Jeremy Allen White lost his voice after performing Bruce Springsteen's Born in the U.S.A

Jeremy told People magazine of his attempts to match Springsteen's vocals: "We kind of got into trying to get closer to Bruce's voice, but then there's certain songs like Born in the U.S.A. where there was nothing that could have prepared me."

The Bear star added: "He had years and years of playing in rooms like this and in s***** P.A. systems and really like testing his voice and training, and I didn't have that.

"I didn't have that time, so I needed to shout and that took me out. I remember recording Born in the U.S.A. and losing my voice for a couple days."

White explained that he was determined to do "justice" to the Cover Me rocker's music in the movie - which follows Springsteen during the making of his 1982 album Nebraska.

He said: "My first thing was, can I perform these songs with a little bit of honesty? Can I do justice to the lyrics?

"Hopefully if there's enough truth in this music, whether it sounds exactly like Bruce or not, people will connect with it."

Early reviews of Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere have been positive but White found that the most important feedback has come from the musician's family.

The Iron Claw star told USA Today: "When they watched it for the first time, his sister said, 'I'm so glad we have this.'

"And I think that's the way Bruce feels. To make Bruce happy and feel proud of the work we did, and want to share it with his family and these people who've been in his orbit forever - I mean, that's all you could really ask for. We did our job."

Jeremy recently explained that playing Springsteen took a terrible toll on him as he was away from his daughters during filming and put himself in "painful places" to depict The Boss.

He told The Sunday Times newspaper: "I feel like I'm pain for hire. Like I'm getting paid to put myself in painful places.

"On The Bear it's not like I walk around punching walls and screaming in my closet. But I stay close to that energy and it's uncomfortable - and filming the Bruce movie was incredibly difficult.

"I was in isolation. I was far from my children. I didn't travel home much. It made me unwell and when I came out of it I thought, 'There has to be a better way.'"
