Jeremy Allen White is the actor of the moment. Not only does he have the critics devoted to his talent, the industry at his feet and the media interest on his part after confirming his romance with Rosalía with the photos of a kiss in the middle of the street in Los Angeles, but he has just confirmed his position in Hollywood sweeping its series at the Emmy and Golden Globes in a matter of a few days.
Because the success of The Bear , the series for which he has just won both awards for Best Actor in a Drama Series, has exposed his talent to the international public, positioning him as one of the great promises of the moment practically of the night. in the morning.
The character of Carmy , a meticulous chef who carries trauma to the surface in the middle of a chaotic restaurant, gave him the opportunity to shine in a big way in intense sequences that require unparalleled talent, although before he showed us his charisma in series like Shameless or Homecomin g and even in another artistic field during his adolescence.
Many may not know it, but this 32-year-old performer who is on the lips of half the world had aspirations that, before being an actor, focused on another discipline. As he has said in interviews, such as the one granted to Interview Magazine in 2016, his parents enrolled him in all kinds of activities when he was a child, such as soccer, wrestling, baseball and dance, the latter being where he found an oasis of happiness and talent that motivated him to want to develop a professional career in dance .
"I love to dance. I trained as a dancer when I was young: jazz, ballet, tap. Going out dancing with friends is what I like to do the most. “I pull out all my old moves,” said Jeremy Allen White. “All my friends make fun of me because I have a very specific dance that I do when the tempo changes. I guess it would be described as a strange sashay-tap thing. But if I could dance forever, that would be great .”
His words make it clear that dance had a deep impact and that today he still has a predilection for this art, which leads us to wonder why he left it aside to launch into acting. Seeing how far he has come with series like The Bear (available on Star+), you might think that confidence in his talent played an essential role in launching himself into a world as complicated as Hollywood, but the truth is that, by pure chance, He discovered that being an actor helped him overcome a problem that he had had since childhood .
In another intervention with Fault Magazine , he said that after entering an acting class by mistake, he realized that giving life to characters, delving into their universes or paying attention to the script lines helped him stay focused . Since he was little, he had difficulty having his attention focused, but by acting the problem disappeared.
“I stumbled into an acting class when I was in seventh grade, when I was 12 or something like that,” he explained. “I played soccer, wrestling, baseball, lacrosse, dancing and did a lot of things. I really liked dancing, but I found that I could concentrate while performing, something I found difficult to do, especially as a child, and even to this day .”
A therapeutic method that led him to fame
After signing up for classes at her school, it didn't take long for her to see that she enjoyed acting just as much as she enjoyed dancing. At that time he did not value a professional career as an actor , but when his teacher motivated him to participate in casting calls and his talent began to open doors for him, what was initially a therapeutic method to overcome his concentration problems became his springboard to success and fame.
“It was something I was very aware of, but I don't know if I ever really thought about doing it professionally. “I enjoyed telling stories,” she continued. I had a really wonderful teacher in seventh grade, who sent me to casting calls where hundreds of kids would appear. And I ended up getting one of those movies and commercials. I started working when I was 13, I loved her. I was a pretty awkward child, a little anxious and had difficulty concentrating. For some reason, being on stage or in front of a camera really makes me feel comfortable.”
As soon as he left school, he landed his role as Phillip “Lip” Gallagher in Shameless , which over the years would place him in series such as Homecoming with Julia Roberts, films such as The Birthday Cake with Ewan McGregor and finally in The Bear , the series that has positioned him as one of the most promising stars of our times and with whom he aims to continue giving a lot to talk about in the coming years. Without forgetting the applause he is receiving for his work in The Iron Claw , the biopic about the Von Erich brothers and American wrestling fighters, where he gained muscle alongside Zac Efron.
In the end, it seems that Jeremy Allen White was right to leave dance as a mere hobby , although who knows what direction events would have taken if he had not entered that kind of acting and had not discovered the healing nature of this profession.
Rosalía and Hollywood success from various angles
A short time ago the name of Jeremy Allen White did not resonate with the strength it does now. And The Bear is to blame. The stressful but overwhelming series created by Christopher Storer put him on the public's horizon as word of mouth did its part, generating conversation and interest as the world discovered the story with the first season in 2022.
The series catapulted him to stardom, placing his name in the halls of Hollywood and awakening the media interest that accompanies popular success. And Jeremy Allen White was married until a few months ago to the actress Addison Timlin and is the father of two girls, a stage that he lived practically anonymously and without any type of stalking of his privacy. But then fame came and his personal life became public. First when Timlin filed for divorce in May 2023, a stage that the actor lived between professional success and personal sadness, being "crazy," as he told GQ . “Many highs and many terrible lows,” he added while revealing that it took him “a year” to find some stability again, taking a break from work to be with his daughters and get his life back on track.
And it didn't take long for the details of his story to creep into the news immediacy. For example, four months after the initial divorce filing, US Weekly reported that White agreed to undergo an alcohol test as part of the joint custody agreement. The interpreter agreed to take breathalyzer tests five times a week when he takes care of his daughters and must attend therapy and weekly Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. That is, details that before success would have remained in the mundane privacy of those of us who live far from the bright spotlights of fame.
However, that was only the beginning. Then the rumors would arrive about his supposed romance with Rosalía, which would then be confirmed through the lens of the paparazzi, making her private life even more interesting. Without going any further, in the last few hours her name triggered the voracity of the Spanish singer's fans when they saw that she wore a brooch in the shape of a red rose with a golden stem on the lapel of her suit at the Critics Choice Awards. An accessory that did not go unnoticed because it was the same one that the artist's ex-boyfriend, Rauw Alejandro, had worn when they posed together as a couple at the 2022 Latin Grammys.
However, he does not speak. Facing the world, he continues to maintain a professional profile as a rising actor without responding to gossip.
