Jeremy Allen White has officially achieved heartthrob status thanks to his starring role in the hit kitchen drama The Bear.
The 35-year-old actor's performance as the intense chef Carmen Berzatto brought him global recognition. Since then, he's gone from one success to the next with roles in The Iron Claw opposite Zac Efron and as Bruce Springsteen in the biographical film Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere.
Jeremy has come a long way from his breakout role in the comedy-drama Shameless, in which he played a teenage Phillip "Lip" Gallagher – and throwback photos to his early career show just how much he's changed.

Back in 2011, just as Shameless premiered on Showtime, 20-year-old Jeremy looked completely different, sporting curly long hair.
The bright-eyed actor had a slim physique, perhaps due to his background as a dancer with experience in ballet, jazz, and tap dance.

Jeremy's transformation
Since then, Jeremy has effortlessly transitioned into a leading man, rocking his signature curls and sharp, striking cheekbones.
His physique has also changed dramatically, partly thanks to his role in the wrestling film, The Iron Claw.

At the time, his co-star Zac Efron talked about Jeremy's commitment to the role, telling GQ: "Jeremy is the [expletive] man,. His presence is electric on and off camera.

The actor has also accumulated six tattoos, including the initials 'R.W.', and a Hummingbird design dedicated to his eldest daughter, Ezer.
