During an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE at the Gotham Awards in New York City, the two-time Emmy winner shared that the harmonica-driven track 'Mansion on the Hill' was the song he repeatedly turned to. White explained that the song helped him connect deeply with the emotional core of the film, and whenever he felt unsure or creatively off-balance, revisiting the track brought him back into the right headspace.

Beyond the music, Jeremy Allen White shared that he had several rituals to help embody the 20-time Grammy winner. He regularly studied a specific seven-minute interview that he watched almost every morning, using it as a reference point for Springsteen's mindset and energy. He also focused intensely on the musician's physical nuances, including how he held his guitar, lowered his head while recording, and lifted his harmonica. These details became essential tools for White whenever he needed to reconnect with the character.

'Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere' is now playing in theatres, offering fans a deeper look into one of Springsteen’s most defining creative periods—and showcasing White’s devoted transformation into The Boss.
