Tom Brady responds to Rob Gronkowski’s suggestion to date Sally Field

Former Tom Brady teammate Rob Gronkowski has suggested Sally Field could be a potential love match for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback following his divorce from Gisele Bündchen.

The 33-year-old retired tight end pitched the idea to Brady, 45, after noticing Brady’s chemistry with the 76-year-old actress during a scene in their upcoming sports comedy ’80 For Brady’ .

“Tom, did you consider dating Sally Field after that Oscar worthy performance or what?” Gronkowski jokingly asked during an appearance on the SiriusXM “Let’s Go! Starring Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray” podcast on Monday.

“We kind of had a little thing on camera,” the seven-time Super Bowl champion admitted.

“So that was really nice. We really enjoyed our time together. So we’ll see where that takes us.”

“Yeah, I know, I noticed that,” Gronkowski said as Brady laughed.

“You and Jane Fonda had a good scene too, which was a little…I thought it was really spicy,” Brady told Gronkowski.

“I knew you were going to say that!” exclaimed the New York native.

“It really was,” Brady said. “I was excited to see him.

“So I think a lot of Gronk fans are going to be thrilled to see it. And all the Jane Fonda fans out there. They’re going to love seeing this.”

“Yes, they are,” Gronkowski agreed.

Gronkowski joined the podcast ahead of the Buccaneers’ playoff game against the Dallas Cowboys, which Brady’s team lost 31-14.

The two former New England Patriots teammates starred themselves in “80 For Brady,” which was produced by Brady’s 199 Productions.

Field stars alongside Fonda, Lily Tomlin and Rita Moreno in the film. They play four best friends and Brady superfans who travel together to Houston, Texas to watch the New England Patriots take on the Atlanta Falcons in the 2017 Super Bowl.

Super Bowl LI featured the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history after the Patriots overcame a 28-3 deficit to win the game. In addition to Brady and Gronkowski, other Patriots players appeared in the film, including retired wide receiver Julian Edelman and former wide receiver Danny Amendola.

Field expressed his excitement about meeting the NFL stars for the film’s premiere screening at the Palm Springs International Film Festival on Jan. 6.

During the screening, the two-time Oscar winner told the audience that she is waiting to meet the star athletes before they arrive on set for the first time.

“I was the one who greeted everyone,” she recalled during a panel discussion with Fonda, Moreno and Tomlin, according to Variety.

“There was no one else,” joked Tomlin, 82. “No AP there, just Sally.”

Field continued, “I was there, ‘Hi, guys! I’m so glad you’re here.’

“I wanted them to feel comfortable. I was a fan and I was there to welcome them.”

The “Forrest Gump” star also spoke highly of Brady during an interview with The Hollywood Reporter ahead of the screening.

“He’s clearly an artist,” Field told THR. “He knows where to put any kind of adrenaline he might have and knows how to get on top of it. He’s a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime athlete and it’s really hard to be there.

“Just the fact that I was there, I mean I’ve been a fan and watched him play – who hasn’t? He’s truly astounding, not only for his physical skills but also for his mental skills. He’s a chess player over there [on the field].”

During the roundtable, Fonda gushed about Brady’s beauty as she described she became a star when she met him.

“Tom Brady, I think he came into all of our trailers individually,” she recalled during a Q&A, according to Variety. “And when he came into my trailer at the end, my knees gave out.

“I had to hold on to something. I mean, he’s gorgeous. He’s so gorgeous.”

Seven-time Golden Globe Award winner Fonda praised Brady for his good manners, recalling, “Tom was so kind when he first came on set to buy lunch.

“It was the first time he had been to each of our trailers, which were our lodges, and he introduced himself as if we didn’t know who he was.

“But, again, a real gentleman. He was personable. And I had one of these huge football sweaters waiting for him because my nephew is a huge fan, and he was so personable. And [Tom] wrote on it for him, and my nephew now has that on the wall in a frame. [Tom] just has really good manners like that.”

During his interview with THR, Tomlin praised Brady for his acting skills.

“He’s a good actor,” she told the outlet. “He is very friendly and discreet.”

She described Brady’s performance during a long scene they share together in the film.

“Just looking at his face and his eyes and watching him listen to me as an actor trying to reciprocate in the same way, I felt like that [real-life] woman from Boston who was in her 80s,” the “Grace & Frankie” alum said. “I actually felt like he was my son when I had to do that speech with him.”

Last summer, Brady told the outlet that he was very impressed watching the veteran actresses perform on set.

“We found the most amazing actresses,” the first producer said. “Lily, Jane, Rita and Sally. They brought it all to life. At the end of the day, watching them play and seeing them play was so cool.”

Directed by Kyle Marvin, the film also stars Billy Porter, Rob Corddry, Sara Gilbert, Glynn Turman, Bob Balaban, Ron Funches, Jimmy O. Yang, Harry Hamlin and Guy Fieri.

“80 For Brady” hits theaters on February 3.
