Jeremy Allen White has been a TV star since 2011, having appeared as one of the leads in the US version of Shameless. But, The Bear has catapulted him into new levels on fame, especially in the city of Chicago, USA, where the show is set.
Speaking on The Graham Norton Show, White said, "I can get a dinner reservation and that kinda stuff is really nice. But after the success of the first season, they gave me a security guard, this wonderful man, Moody. And Moody follows me around on set everywhere. There one was one particular evening, where we were shooting, on location, in Chicago. We were very near a school or college. There was a group of mostly small, young women, that were excited to see everybody there. And they were barricaded, very, very far away from where we were shooting. And as I get out of the van, and I am approaching, they start shouting, and Moody, this very large man, lifts me in the air, by my hips, carries me up the stairs and shoves me in the door, as if these young women were really going to get me. And I remember telling him, 'Please do not ever, ever, grab me by my hips again.'"
He added, "It was wild thing to happen, but it's all good now."
Bruce Springsteen, who was sitting beside White, added, "I have the same problem, except everyone is 70, and you don't have to worry about them."
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere, follows the story of Springsteen recording his album, Nebraska, in 1982, as he creates the album at a pivotal time in his life.
