Overview
- In a new Vanity Fair interview, the actor says hearing “Jeremy Allen White” can feel like people are referring to someone he doesn’t know.
- He was raised as Jeremy White but adopted his middle name because Screen Actors Guild records already listed a Jeremy White.
- He expressed interest in meeting the SAG-registered Jeremy White to ask about reclaiming the shorter name, with no formal change announced.
- He says The Bear elevated his public profile, and he feels better prepared for the attention in his early 30s.
- He notes that being a father of two has helped him stay grounded as his visibility has grown.
