“I’m really excited to see him perform,” White said, adding with a smile that Springsteen texts “like a boss.”

Just last month, Allen had told the outlet that he was “trying to have a bit of my own process ” figuring out how to play Springsteen so he could have “a bit of confidence” before the two meet in person.

“We’ve communicated a little bit through some other people, but I hope this still all comes together,” White said at the time. “We’ve still got a few things, we’ve got some timing stuff to work out, and I’m trying to have a bit of my own process with it before meeting the man, too.”

White also told Variety he is aiming to take on the vocals in Deliver Me From Nowhere himself. “We’re gonna try,” White said. “We’re gonna try our best.”

The upcoming biopic will be based on Warren Zanes’ 2023 book of the same name. Springsteen and his manager, Jon Landau, will be involved in the making of the film. White was rumored to have been cast in the film in April. The film centers on the making of Springsteen’s classic 1982 album, Nebraska . It’s being written and directed by Scott Cooper.
