David Beckham thinks Tom Brady looks ‘bored’ as unretirement rumors swirl

Tom Brady might be ready to break into the hospitality business.

The retired quarterback, who hung up his jersey “for good” in February 2023, is currently in Sardinia, Italy with entrepreneur and hospitality guru David Grutman, who shared a photo of the two sitting on a yacht on Tuesday.

Soccer legend David Beckham trolled his good friend Brady in the comments, writing: “Tom looks a little bored to be honest @davidgrutman 😂 @tombrady 🥱.”

Although it’s unclear what Brady and Grutman were discussing, they appeared stoic while locked into a conversation — which Grutman described as “coffee talk” in his Instagram caption.

“I’m ready for my hospitality internship 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣,” Brady wrote in the comments.

The Brady-Grutman sighting isn’t anything out of the ordinary, as the two, including Beckham, have been friends for years.

In February 2022, Beckham’s son, Cruz, shared a video of the seven-time Super Bowl winner throwing him a pass from a yacht while Cruz was on a jet ski.

A year prior, Brady, Grutman and Beckham hit the beach together for a game of catch in March 2021.

Grutman, who runs Groot Hospitality with high-end restaurants and clubs throughout in Miami, Dallas and the Bahamas, has a laundry list of celebrity and athlete friends, and is often spotted wining and dining with A-listers.

Beckham’s comment came as rumors about Brady unretiring again continue to swirl.

Brady, who will turn 46 in August, retired in February 2022, only to announce his return to the NFL a month later for a 23rd season.

After Brady and the Buccaneers were ousted by the Cowboys in the wild-card round in January, the quarterback called it a career, announcing his retirement in a social media video on Feb. 1.

However, Brady isn’t slowing down in his post-playing career.

Just last week, the future Hall of Famer agreed to a deal with Raiders owner Mark Davis to purchase a minority share of the Las Vegas team.

It came two months after Brady announced that he acquired an ownership stake in the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, also owned by Davis.

The 45-year-old also has been focused on his businesses, including his performance lifestyle brand, TB12, and his 199 Productions company.

Brady purchased a Major League Pickleball team alongside tennis Hall of Famer Kim Clijsters prior to the start of the 2023 MLP season.

Although Brady appears to be fully immersed in his ventures off the field, Cowboys legend Troy Aikman has his doubts.

“I don’t want speak for Tom, but I wouldn’t rule anything out,” Aikman told TMZ Sports on Tuesday.

“I would bet that just nothing is off the table, as far as what may occur during the season or what Tom’s role may be.”

Aikman’s comments came after the news that Raiders quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo underwent foot surgery back in March.

After agreeing to a $375 million contract with Fox Sports in 2022 to be a game analyst, Brady announced after his retirement this year that he’ll join the network in 2024.

The quarterback went through a public divorce with his ex-wife, supermodel Gisele Bündchen, in October.

The NFL legend and Victoria’s Secret alum have two children together: daughter Vivian, 10, and 13-year-old son Benjamin. 

Brady also has a 15-year-old son Jack with his ex, actress Bridget Moynahan.
