What happens when the GOAT of the gridiron meets the GOAT of the silver screen? 7-time Super Bowl championTom Brady has officially voiced his support for Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio to portray him in a potential biopic, shifting away from his previous Boston-centric picks.
Why Tom Brady Wants Leonardo DiCaprio for His Biopic
According to Access Hollywood, the former New England Patriot shared his casting vision during the launch of Fanatics Studios. While Brady has long been linked to fellow Bostonians like Matt Damon and Mark Wahlberg, he's now pulling for DiCaprio. "I like Leo, man, he's a special guy," Brady told the outlet, describing the actor as a "deep thoughtful guy" with a tremendous perspective.
The two stars haven't just been talking business; they've been seen working on their friendship as well. They were recently spotted catching up on a yacht at the start of 2026. Brady joked that while he'd love to have Leo on board, they "gotta write a good script first."
DiCaprio's Rare Athletic Pivot
Leonardo DiCaprio is known for his transformative roles, but he rarely plays athletes. The last time he took on such a role was over three decades ago in 1995's The Basketball Diaries. Currently, DiCaprio is in the midst of a successful award season following the 2025 release of One Battle After Another.
Following a London premiere, the film secured a Best Motion Picture win at the Golden Globes. While DiCaprio lost the Best Actor nod to Timothée Chalamet, his involvement in a high-profile sports biopic would surely create viral buzz across both the sports and film industries.
