising his performance as Springsteen's late father, Douglas 'Dutch' Springsteen, in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me from Nowhere. During an interview on the podcast Soundtracking, Graham shared that Springsteen's message, describing it as 'better than any award,' conveyed a powerful sentiment, stating it made him feel as if he had reunited with his father. The film explores the making of Springsteen's iconic 1982 album Nebraska, with Jeremy Allen White portraying the musician. Graham, who wore prosthetics for the role, noted the significance of Springsteen's praise, highlighting the emotional connection they shared regarding their complex father-son relationships. Furthermore, Graham mentioned that Springsteen had expressed admiration for his earlier work in the film This Is England, and they discussed themes from Springsteen's memoir, Born to Run. Deliver Me from Nowhere is set to be released later this year.
