Jeremy Allen White on how Bruce Springsteen gave him permission to become "The Boss" Jeremy Allen White becomes "The Boss" in a new film, channeling Bruce Springsteen's raw vulnerability during one of the most introspective chapters of his life. The Emmy Award-winning star of "The Bear" plays the lead role in "Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere," out Oct. 24. The biopic strips away the stadium rock legend to reveal a deeply human artist.

White had no experience singing or playing guitar before taking on the role, but that didn't stop director Scott Cooper — or Bruce Springsteen himself — from believing in him.

Dogs count as cargo for airline liability, EU court rules, after passenger's pet goes missing The European Union's top court ruled Thursday that a dog traveling in an airplane's cargo hold counts as baggage, meaning airlines are not required to pay higher compensation if the animal is lost. The ruling stems from a dispute between Spanish airline Iberia and a passenger whose dog, Mona, went missing before a flight from Buenos Aires to Barcelona in October 2019. The dog, which had to travel in a pet carrier in the aircraft's hold due to its size and weight, escaped while being taken to the plane and was never seen again.
