Tom Brady was asked during his weekly appearance on Westwood One radio who he thinks should play him in the inevitable movie about his life. His response? Mark Wahlberg.
“I’m going with Mark Wahlberg,” Brady said. “A Boston legend, (from) Dorchester, one of the just ‘grind it out’ kind of guys.”
That honestly might be the worst choice imaginable. Mark Wahlberg is 5'8". What kind of forced perspective magic would the director have to use to make him look like a 6'4" NFL quarterback? Wahlberg doesn’t even look like Brady facially. He doesn’t have Brady’s most disctinctive feature, the pronounced chin.
