Tom Bradyis overjoyed to have worked withSally Field,Jane Fonda,Rita MorenoandLily Tomlinon their upcoming comedy80 For Brady.
Brady produced and appears in the movie alongside the four veteran actresses, who play New England Patriots fans who venture to Houston for2017’s Super Bowl LI.
“I’m a sports fan and I think people underestimate the huge audience that older women are,” Field, 76, says in a clip as she and the movie’s production team film in a set meant to look like the Patriots' locker room at the big game.
84-year-old Fonda calls the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback — a 23-season NFL veteran and seven-time Super Bowl champion — “a miracle” in the footage.
“He’s just an absolute unicorn,” she says, as the video teases scenes of Brady on the sidelines during New England’s historic 34-28 overtime win over the Atlanta Falcons and a clip of Brady joking around with Tomlin, 83, on set.

Tomlin, meanwhile, said Brady felt “like he was my son” in a way: “He looks like a big, beautiful 20-year-old whom I’m going to see play homecoming in his sophomore year. He’s actually 40ish, which is a bit mind-boggling; he’s the quarterback, and he is my son.”
The athlete also “has an incredibly sweet nature,” Tomlin added: “He’s sensitive and tries to make people comfortable.”
