Aside from appearing in the movie, Brady served as a co-producer via his production company, 199 Productions, in conjunction with Donna Gigliotti (Silver Linings Playbook,Hidden Figures,Shakespeare in Love) and Endeavor Content. Gigliotti and Brady also developed the project together.
He previouslytoldVarietythat hisrole in the filmis “small” but that he “learned a lot” during his two days of filming.
“It’s really interesting. I find it challenging — sometimes hard,” he said of acting as a version of himself in the movie. “Because you’re always paying attention to yourself as yourself rather than the character you’re playing. I don’t think that’s natural for me. What I’ve done for 23 years in sports is play myself. There’s no acting. It’s me on the field. When I’m pissed, I’m pissed. When I’m happy, I’m happy. I’m not playing a role.”
80 for Bradyhits theaters on Feb. 3, 2023.
