Tom Brady addresses plans on future post-retirement
Tom Brady was asked about his future Tuesday night on Fred Couples’ Sirius XM radio show, and discussed his initial plans following his retirement from football after a two decade-plus career.
“I tell you, I wish I had a clear vision of what the future holds,” Brady said. “but I think for me, there’s a lot of great things and a lot of great opportunities that, I know I said right after football season I was looking forward to spending time with my family. And I’ve done that the last five weeks, and I know there’ll be a lot more of that, too. So, you know, I like staying busy, that’s for sure.”
Brady’s first plan — visiting his parents at his childhood home in San Mateo, California. After that? It seems even Brady doesn’t know the answer to that question.
“[I’m] looking forward to that, looking forward to some golf in the next few days and some more family time,” he said. “and then we’ll figure out where we go from there.”
Brady is actually set to act and produce in 80 for Brady, a film centered around Super Bowl LI, according to The Hollywood Reporter. He joins Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field in the starring roles. It will be his first big move since retiring from football. The timetable for this production has not been announced yet, though.
Inspired by a true story, 80 for Brady tells the tale of four best friends doubling as New England Patriots fans that are set to embark on a life-changing trip to the 2017 Super Bowl LI to see their hero, Tom Brady play. Chaos ensues as they navigate the wilds of the biggest sporting event in the world.
Brady himself was deeply involved in the inception of this film making it to the silver screen and developed it with Donna Gigliotti and Endeavor Content. 199 Productions, Brady’s production company, and Endeavor Content will be the leading producing bodies that will oversee the project. 199 Productions also plans to release a documentary titled, “Man in the Arena,” with ESPN about Brady’s seventh Super Bowl run with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
“It seems like if Tom Brady wanted to do a movie he could do it in a minute,” saidSam Spira of Xtreme Couture Management, noting he “probably has friends who do huge budget movies.”
