It would now appear that just like the NFL, Hollywood also retains a keen interest in Tom Brady’s future. Hollywood stars Ben Affleck and Matt Damon texted Tom Brady to enquire if he was going to continue his stay in Boston.

The Tom Brady text from Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, therefore, did not prove to be too fruitful.
