Tom Brady might not have been playing in this year’s Super Bowl, but he still managed to be the talk of the night. The seven-time Super Bowl champion turned heads as he arrived at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, looking every inch the sports legend in a sharp charcoal suit, crisp white shirt, and a sleek black tie.
As cameras zoomed in on the 46-year-old NFL icon, fans couldn’t help but notice his noticeably leaner frame, sparking a wave of discussion across social media. His tailored ensemble accentuated his refined physique, with some fans even wondering if the football great had shed a few pounds since his retirement.
In 2023 Tom opened up about his weight loss on his Let’s Go! podcast, revealing that stepping away from professional football had brought a significant change to his physical health.
"Yeah, I’m down about 10 lbs., but I’m actually very fit right now," he admitted. "I haven’t had the stress that I had while I was playing, so that’s allowed me to focus a little bit more on my physical health."
The former quarterback’s appearance at the Super Bowl was his first major public outing since his shocking revelation, and it didn’t take long for fans to react.

His leaner frame is largely thanks to his famously disciplined diet, which has been a topic of fascination for years. The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers star follows a strict regimen, avoiding refined sugar, salt, caffeine, white flour, dairy, and even starchy root vegetables like potatoes. And, in a revelation that shocked many, he famously steers clear of strawberries.

"It’s just nice to feel good, to wake up every day and know that I’m taking care of myself in a different way," he shared on his podcast.
