Bruce Springsteen made a rare appearance as an actor in a TV series last night.
He appeared on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” as himself, or a version of himself. Larry David’s manager, Jeff, says Bruce wants to meet him before his upcoming shows in Los Angeles. (The shows are real, by the way.)
“Springteen” says he’s on his “farewell tour” — which in real life isn’t true. He also gets COVID from Larry, and is tortured in the process by David/
Bruce is the best part of a lackluster episode, like most of this final season. “Curb” ends this Sunday on HBO after 12 seasons over 22 years.
Bruce has appeared otherwise in one episode of his friend, Stevie van Zandt’s, “Lilyhammer,” and as himself in one minor movie. He acquits himself pretty, pretty, pretty well!
@springsteen was absolutely brilliant on Curb Your Enthusiasm episode last night. Seriously a natural actor. Hysterical! #springsteen pic.twitter.com/wEAAskNoUs
