Earlier this year, seven-time Super Bowl winner Tom Brady returned to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for another season in the NFL, having spent just 44 days in retirement. And he’s set to make yet another return early next year—but this time to the big screen, with his upcoming film “80 For Brady.”
“80 For Brady” is a sports comedy, directed by Kyle Marvin (“The Climb”) and produced by Brady, about four senior friends who take a road trip to Houston to watch their hero and the New England Patriots play in Super Bowl LI. The four friends are played by Hollywood luminaries Rita Moreno, Lily Tomlin, Jane Fonda, and Sally Field. There are also supporting roles for Brady’s former Patriots teammates, Rob Gronkowski, Danny Amendola, and Julian Edelman.

His first credit was in the 2003 Bobby & Peter Farrelly film “Stuck on You,” in which he played “Computer Geek #1” (Geek #2 was played by Lawyer Milloy, who was safety in the Patriots’ Super Bowl-winning side of 2001).
