Tom Brady Shares Photo of His 14-Year-Old Son Who Looks Just Like His Famous Dad
Tom Brady posted a sweet tribute for his son Benjamin's 14th birthday, who is now following in his the legendary quarterback's footsteps by playing football. But that's not the only thing Brady's second-oldest has in common with him, as he now bears more than a passing resemblance to his dad.
"My son Benny, can you believe it? Fourteen years old already!" the 46-year-old posted to Instagram on Friday. "It seems like yesterday you were running around in your superhero cape, and now you’re definitely a superhero to me."
"You’ve grown so much, and not just in height," Brady continued, issuing a warning to his former New England Patriots teammate Rob Gronkowski, who stands at 6'6" tall. "You’ve grown in kindness, smarts, and all-around awesomeness. Your ability to make people laugh, your knack for solving problems, and your endless debating skills make you a force to be reckoned with."
"We love you so much. You are a blessing to us all and we adore you!" he gushed, adding: "No, you can’t stay up until 3 a.m. playing video games now that you’re 14. Nice try tho."
Back in September, Brady opened up about Benjamin starting on his school's football team on his SiriusXM podcast, Let's Go! With Tom Brady, Larry Fitzgerald and Jim Gray. And speaking of Gronkowski—that's who his son evidently looks up to.
"He wants to be a tight end like Gronk, and he's gonna be a little beast," Brady said at the time. "He told me this year, 'Dad, I'm playing football.' And I was like, 'What do you wanna play?' And he was like, 'Tight end. I wanna be like Gronk!'"
"So I actually texted Gronk and I'm like, 'Yo, my boy wants to be like you!' And he loved it," Brady added. Well, give him another 10 years, but he's certainly catching up.
