Alert: Jeremy Allen White Just Won an Emmy Award for ‘The Bear’!
Attention: We, the people, are still very much in the year of The Bear, because Jeremy Allen White just nabbed his second Emmy for the hit show! Yep, the actor/Calvin Klein heartthrob won the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series just eight months after scooping his first during the 2023 Emmys back in January of this year.
“Thank you, thank you, thank you, so much,” he said. “My heart is just beating outside of its chest. Thank you for choosing me. I am so, so, so lucky. I’m so grateful. Thank you. My beautiful cast, I love you forever. I love to work with you, and I want us to be in each other’s lives forever. I love you so dearly.”

“Jo, this show has changed my life. It has instilled a faith that change is possible if you are able to reach out,” he continued. “You’re really, truly never actually alone. I thank this show.”
P.S. This huge win means JAW now has the following under his belt *clears throat*: two Golden Globes, two Critics Choice Awards, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Emmy Awards. I-con-ic!!!
During a July 2022 convo with W Magazine, the celeb opened up about how he prepared for the role of Carmen Anthony “Carmy” Berzatto and dished, “Before we did the pilot, I went to the Institute of Culinary Education in Pasadena. That’s where I got to know Ayo [Edebiri]—we were getting to know one another while cooking, which was nice, since so much of the way Sydney and Carmy communicate [with] one another is through cooking.”
“I worked at this place before we shot the pilot called Pasjoli in Santa Monica. Chef-owner Dave Beran was a Chicago chef for a long time—he worked at Alinea—so not only was he really talented and let me in, but he also had a knowledge of Chicago food specifically. Then we shot the pilot. As soon as we got picked up, I had three months to work with a chef here in New York called David Waltuck, who had a great restaurant called Chanterelle. We did one on one, Monday through Friday, for weeks, just preparing and working on knife skills. Then I went back to Pasjoli for a while and they let me work the line, which was really insane,” he added.
Luckily, all that hard work paid off!
