Believe it or not, Tom Brady actually has other interests outside of achieving peak athletic performance.
While it seems as though the New England Patriots quarterback seemingly has tunnel vision centered on racking up Super Bowls, it turns out he also has an eye for decor.
In an interview with ForTheWin’s Alysha Tsuji, former Patriots tight end Martellus Bennett — a known appreciator of all things art and creativity — revealed that he and Brady have bonded over their shared interest in interior decorating.
“We were just on the bus on the way to a game, to the plane to get to the game, and we sit by each other on the bus or whatever,” Bennett told Tsuji. “He was on Pinterest and he was looking at some stuff on the house, and I saw like, ‘Oh yeah, I love that.’ I think it was Restoration Hardware. ‘Oh yeah, I love that piece by Restoration Hardware.’ He was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was like, ‘This is my Pinterest.’ We just started showing each other our Pinterests. He loves more contemporary, very rich. He loves like the big doors.
“We just talked about all that, and I just started talking about how I heard that he had a moat in front of one of his houses, and I was like, ‘That’s some baller (expletive).’ That’s just how we are. I’ll send him pictures of stuff from time to time.”
Who would’ve thunk?
Bennett now will have much more time to pursue non-football interests like interior decorating, as the 10-year NFL veteran announced his retirement from the league Friday night.
