Tom Brady might have to skip some organized team activities this summer to attend two red carpet movie premieres.
Mark Wahlberg announced on “The B.S. Report” that the New England Patriots quarterback will star in two of his upcoming movies, “Ted 2” and “Entourage.”
“I just shot another movie (in Boston). I shot ‘Ted 2.’ We have an amazing performance from none other than the greatest quarterback of all time, Tom Brady,” Wahlberg told ESPN’s Bill Simmons on the podcast.
“Tom’s in the movie. He plays himself, but he does an amazing job. Funny, funny moment.”
“Ted 2” will be released in theaters on June 26, 2015. Wahlberg described the scene that Brady appears in.
“There were moments where I was always improvising when doing the scene with him. There are times when I’m supposed to be a super fan, so I’m trying to calm myself down before I knock on my door,” Wahlberg said. “But I’m pretending that I don’t know who he is. I keep saying he looks like different people.
“Then of course, I’m playing an air conditioning guy, so I’m asking him to sign the paper, and I ask him if he can sign that to me and Ted and put No. 12 there, and can you put Eli Manning Sucks. And he put Wes Welker is a traitor, and we keep playing around and paying around and I’m staring at his eyes, and I’m like, they’re bluer than Daytona Beach in MTV Spring Break.”
Brady isn’t the only Patriots player who will crossover onto the silver screen this summer.
“We got (Rob Gronkowski), we got (Stevan) Ridley and we got (Julian) Edelman all in the ‘Entourage’ movie. And Tom’s in the entourage movie,” Wahlberg said. “So, I got him in two movies. It’s going to be a big summer for those guys.”
Wahlberg is a producer on “Entourage,” which is slated to hit theaters on June 5, 2015. Rumors already abounded that the four Patriots players would appear in the movie when they were spotted filming their scenes in Los Angeles last summer.
