In the world of Hollywood heartthrobs, Jeremy Allen White stands out for more than just his good looks. Regardless, the actor, known for his role as Lip Gallagher on the hit TV series Shameless and, of course, as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto in FX’s hit show on Hulu, The Bear, has recently expressed surprise at the attention he receives for his appearance.
In Hollywood, social media, and even articles like this, celebrity attractiveness is often highlighted. However, what is not talked about is how the stars themselves feel about this. It’s almost as if they just know what they are – rich, famous, and beautiful. That’s what makes Jeremy Allen White’s straightforward response to others being attracted to him so refreshing. It shows his character and gives us a deeper look into what kind of person he really is.
Why Jeremey Allen White Thinks Women Find Him So Attractive
Let’s start off by saying that while he was growing into himself on Shameless, Jeremy Allen White was also growing into a huge hunk. Nearing the end of the series, more women had taken notice, but White seems to think it’s because he plays a chef in his new role that women find him appealing.
In an interview on NPR, he stated, “I don’t know. I feel like I’ve fooled everybody. I think people are attracted to Carmy. I find his determination attractive. I find his skill, like how good he is at this thing, attractive. And I also, I’ll say it, I think chefs are hot. They’re taking care of you, right? They’re really supporting you, I think. It makes sense.”
Sure, it’s the chef thing. It has nothing to do with his extremely ripped body that he keeps in check with an intense workout and diet. Especially now that he put on 40 pounds of muscle for his role in the upcoming movie “Iron Claw.” Even his Hollywood offers have amped up since then.
Women are also attracted to the bad boy look—maybe not in real life, but seeing a guy all tatted up, sweating, and yelling orders is a good look. However, while Carmy, the character portrayed by Jeremy Allen White, may be adorned with intricate ink, Jeremy’s real-life canvas has a more understated artistry. Despite not resembling a walking mural, Jeremy has at least six tattoos that offer glimpses into his life. The fake one’s mean something to the actor, though every part of Carmy means something to him. It’s really how he was able to develop himself so well into the character.
White is not the only one who is aware of his new-found fanbase. In an interview with GQ, he said, he gets teased by his The Bear cast mates over it. “They know me, and they know how embarrassing it is for me.”
He also noted that he can see why the fans are intrigued, though, adding, “What I find attractive in people is determination. If you’re truly good at something, that’s incredibly attractive…I understand people having a crush on Carmy. I think I have a bit of a crush on Carmy”.

Of course, all this acting has increased his net worth as well. Jeremy Allen White now has a net worth of $8 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth. While it is not reported what exactly he made on Shameless, we know Emmy Rossum negotiated for equal pay and then received $350,000 per episode. To think White was paid something in that range wouldn’t be outrageous, considering he was such a big part of the show’s success and stayed on till the series finale.
Then comes The Bear. While it hasn’t been officially reported, some websites claim he was making $250,000 per episode. It’s highly likely that that went up since the show became such a huge success. We will have to wait and see if we get word on what season 3 pays him.
