The NFL star has now become quite a story in the past year over how he handled his retirement. Even Hollywood actors have taken note of the cautionary tale of Brady.

Ever since Brady’s return to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, things have not been as smooth for the player. Maybe one can call it his indecision or love for the sport, but the player will surely stand to give a lesson on retirement to many others. The list already includes the name of a wildly popular American sitcom and movie star, who admittedly does not want to pull a Brady.

I don’t know what I’d do if I didn’t do this.”
