Jeremy Strong wasn't actually listening to Bruce Springsteen when filming a scene from the Grammy-winning musician's upcoming musical biopic, *Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.*

Writer-director Scott Cooper asked the Emmy-winning actor, who stars as Springsteen's manager and producer Jon Landau in the film, to share the tune that was really playing during the pivotal moment, as part of **'s *Around the Table* video series.

"What were you listening to the first time we got the mastering correct?" Cooper asked, in the video above.

"I wanted it to be a moment of real exhilaration and almost euphoria, so I asked them to put on 'Whoomp! (There It Is),'" Strong replied, referring to hip-hop duo Tag Team's iconic 1993 single. "And when that came on, it really — it does it every time. If you put it on right now!"

Jeremy Allen White, who plays Springsteen in the film, interjected, "Joy, every time."

"Every time I see that scene, I think of that," Cooper replied. "It's amazing."

Strong went on to praise the director for always allowing the cast to do "whatever it takes" to make a scene really sing — even if it means putting on a different track. He added, "Sometimes you have to find intuitive ways to make something real."

Based on Warren Zanes' 2023 book of the same name, *Deliver Me From Nowhere* follows a wayward Springsteen as he comes to terms with his past, present, and future while crafting his 1982 album, *Nebraska*. The film also stars Paul Walter Hauser, Stephen Graham, and Odessa Young.

Earlier in their conversation, Strong explained that it would've been "impossible to be listening to *Nebraska* in those takes." Instead, he noted, "I picked other songs that would just wash over me and affect me in a certain way that I didn't see coming and couldn't possibly prescribe."

Which Cooper fully understood. "Because you had heard *Nebraska* so many times," he reasoned.

That doesn't mean, however, Strong isn't a big fan of Springsteen's critically acclaimed record. "*Nebraska* is one of my favorite albums, and it touches the marrow of life in the way that very few pieces of music do," he said.
