For the premiere screening of their sports-comedy film, the beloved quarterback stood beside Hollywood giants Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Lily Tomlin, and Rita Moreno.


Tom Brady was not alone on the red carpet for the Los Angeles premiere of “80 for Brady” on Jan. 31.

The newly retired Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback, 45, was joined at the occasion by four Hollywood legends: his co-stars from the sports comedy picture, Jane Fonda, Sally Field, Lily Tomlin, and Rita Moreno.

Brady was all smiles as he posed beside the women on his debut red carpet as a screen star himself.

In “80 for Brady,” Fonda, 85, Field, 76, Tomlin, 83, and Moreno, 91, play ardent supporters of the NFL legend and his former team, the New England Patriots. After starring alongside Brady, it appears the actors are also fans off-screen.


“Tom Brady autographed a jersey for us,” Fonda told reporters on the red carpet. “Can’t say I sleep with it, though…” she continued with a sneaky nod.

Fonda detailed Brady’s appeal in an interview with Variety a few weeks ago.

“I think Tom Brady walked into all of our trailers individually,” she said of working on set with him. “At the end, as he went into my trailer, my knees buckled. I needed to hang on to something. I mean, he’s stunning. He is stunning.”


In an Instagram story clip, the “beautiful” quarterback compared his time in the spotlight with Fonda and the others to “the Super Bowl, but with more cameras!” While the seven-time Super Bowl champion feels at ease on the field, another post on his Instagram account shows that the same cannot be true on the red carpet.

“What are you supposed to do with your hands?” he captioned a video of himself looking forward, arms falling limp by his sides.

Brady was significantly more at ease on the official “80 for Brady” film’s Instagram story, when he took a tiny mic and tapped it with a single finger for a humorous “mic check.”

Fans will soon be able to see for themselves how entertaining his performance in the Kyle Marvin-directed comedy is when “80 for Brady” reaches theaters nationwide on February 3.
