Brooklyn actor Jeremy Allen White, who's playing Bruce Springsteen on the big screen, finally got his high school diploma at the age of 34.

The Deliver Me From Nowhere star said on Oct 23 that he didn’t graduate from Manhattan’s Professional Performing Arts School because he spent his high school years slacking and wanting to be an actor.

White finally made the grade at Wednesday (Oct 22) night’s New York Film Festival, where his former drama teacher presented him with a diploma.
