Tom Brady had the most self-aware reaction to a photo of him being an awkward dad at a concert

Now that he doesn’t have to prepare for an NFL season anymore, a retired Tom Brady is free to do what he pleases in August.

For example, he has more time to spend with his kids and take them on cool adventures. Brady did just that when he took his daughter Vivian to a Blackpink concert. Given that, you know, he’s Tom Brady — one of the most famous American professional athletes in history — people at the concert noticed Brady was there. It would’ve been hard not to.

And when Brady caught wind of someone’s photo that made him look like an awkward 45-year-old dad, the NFL legend hilariously leaned into it.

This is the most “dad takes his daughter and her friends to a concert” picture ever taken 😂😂😂 https://t.co/L8Z3iI9qCs

Brady’s so right. He checks off all the awkward dad boxes there. A ball cap. A face like he’s listening to the music but doesn’t quite “get it.” A generic white shirt that seems to be tucked into his pants. And a posture like he’s enjoying himself but is also taking his chaperone responsibilities quite seriously.

 

Kudos to Brady for recognizing he’s not necessarily “cool.” And kudos to him for being a good dad.

This was how Twitter reacted
