Reflecting on the incident, White nonchalantly added, “The face, like, bleeds a lot."

Way better,” he confessed – he acknowledged the exciting, albeit scary, progress in his career.
He optimistically stated, “I definitely feel like I’m taking a step up,” encapsulating his journey from being Lip Gallagher to becoming the beloved Carmy in 'The Bear.'
