Jeremy Allen White flaunted his abs in an Interview Magazine photoshoot after his role in the Bruce Springsteen biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere received mixed reviews.
The shirtless actor, 34, who takes on the role of The Boss, sent pulses racing as he posed for a sexy shot alongside a skimpy-dressed model.
He put on a very racy display as he posed with his hand down his trousers while wearing a leather jacket.
In one snap, Jeremy can be seen posing in a green fish net top while leaning against a tree, smoking a cigarette and gazing at a woman walking past.
Adding a touch of sophistication to his shoot, Jeremy, who is known for his starring role in Bear, switched into a black and white tuxedo, complete with a bowtie.
Jeremy also flaunted his toned physique in a white vest and black jeans as he posed for a handsome black and white picture.

He bared his hairy chest for one snap as he wore a blue house robe while staring at himself in a bathroom mirror.
For the fall front cover, Jeremy wore a black and grey tweed coat as he posed in front of a blue background.
The film chronicles the life of the legendary rock star, 76, as he struggles to reconcile the pressures of success with the ghosts of his past while recording his album ‘Nebraska’ in the early 1980s.
But Jeremy has confessed that he struggled with playing the version of The Boss that was isolated and depressed, with those feelings leaking over into his own psyche.
Jeremy admitted he was pleased that shooting was over, after finding it ‘incredibly difficult’ to film and be away from his daughters – Ezer, seven, and Dolores, four.
He candidly said: ‘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”.’

But despite all his dedication and hard work, ahead of the movie’s cinematic release on October 24, the first round of reviews are in and critics are divided.
The Guardian’s Adrian Horton gave the movie three stars, writing: ‘The story of Springsteen’s hard-left artistic turn, inspired by Flannery O’Connor stories and TV dramas, is certainly an interesting one.
‘Unfortunately, it’s difficult to visualize the churn of one person’s brain on fire, the ups and downs of the creative process; we end up spending a lot of time watching Bruce write lyrics in black marker indicative of overstatement – “Why???,” he writes when looking at an old headline about Charles Starkweather, whose 1958 murder spree inspired the title track. (It’s because he was “mad at the world”.)’

Adding that Deliver Me From Nowhere ‘thankfully avoids overly mythologising the Boss’, she concludes: ‘I floated out of the theatre to Nebraska’s rueful highlight Atlantic City, and haven’t wanted to stop listening to it since, stuck in its Americana groove – which is perhaps, ultimately, what we want from a biopic.’
The Telegraph’s Film Critic Tim Robey praises actor Jeremy’s portrayal of The Boss and how he captured the ‘introspection, the diffidence and the soul-searching of Springsteen’.
Giving the movie four stars, he also said: ‘This is not an all-stops-out portrait, and that’s not the star turn we get from The Bear’s Jeremy Allen White, either.
‘Indeed, when White strains to match Springsteen’s physicality – wrapping up a show with Born to Run – the popping neck muscles and overwhelming exertion make him look like he’s on the verge of having a stroke.’
The Times says that Jeremy ‘is no Bruce’ as their Chief Film Critic Kevin Maher declared: ‘As a lead protagonist, Bruce is quite the bore.’
Awarding the movie just two stars, he added: ‘Besides the busting jugular, physically White is a billion miles away from Springsteen, often distractingly so, like bad fancy dress, or putting a pair of Levi’s on a monkey and calling him the Boss.
‘In the end, it’s only essential viewing for Springsteen completists. They can loudly chant “Broooooooooose!” all through the film. Probably better that way.’
US publication Variety says Deliver Me From Nowhere ‘doesn’t do nearly enough to contextualise’ the breakthrough Bruce had with Nebraska.
Their Chief Film Critic Peter Debruge adds: ‘It shows all the headaches Bruce’s tape caused for manager Jon Landau (Jeremy Strong) and recording engineer Chuck Plotkin (Marc Maron) and his cadre of studio pros, but the technical side isn’t nearly as dramatic as it sounds, and there’s only limited interest in watching White navigate the icon’s first serious bout of depression.’
Deadline’s Pete Hammond warns in his review: ‘If some fans go in expecting the equivalent of a greatest hits package, think again.’
In one of its most positive reviews yet, he brands the biopic ‘the real deal’ as he praised lead star Jeremy.

He said: ‘White, with no prior history in singing or playing guitar, studied for five months with a vocal coach as well as guitar experts. The results speak for themselves. He is utterly convincing on every count, but this is no mere NFL-style imitation.’
While The Sun‘s Dulcie Pearce branded the film a ‘waste of a fascinating subject’ and hit the ‘clunky’ biopic with a two-star review.
She said: ‘White does a reasonable impression of the tortured genius but with far too many distant, brooding stares.’
Adding it’s ‘one for the superfans’, she goes on to say: ‘There’s also flashbacks with Stephen Graham as Bruce’s alcoholic dad, which seems unnecessary.
