Fans are leveling accusations at Tom Brady, suggesting that he may have undergone excessive Botox treatments, following his appearance in a recent NFL promotional video.
In the video, released by the NFL on Instagram this week, the retired sports legend discusses whether he believes the NFL is “scripted.”
“Do I think the NFL is scripted?” he began. “You think I really would’ve played along with a script that had me losing to Peyton Manning’s little brother, Eli Manning, twice in the Super Bowl? No.”
While numerous fans shared their football-related comments in the video’s comments section, others couldn’t help but notice that the 46-year-old Brady looked somewhat different from his appearance before announcing his retirement in February.
“Dude needs to ease up on the plastic surgery,” remarked one fan.
“The plastic surgery is unsettling,” added another.
“Lay off the Botox and hair transplants, @tombrady; you’re starting to resemble Gisele (sic),” commented a third fan, alluding to Brady’s supermodel ex-wife, Gisele Bündchen.
“Botox city, Jesus,” remarked another individual, with a fifth fan playfully dubbing the former NFL star “Botox Brady.”
One user even humorously compared Brady to the “handsome Squidward” meme.
To date, Brady has neither confirmed nor denied whether he has undergone plastic surgery.
One potential reason behind the footballer’s youthful appearance could be his new romance with Irina Shayk.
The former Tampa Bay Buccaneers star and the 37-year-old model, who have been discreetly keeping their relationship out of the spotlight, were recently spotted exiting the same London hotel just last month.
During that time, the Daily Mail reported that the duo spent 48 hours “holed up” inside the luxurious five-star hotel The Twenty Two.
Brady and Shayk were photographed leaving the hotel, just five minutes apart.
In July, Page Six exclusively obtained photos of Shayk and the father of three getting cozy after spending the night at his Los Angeles residence.
While neither party has officially commented on their romance, an insider shared with People that Shayk was “impressed” with Brady and “enjoys dating him.”
“He is her dream guy,” the source added.
Brady and Bündchen finalized their divorce in October 2022, and they share two children: son Benjamin, 13, and daughter Vivian, 10.
Brady is also a father to 16-year-old son Jack, from his previous relationship with Bridget Moynahan.
As for Shayk, she has a 6-year-old daughter named Lea De Seine with her ex-partner Bradley Cooper. The model was recently photographed topless while vacationing with the “Hangover” actor.
