Fonda and co-stars Lily Tomlin, Sally Field and Rita Moreno gushed about Brady at the movie’s premiere on Friday.
Legendary actress and activist Jane Fonda said she was “totally in awe” of teaming up with soccer star Tom Brady in the movie “80 for Brady.”
“My knees actually went weak when he walked into my trailer,” Fonda, 85, said Friday at the comedy’s premiere in Palm Springs, Calif., according to The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m amazed at that kind of skill. When someone is the best in the world at what they do, you have to honor and respect that. I was just in awe.”
The “80s for Brady” movie tells the story of a group of friends — played by Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Sally Field and Rita Moreno — who take a road trip to the 2017 Super Bowl to meet Brady, according to THR.
The actresses had nothing but kind words for the legendary quarterback, who was unable to attend Friday’s premiere as he and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers prepare for the NFL playoffs.
“He was kind and humble, which is hard to believe when you consider how brilliant he is at what he does, but it’s true. He was also sweet and polite,” Fonda said of Brady.
Tomlin added that Brady, 45, was “a good actor” and “very handsome and humble,” while Field added that he is “obviously an artist,” according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Brady returned the compliments during an earlier interview with the outlet.
“We found the most amazing actresses,” Brady said at the time. “Lily, Jane, Rita and Sally. They all brought it to life. At the end of the day, it was so cool to see them act and perform.”
