Overview

  • The brief on-camera exchange took place Sept. 7 during the U.S. Open men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in New York.
  • Cox approached Springsteen, 75, shared a hug and kiss on the cheek, then greeted his daughter, Olympic equestrian Jessica Springsteen, before returning to her seat.
  • Clips spread widely on social media, prompting nostalgic reactions tied to Cox’s breakout turn in the 1984 video directed by Brian De Palma.
  • Springsteen had previously written that he believed Cox was a pre-selected fan at the time, not realizing she was a hired actress; she later spoofed the dance in a 2024 TikTok.
  • The moment unfolded in a celebrity-packed section, and it arrives as Springsteen promotes the Oct. 24 film ‘Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere’ while Cox prepares to reprise Gale Weathers in ‘Scream 7’ on Feb. 27, 2026.
