Tom Brady, who was featured in Netflix’s “The Greatest Roast of All Time,” now regrets how it affected his kids.
During a recent interview on The Pivot Podcast, the NFL star discussed the roast where comedians like Kevin Hart, Nikki Glaser, and Jeff Ross poked fun at him.
“I loved when the jokes were about me. I thought they were so fun. I didn’t like the way they affected my kids,” Brady said. “It’s the hardest part about … like the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize ‘I wouldn’t do that again’ because of the way that it affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world.
Brady said the silver lining is that the roast provided “a good lesson for me as a parent.”
“It makes you in some ways a better parent going through it,” Brady said. “I’m going to be a better parent as I go forward because of it. At the same time, I’m happy everyone who was there had a lot of fun. … If we’re not laughing about things, we’re crying. We should have more fun. What do we love? We love laughing in the locker room. Let’s do more of that and love each other and celebrate other people’s success.”
Brady’s children weren’t the subject of any jokes in the roast. However, his ex-wife and the mother of two of his children, Gisele Bündchen, was the target of jokes. Many jokes were made about their relationship, which might have made his children uncomfortable. Benjamin, the oldest of Brady’s kids with Bündchen, is 14. Vivian, Brady’s youngest child, is 11.
Gisele Bündchen, Brady’s ex-wife, was “deeply disappointed” by the jokes about her during the roast.
