Their reunion happened at the US Open men\u2019s singles final in New York on Sunday, and while brief, it was nostalgic.<\/p>\n
During the match between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, Cox, 61, sweetly walked up to The Boss, 75, to greet him as he sat next to his daughter, Jessica, 33, and their interaction was caught on tape<\/a>.<\/p>\n In the clip, the \u201cFriends\u201d star was seen bending down to embrace Springsteen, who had a giant smile on his face.<\/p>\n Courteney Cox with musician Bruce Springsteen and his daughter Jessica Rae Springsteen in the stands during the final match.

Singer Pink was ironically sitting in the row below the \u201cHungry Heart\u201d singer at the star-studded event.<\/p>\n The rock icon, who was dressed in a gray suit and with his black sunglasses on, appeared happy to see his former dancing queen at the sports event; although, Cox once admitted she had secretly hoped she wouldn\u2019t be cast in his iconic music video.<\/p>\n The \u201cScream\u201d actress was 20 when she responded to an ad to dance with Springsteen onstage in 1984 during the opening night of his \u201cBorn in the U.S.A.\u201d tour in Saint Paul, Minn., which was a backdrop for the Brian De Palma-directed music video.<\/p>\n Johnny McDaid and Courteney Cox attend the US Open Tennis Championship at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on September 07, 2025 in New York City.

I did not want to be the one to go,\u201d she recalled in a 2017\u00a0interview on\u00a0\u201cThe Off Camera Show with Sam Jones<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n \u00a0\u201cI don\u2019t want to dance for 30,000 people! It was a full concert and we did the song twice, back to back,\u201d Cox explained.<\/p>\n Johnny McDaid and Courteney Cox in the stands at the US Open Tennis Championship on September 07, 2025 in New York City. MediaPunch \/ BACKGRID<\/p>\n Springsteen had no idea Cox was an aspiring actress\u00a0or what the role would do for her career. In his memoir,\u00a0\u201cBorn to Run,\u201d the rocker revealed he thought she was simply a pre-selected fan. <\/p>\n Cox, however, never forgot the dance moves. She recreated the routine in a 2024 TikTok video.<\/p>\n Both Springsteen and Cox are gearing up for the big screen these days.<\/p>\n Courteney Cox and Bruce Springsteen in the music video for his 1984 hit \u201cDancing in the Dark.\u201d<\/p>\n Courteney Cox and Bruce Springsteen in the music video for his 1984 hit \u201cDancing in the Dark.\u201d WireImage<\/p>\n The actress will reprise her role as investigative journalist Gale Weathers in \u201cScream 7,\u201d<\/a> out in theaters on Feb. 27, while The Boss\u2019 highly anticipated biopic, \u201cSpringsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere,\u201d will be released next month.<\/p>\n \u201cThe Bear\u201d actor Jeremy Allen White portrays Springsteen in the flick, which chronicles the \u201cGlory Days\u201d singer\u2019s life while making his 1982 album, \u201cNebraska.\u201d<\/p>\n The 20-time Grammy winner recently spoke about his decision to finally cave for a biopic<\/a>.<\/p>\n Courteney Cox and Bruce Springsteen in the music video for his 1984 hit \u201cDancing in the Dark.\u201d WireImage<\/p>\n \u201cWhat brought this one along was that I think we had a very specific idea \u2013 Scott had a very specific idea, particularly, of what we were gonna attempt to do,\u201d Springsteen said last month, per\u00a0Variety<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd, for lack of a better word, it was an anti-biopic,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou know, it\u2019s really not a biopic \u2013 it just takes a couple years out of my life when I was 31 and 32 and looks at them really at a time when I made this particular record, and when\u00a0I went through some just difficult places<\/a>\u00a0in my life, you know.\u201d<\/p>\n Springsteen added: \u201cAnd, I\u2019m old and I don\u2019t give a f\u2013k what I do now.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cDeliver Me From Nowhere\u201d hits theaters on Oct. 24.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t
