A Bruce Springsteen fan has noticed how a new film about The Boss’ life shows him talking about mustard being his favourite condiment, even though he hates mustard in real life.
In Deliver Me From Nowhere, which sees Springsteen played by The Bear star, Jeremy Allen-White, there is a scene in which Bruce can be seen discussing condiments with the child of his girlfriend in the film, Faye Romano (played by Odessa Young), in which he’s talking about hot dogs and mustard being his favourite condiment.
However, as @GenZBruceFan pointed out on X, Springsteen actually hates mustard in real life. In 2015 at a concert in East Rutherford, New Jersey, Springsteen even even went on a rant about how much he hated mustard at the show.

Recently, Greta Van Fleet opened up about how they became part of the biopic.
In the film, there is a scene in which Bruce is seen joining a ‘local’ band at the Stone Pony in Ashbury Park, New Jersey. The band is an all-star line up, put together by the film’s producer, Dave Cobb.
The band featured Greta Van Fleet’s Jake Kiszka on guitar and Sam F. Kiszka on bass, while keyboardist Bobby Emmett from Jack White’s band featured alongisde Nashville drummer Askel Coe. The band performed Little Richard’s ‘Lucille’ and John Lee Hooker’s ‘Boom Boom’ that were performed with White and feature on the film’s soundtrack.
Speaking about how it came about, bass player Kiszka told Billboard about how some of Greta Van Fleet ended up in the film.
He explained: “It’s interesting. It began through Dave Cobb; he produced the last Greta album (2023’s ‘Starcatcher’) and was helping me produce this current Mirador record. We were sitting around on the dock out by the water at his house in Savannah (Georgia) and he said, ‘I’ve just been working on this Deliver Me From Nowhere film about ‘Nebraska’ and Springsteen,’ and he said the director, Scott Cooper, was looking for a young band who could be the house band for the Stone Pony during this era of Springsteen.
“And Scott said, ‘I’m really looking for a young, sort of hop rock ‘n’ roll band like Greta Van Fleet.’ And Dave’s like, ‘Well, I know someone… Why don’t we just ask those guys?’ He asked me and then he needed a bass player and guitar player, so Sam and I sort of stepped up to the plate. That’s how it began.”
He continued: “…It was completely unexpected, but there’s been so many opportunities like this that come across through the grapevine. A lot of this stuff it’s like, ‘OK, that’s cool, but we’re touring’ or doing a record, whatever we’re busy with at the time.
“This came through and it was like, you definitely can’t say no to this because Bruce Springsteen is such a big influence on us. This is definitely not something we had foreseen happening, but it was irresistible. It was a fascinating thing to do, the intersection between film and cinema meets music.”
He went on to explain how the first step was “recording” going to the Power Station in New York where Springsteen recorded, including where Allen-White covered some classic Springsteen hits.
The film, which was released in cinemas last Friday (October 24) dramatises the recording of The Boss’ 1982 album ‘Nebraska’ as he battles depression and haunting memories from his traumatic childhood.
It received a four star review from NME which said: “What Deliver Me From Nowhere shows well is just how commercial success was a distant second to Springsteen – a man who had no choice but to rip those ‘Nebraska’ songs from his wounded heart.”
Director Scott Cooper recently said that Springsteen was keen on more potential films following the release of the biopic.
“There’s so many chapters in Bruce’s life, in all seriousness, that are quite right for cinematic treatment,” Cooper added. “That’s something quite honestly that Bruce and I have discussed. I think he really loves this film. He’s loved the experience.”
