Tom Brady gave Matt Damon the ultimate backhanded compliment.
The New England Patriots quarterback was asked in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar which actor would play him in a biopic.
“Matt Damon,” Brady said. “He’s a great actor, and he’s from Boston, so we’ve got a few things in common. I’ve seen him throw a football, though. He definitely needs to work on that.”
With the twists and turns of Deflategate, the Brady story could be a legal drama, not a sports movie.
Brady also was asked about his favorite football film.
“Wildcats. That’s my absolute favorite, with Goldie Hawn,” Brady said. “You’ll love it.”
So, there you go. Brady’s a “Wildcats” guy.
