The 55-year-old actor – who debuts his vocal talents in the ABBA-inspired musical Mamma Mia! – has got the taste for singing on screen, and is keen to take on the challenge of performing Springsteen’s most famous tracks.
Pierce told BANG Showbiz: “I’d love to see a musical of Springsteen songs. His songs have got such imagery and poetry. I would like to star in it – I’d have a crack at it. I really enjoyed doing Mamma Mia! so why not? In for a penny, in for a pound!”
Pierce’s Mamma Mia! co-star Colin Firth had another suggestion for a band-based musical. He laughed: “My son suggested Radiohead, but I don’t think that’s particularly upbeat – it wouldn’t have people dancing in the aisles!”
Mamma Mia! is released worldwide later this month.
