But all is not what is seemed.
The singer was just saying a friendly hello before he spent time with Bruce as well as Steven Spielberg while in Salerno, Italy.
Bruce, 75; Steven, 78; and Sting, 73, got together for a power lunch. Steven's wife Kate Capshaw, 71, was also there.

Spielberg had a gray beard and cap on as he wore jeans, a button-up shirt and a thick ribbed cream-colored shawl cardigan.
Sting was seen kissing Bruce Springsteen's wife Patti Scialfa, 72, when on the Amalfi Coast of Italy on Sunday.
For his part, Sting wore a button-up sky blue shirt and dark jeans and at some points layered a navy crewneck sweater.
Bruce looked great in light-wash jeans, a button-up white shirt and a patterned navy, red and white jacket.
He and Patti married in 1993 and share three kids: Evan, 35; Jessica, 33; and Sam, 31.
The wife and mom-of-three took to Instagram on June 8 to share a throwback photo with her rock star spouse kissing as they celebrated their first wedding anniversary.
She wrote in the caption, 'Our one year anniversary…. Bruce surprised me with a beautiful party ….. today marks 34 years …'
And Patti noted, '...even though we already had Evan and Jess was on the way.'
She signed off by sharing how they celebrated this year: 'Spent the evening with Bruce Sam and our granddaughter Lily…'
A first-look at Jeremy Allen White portraying music giant Bruce in the upcoming biopic Deliver Me From Nowhere was released last October.
It came shortly after the New Jersey native shared his thoughts on the project, telling Rolling Stone in a joint interview with Zach Bryan: 'I’ve seen the scripts and I’ve talked to the director.
'They’re just putting it all together, so I don’t have an awful lot to say about it, but I’m excited about it happening.'
