During an appearance onThe Graham Norton Showthat aired on Friday, Oct. 18, the music legend revealed that he liked White’s singing voice in the upcoming biopic,Deliver Me from Nowhere.

“It’s a lovely cast and I am involved a little,” Springsteen, 75, said before speaking about Allen’s portrayal of him in the movie. “This is not easy to do because you can’t do an imitation, you have to do a personal interpretation.”

He added, “It’s difficult but he is a great actor and sings pretty good.”

Meanwhile, Springsteen also spoke onThe Graham Norton Showabout his upcoming documentary,Road Diary: Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band,which followed the behind-the-scenes moments of his band’s world tour.

“I get anticipatory anxiety. It’s not quite the same thing as nervousness,” he said after being asked if he still gets nervous when performing. “It’s a natural feeling to have before you go out to challenge yourself. If it wasn’t there, I think there would be something wrong with you and you couldn’t do the job.”

Speaking about whether he plans to retire following his 75th birthday on Sept. 23, Springsteen said, “You’ve never seen a hearse with luggage on top so that will be it for me. I am going to keep going until it’s over.”
