The NFL fans believe former New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski is a physical specimen tailor-made for the NFL. But it seems the illusion is a little misguided if fans recall his accidental career as a male stripper. The incident was something that even took the 4-time Super Bowl champion by surprise when it happened to him.

During a 2016 episode of Conan on CBS, Gronk revealed how his college buddy made him aware of bachelorette parties. The allure of getting a $100 bill for his services appeared reasonable for Gronk, and he dressed up as a security guard to protect his friend. At the party, apart from protecting his friend, Gronk was also enjoying drinks on the side. But he was misunderstood by the ladies at the party as a stripper.
