Courteney Cox recreated her role in Bruce Springsteen's 1984 'Dancing in the Dark' music video for a viral TikTok trend
The actress, 59, took part in a TikTok trend in which kids ask their parents to show them how they danced in the 1980s. Cox followed that same prompt in her Sunday, June 9, TikTok upload, dancing awkwardly before unzipping her hoodie to reveal the same Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band T-shirt she wore in the singer’s 1984 music video for “Dancing in the Dark.”
The “Dancing in the Dark” music video marked one of Cox’s first professional gigs, as she had only appeared in one episode of As the World Turns in 1975 before the video. She appears as a fan in the audience of one of Springsteen’s concerts. Locking eyes with Cox as he performs the upbeat tune, Springsteen eventually pulls her up on stage to dance together.
Despite getting the part, Cox was hesitant about her dance skills. “I didn’t want to dance in front of 30,000 people. … It was a full concert and we did the song twice, back-to-back,” she explained, adding, “I spent a lot of time talking about what Bruce Springsteen was really like after that video. It got me in the door to so many places.”
