David Beckham texted Tom Brady to make sure he was ‘OK’ after brutal Netflix roast
David Beckham checked in on pal Tom Brady after watching his brutal Netflix roast over the weekend.
During an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” Wednesday, the legendary soccer player said he found “The Roast of Tom Brady” to be “quite funny” — but wanted to make sure Brady felt the same.
“I know Tom well, and I must admit, I did fire him a message just to check if he was OK,” Beckham, 49, told Kimmel, 56.
When the late-night host asked how Brady, 46, was feeling, Beckham said, “He’s more than OK, but yeah, it was hard to watch.”
Although Beckham thought the roast was “very funny,” fans shouldn’t expect to see him in the hot seat anytime soon.
When asked if he would ever agree to a roast of his own, the soccer star replied, “No, definitely not.”
Beckham isn’t the only famous athlete who watched the special and quickly decided they would never want to swap places with Brady.
During Wednesday’s episode of Travis and Jason Kelce’s “New Heights” podcast, the brothers commended the quarterback for taking the jokes on the chin — despite refusing to do it themselves.
“I really don’t f–king get it. I don’t get why people do roasts. I don’t get why they are a thing,” Jason pondered, sarcastically adding, “‘Haha, yeah, my family’s ruined, it’s so funny, everyone’s laughing, it’s great, we’re having fun, yeah right!”
The former Philadelphia Eagles star suggested that the streaming giant must have paid Brady a pretty penny for him to agree to it.
Despite that, Travis praised the former New England Patriots star for being such a “good sport” while taking some “aggressive strays.”
Brady’s three-hour roast aired last Sunday and featured sets from Kevin Hart, Will Ferrell, Ben Affleck, Rob Gronkowski, Nikki Glaser, Kim Kardashian and more.
While some of the jokes centered around the seven-time Super Bowl champion’s career, most of the content focused on his personal life — specifically his split from ex-wife Gisele Bündchen.
Several comedians brought up the supermodel’s newfound romance with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente.
“You know who also f—ked their coach? Gisele, she f—ked her karate coach,” Hart joked at the beginning of the show. “Tom, how did you not see this coming? Eight karate classes a day?”
A bit later, Glaser also took aim at the pair’s ill-fated marriage, which ended in 2022.
“You have seven rings. Well, eight now that Gisele gave hers back,” she said.
Although Brady told Beckham he was doing fine following the thrashing, the same couldn’t be said for Bündchen.
The Brazilian-born model was reportedly “deeply disappointed” by the “disrespectful” jokes about her family.
An insider told us she felt like Brady “once again put football before his family” by doing the roast.
Despite sticking up for New England Patriots owner Robert Craft at one point, the NFL legend never defended his marriage from an onslaught of jokes — which Bündchen took as a clear indication that he cares more about the gridiron than her.
We’re told Brady didn’t know any of the jokes beforehand; however, his kids were “always off limits.”
