Jeremy Allen White ‘Pulling Back’ Due to Awards Attention: He’s ‘Struggling to Get a Grip on Things’

Jeremy Allen White is recoiling from his award recognition for the 'The Bear' and making himself a social recluse, a source exclusively tells Life and Style

“I’m not claiming to be inside Jeremy’s head but I do know the guy,” says a friend of the breakout Shameless alum, “I admire the hell out of him, and the more famous he gets, the more I, and everybody who knows him, see him struggling to keep a grip on things and even just do the bare minimum socially.” “He did that as a young cast member on Shameless, he does that on The Bear because he needs his body to look a certain way in his famous white t-shirt on that show, and he did it on The Iron Claw to look like a 100 percent convincing retro wrestler.” Assuming Jeremy will keep with his method acting approach, the insider adds, “I’m sure he’s doing that now as he works on his Bruce Springsteen movie, but please understand that he has totally shut himself off from the world to make that film and you’re starting to see this pattern of him radically pulling back from all the attention he’s getting.”
