Tom Brady appeared on Westwood One radio Tuesday and was asked by a called who he wants to play him in a movie, if there would be one made about the quarterback’s life. Brady barely skipped a beat before he had the answer:
Tom Brady wants Mark Wahlberg to play him in a movie about Tom’s life

James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
“I’m going with Mark Wahlberg. A Boston legend, (from) Dorchester, one of the just ‘grind it out’ kind of guys.”
Now, it should be noted that Brady is 6’4, while Wahlberg is 5’7 — but they can get around all that with movie magic. What’s really special about this idea is Brady seems beholden to the idea that being from Boston is critical to the movie’s success, which I kinda get.
So without further ado ...
It’s the all-Boston cast of a fictional Tom Brady movie we don’t know exists yet.
