From difficult beginnings to addiction problems: who Jeremy Allen White was before he became a star

Jeremy Allen White is one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now. After a quiet start to his career with the series Shameless, his popularity definitely exploded with his performance in The Bear – which, in the last season of cinema and TV series awards, earned him more than a few awards – and then with the advertising campaign for Calvin Klein which definitively consecrated him as a sex symbol and viral phenomenon given his constant presence on social media. We are therefore faced with a new star who, if he has the perseverance and talent to preserve his fame and choose the right work projects, will only be able to figure in the Olympus of the most important cinema stars of recent years.

An important aspect that could contribute to consolidating this status is also the relationship with the singer Rosalía. The two have been dating for a few months and have not yet officially confirmed their relationship (apart from some references on the latest red carpets), but they have all the characteristics to become one of the new power couple, so loved by the media. Both beautiful and charming, with rapidly rising careers in their respective fields, representing a fairly innovative way of being professionals in their sector and, above all, very well matched. It's the kind of couple no one would ever think of, but seeing them together you can't help but say they couldn't have stayed apart for too long.

Everything in Jeremy Allen White's professional and private life seems shiny and flawless. But, like everyone, the actor leaves behind quite a mixed start in his career and a complicated relationship with his colleague Addison Timlin. The two divorced in May last year after 4 months of relationship, 3 years of marriage and two children. What separated them seems to have been trust issues linked above all to the actor's alcohol addiction. The couple, in fact, is engaged in a heated legal dispute over the custody of their children and, for now, things are not working in White's favor who, after failed two tests designed to verify his sobriety, he no longer has the opportunity to see his children for the time being. The interpreter of The Iron Claw (his new upcoming film which stars him together with Zac Efron) is also forced to attend at least two meetings per week with Alcoholics Anonymous.

The jammed mechanism in White's existence is very present and it still looks like it will take a lot of work to stop it from causing problems. Exactly as happened in his career: long gone are the times when he was judged in a less than flattering way by film critics and had difficulty finding roles. Her rebirth began when she began playing the role of Carmen Berzatto in The Beara character who, like him, tries to recognize and not be crushed by his fragilities. Ultimately, this is the key to success.
