This relationship was always a treat to watch, and fans often loved seeing the duo taking on the opponents with their sharp instincts.

A few years ago, Tom Brady gave an interview with Howard Stern on Sirius XM. Stern asked what it was like to roam freely naked inside the locker room? The host mentioned that he always felt embarrassed imagining the moment and did Brady ever get ashamed about it.

Well, spending time for more than 20 years with several players from different teams, Brady said that he was used to it. However, Stern didn’t stop and emphasized Gronk’s attitude within the team.

Brady revealed that Gronk didn’t care about what others thought of him. “Gronk is, I mean, that guy’s like a Greek god. His body and that guy’s just jacked up,” he said.

“It’s actually funny because I think they still let reporters in the locker room. So it’d be funny because Gronk would get naked and throw the towel over his shoulder and just walk through the locker room with all the reporters. And I would just laugh because you know, Gronk obviously, didn’t give a sh*t. But he would just strut through,” Brady explained the entire scenario.
