Super Bowl 2025: Tom Brady Playfully Claps Back at Kevin Hart
In a showdown of comedic proportions, Tom Brady took a playful swing at Kevin Hart during the electrifying Super Bowl 2025 broadcast. This lighthearted banter marked a sweet taste of revenge for the retired NFL icon, who found himself at the receiving end of Hart’s scathing remarks during a record-breaking Netflix roast just nine months prior.
As the Kansas City Chiefs clashed with the Philadelphia Eagles on the grand stage of the Super Bowl, Brady, 47, couldn’t resist seizing the moment to engage in some good-natured ribbing. With a mischievous glint in his eye, Brady turned to his fellow Fox Sports co-commentator, Kevin Burkhardt, and slyly inquired about Hart’s presence at the event. “Kevin Hart’s here?” His voice tinged with amusement, Brady playfully teased, “How do the cameras find Kevin Hart?” A sly jab at the comedian’s modest stature that elicited a chuckle from Burkhardt, who quipped in response, “Well, it depends on the day, I guess.”
But Brady wasn’t done yet. With a twinkle of mischief, he clarified that his jest was all in good fun, declaring, “Kevin, I love you. You took so many shots at me in May. I’m coming right back at you.” This light-hearted exchange between two titans of their respective fields added an extra layer of charm and camaraderie to the high-stakes Super Bowl showdown.
A Roast to Remember: May 2024
The spark that ignited this jovial exchange can be traced back to May 2024, when Kevin Hart unleashed a barrage of zingers at Tom Brady during a live-streamed roast. The “Laugh at My Pain” comic didn’t pull any punches, taking aim at Brady’s personal life, particularly his divorce from Gisele Bündchen. Hart didn’t shy away from poking fun at Bündchen’s relationship with her jiu-jitsu instructor, Joaquim Valente, leaving Brady in the firing line of his sharp wit.
During “The Roast of Tom Brady,” Hart teased, “You sometimes got to f–k your coach. You know who else f–ked their coach? Gisele. She f–ked that karate man.” The comedian didn’t hold back, even questioning Brady’s astuteness by remarking on his failure to foresee certain events. Brady, in turn, expressed his regret over participating in the roast, citing the unintended impact it had on his children, revealing a vulnerable side beneath his tough exterior.
The Aftermath and Beyond
Despite the playful banter between Brady and Hart, the aftermath of their exchange remains shrouded in mystery. While Brady extended an olive branch of understanding towards Hart, acknowledging the importance of family, the comedian has yet to respond to Brady’s latest quip. As the Eagles emerged victorious over the Chiefs at Super Bowl 2025, Hart’s focus was understandably diverted to the jubilant celebrations surrounding his hometown team.
Meanwhile, Brady seems to have seamlessly transitioned into his role as a commentator, demonstrating his quick wit and affable nature even in the heat of the Super Bowl action. His former teammate, Rob Gronkowski, expressed confidence in Brady’s abilities, affirming that the seasoned quarterback was more than prepared for the challenge. As Brady continues to navigate the realm of broadcasting, his charismatic personality and enduring friendship with Hart promise more moments of levity and camaraderie in the future.
The friendly rivalry between Tom Brady and Kevin Hart serves as a reminder that even in the competitive arena of professional sports and entertainment, a touch of humor and camaraderie can bridge gaps and foster bonds that transcend the boundaries of fame and fortune. As the echoes of their banter reverberate through the annals of Super Bowl history, one thing remains clear: in the game of life, laughter is the ultimate touchdown.
