'The Bear' Star Jeremy Allen White Shares His Daughters' Reactions to Fans Calling Him 'Chef' (Exclusive)

Jeremy Allen White's work on The Bear has garnered him the nickname "Chef" by fans -- but his daughters might be too young to understand why just yet.

On Tuesday at theEl Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, the 33-year-old actor walked the red carpet at the premiere of FX's culinary dramedy series ' third season, and spoke with ET's Cassie DiLaura about how his young daughters, Ezer, 5, and Dolores, 3, feel about fans running up to their dad and calling him "Chef."

"It's confusing and strange," White admitted, "but they know about the show."

That being said, White explained that his two girls -- whom he shares with ex-wife Addison Timlin -- "haven't seen the show" just yet.

"Well my oldest, Ezzy, actually, she really enjoys the first like two minutes of the pilot episode, which is just me getting scared by a bear and then falling on my butt," White said with a laugh, referring to a dream sequence from the show's first moments in season one. "She'll ask to watch that a lot! But that's all of the show she's seen."

When it comes to how old he feels his girls will have to be to actually watch The Bear , White told ET, "I don't know if we're even ready to have that conversation."

At Tuesday's premiere, White looked chic in a tan linen suit, white button-down shirt and a black tie as he posed for photos on the carpet, and marveled at getting the opportunity to actually celebrate the release of the new season.

"We didn't get to do this last year, [with the] strikes going on, and so the only time we've done a premiere is for season one -- and that was before the show came out," he explained. "So there was certainly nobody doing any of this when we did our first season! So it's beautiful."

While The Bear has its legion of fans and long trail of awards and accolades, many fans are getting excited for White's portrayal of Bruce Springsteen in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere .

The movie is set to follow Springsteen as he crafts his iconic album, Nebraska, with the E Street Band. The film will be an adaptation of Warren Zanes' 2023 book, Deliver Me From Nowhere: The Making of Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska. The album was Springsteen's sixth studio album and was released in 1982 to critical acclaim.

According to White, the film is coming along, and he's been gearing up to take on the role, but has yet to meet withSpringsteen personally.

"I haven't talked to him," White said. "We're still kind of putting it all together. We're hoping to go later this year, but there's definitely some things that we're still trying to get into place."

"But yeah, you know, I'm picking up the guitar and I'm trying to learn all the stuff," White added.

The film is being helmed by Crazy Heart director Scott Cooper and is being produced by former Netflix chairman Scott Stuber. The arthouse, Oscar-producing film company A24 is in talks for the movie. Springsteen and his manager, Jon Landau, are also "actively involved" in the project, according to Deadline .
