Rob Brydon, Bruce Springsteen.

British actor and comedian Rob Brydon has spoken about his life-long love of Bruce Springsteen, revealing that, as a teenager growing up in Wales, he found Springsteen's songs about New Jersey wholly relatable to his own life.

Brydon, perhaps best known for his role as Bryn West in the much-loved BBC TV sitcom Gavin and Stacey, and his three series alongside Steve Coogan in The Trip, shares his love for Springsteen in the documentary When Bruce Springsteen Came To Britain, which aired on BBC2 on May 31.
