A Chance Encounter With Tom Brady
by Markus Farhan, Access producer
I was at the March of Dimes photo shoot with our own Nancy O'Dell and while we had a small break, I went to the bathroom at the Smash Studios in Hollywood.
As I was finishing going number one, I came out of the stall to wash up and looked over at this tall, good-looking guy that I thought was a model but looked darn familiar.
As he proceeded to the sink where I was, I turned to him and said, "You know you look a lot like Tom Brady."
The gentlemen responded in a deep voice with, "I get that a lot".
I then said, "Wait a minute, you are Tom Brady!" and he responded with "I get that a lot too."
We then laughed and I began to tell him how I thought he was an amazing quarterback and a great athlete but "I'm not a fan of your team." He looked surprised and responded with, "What, are you a Colts fan?"
I then replied, "Nope, more of an arch enemy."
He said "Jets fan?"
Yup.
"Well, that's OK. We'll convert you," Tom joked.
I said, "If there are more nice guys out there like you, then maybe. But for now, I have to take Brett Favre!"
That's when Tom responded with another -- "We'll convert you."
And we left.
This all took place in the men's bathroom... arguably the greatest QB to ever play the game and the fastest talking and most enthusiastic guy Access has ever had!
You have a man crush! How cute.
