The Toronto International Film Festival continued it’s tradition of not just attracting the biggest MOVIE stars in the world – but occasionally, a big MUSIC star or two. In the last few years, U2′s Bono and The Edge, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, and The White Stripes have all popped up on TIFF red carpets in support of films in recents years.
This year, it was THE BOSS – Bruce Springsteen. After his Tuesday night Gala premiere, on the same day when Springsteen participated in a celebrity interview at the Bell Lightbox moderated by Ed Norton, The Boss had a much quieter Wednesday.
A select few journalists were invited to the Royal Theatre on College St. for an early afternoon listening session to unreleased material from the Darkness on the Edge of Town album recording sessions from the seventies. Springsteen was even in attendance at the Royal Theatre that day to introduce the “new” tracks and answer questions.
But it was after the exclusive listening session at the Royal that a few people on College street got the surprise of their lives when Bruce decided to stroll out of the theatre to grab some lunch.
Springsteen spent a few minutes posing for pictures with fans including one dude that got The Boss to pose on his motorcycle.
