Fans Say Tom Brady, 47, Looks Like a 'Whole Different Person' at the 2025 Super Bowl – Photos

Netizens are marveling at how different they think Tom Brady looks after seeing him at the Super Bowl. The recent comments are not the first instance the public has pointed out his physical changes.

On February 9, 2025, some of the biggest sports stars stepped out to attend the 2025 Super Bowl. Among these stars was football icon Tom Brady, 47, whose noticeably different appearance left social media users taken aback.

Online photos of the NFL superstar, who was dressed in a tailored dark gray suit, white shirt, and black tie, highlighted his physical features. His jawline appeared sharper, his cheeks seemed slightly plump, and his skin looked incredibly smooth.

Brady, who also wore a luxurious gold watch, maintained a tanned, youthful appearance with a chiseled structure. His short, slightly spiked hair was neatly styled.

A TikTok user shocked by how Brady appeared during the sports event shared a quick video of the star reporting for Fox on social media. She accompanied the footage with narration expressing her disbelief that it was even Tom Brady in the first place.

Many other netizens echoed this user's confusion and shock. "Has he had plastic surgery? Looks very different," pondered an Instagrammer, while another chimed in with, "What happened to his face, like sullen looking [sic]. 💀."

A fellow observer stated, "Tom Brady looks like a whole different person," which they accompanied with a GIF of reality star Nene Leakes looking shocked. Similarly, an X user, who also attached a comedic pop culture reference GIF to their message, commented, "Tom Brady's Botox…bby that face is NOT moving at all."

Even more comments ensued, with yet another spectator noting, "it took me a while to recognize tom brady omg, that bucchal fat removal is so serious [sic]." "Did Tom Brady get a facelift?" wondered someone else, who included a Super Bowl emoji alongside their comment.

One netizen simply asked, "Why does Tom Brady [sic] face look like that?" while another reiterated, "What happened to his face? Is that the real Tom Brady?"

Sparking commentary for his appearance is nothing new for the former pro footballer, as his looks have often been at the center of public discussion. Back in 2023, Brady sparked reactions after posting a series of photos from a fun-filled family day with his children.

Unlike the 2025 Super Bowl comments made about him, the 2023 reactions pointed out his strong physique.

In the caption alongside his post, which included eye-catching images of the NFL star snorkeling with his children, Brady joked that he deserved his sunny day out after enduring cold winters while he was playing in the NFL. "I did Michigan and Massachusetts winters for a long time. Let me have this 😂🦞☀️," he penned.

Reacting to the photos, a fan stated, "Tom Brady casually dropping a thirst trap on a Sunday in the thick of the Patriots demise," while an observer highlighted, "Bro retired in his 40s then gets more jacked then [sic] when he was active 😭."

Diverting their focus to another topic, an Instagrammer asserted, "He's literally just an old man from New England he retired in Florida and spends the rest of the time up north Tom Brady is a New Englander confirmed [sic]."

Veering the online discussion back to Brady's physicality, a netizen remarked, "Looks like more bulk muscle versus playing days lean look. Did you make a workout change?" "no [sic] need for more pliability now, more muscle," said another person in response to the previous comment.

On the other hand, a supporter observed, "Tom [sic] been hitting the weights 😂." "Looking JACKED Tom," added a spectator, while another chimed in with, "TB12 looking more fit then [sic] he did in his playing days!!"

However, even in retirement, Brady remains a benchmark for many on what a great NFL player should be. He innovated fitness and nutrition for athletes and has upheld this for years.

Before he played one final season, the former quarterback and his body coach and business partner, Alex Guerrero, made some changes in his routine, which enabled him to play football at the age of 45 against a younger generation of players.

Rather than weights, Guerrero trained Brady with resistance bands. They also worked on his quickness together.

"You can't make aging athletes faster, but you can make them quicker," Guerrero shared. The pair also did cone drills, which they hoped would make Brady more agile.
