Tom Brady Reunites With Patriot Teammates in '80 for Brady'

Tom Brady Reunites With Patriot Teammates in '80 for Brady'

Tom Brady will be reuniting with a trio of former Patriots — Rob Gronkowski, Julian Edelman, and Danny Amendola — in cameo roles for the upcoming film 80 for Brady.

The film is inspired by the true story of four women going to 2017’s Super Bowl LI. Gronkowski, Edelman, and Amendola were all part of the 2016 Patriots team that defeated the Falcons in Super Bowl LI in an historic overtime comeback.

“We’ve been part of a lot of battles together,” Brady says on a May afternoon, lounging in a Las Vegas hotel suite on the day before a charity golf game. He’s dressed in his new ath-leisure line, called (what else?) Brady. “We’ve never been on a movie set together, but it felt like we were back in the locker room when we were there,” Brady told Variety. “Anytime I get my friends involved in things that I’m doing, it makes it that much more enjoyable for me.”

Find out what Tom said about playing himself in 80 for Brady

When asked about playing himself, Tom said, “It’s really interesting. I find it challenging — sometimes hard. Because you’re always paying attention to yourself as yourself rather than the character you’re playing. I don’t think that’s natural for me. What I’ve done for 23 years in sports is play myself. There’s no acting. It’s me on the field. When I’m pissed, I’m pissed. When I’m happy, I’m happy. I’m not playing a role. So when I got to go play a role, I have no programming for that. There’s not a lot of experiences to fall back on other than a few commercials that I’ve done.”

Tom recently clarified his relationship with Donald Trump.
