Now that he’s done with the NFL, Tom Brady gets a chance to enjoy some of the finer things in life with his children. That includes looking like a crazy person while taking a ride on the Tower of Terror ride at Walt Disney World.

Brady seems to have taken a recent trip to the “Happiest Place on Earth” with his children. Additionally, the kids appeared to have coaxed him into taking a visit on the Tower of Terror.

It didn’t seem to go very well for the former NFL superstar. A photo captured Brady screaming his head off when the ride dropped, prompting the seven-time Super Bowl winner to fire off a tweet.

“Tower of Terror is mad chill dad,” Brady tweeted, along with a hilarious side-by-side image.

You’d think that Brady might be accustomed to terrifying moments given his 23-year career in the NFL. He faced defensive linemen much more intimidating than some Disney ride.

But, it’s a different type of fear, I guess. Obviously, one that Brady wasn’t prepared to handle. Hopefully, his kids trick him into other rollercoasters throughout the trip so we can check out more of these photos.

Brady talks about son’s potential future in football

Now that Brady is officially done with professional football, he has more time to spend with his kids. But it’s not only in the form of Disney trips and vacations, he’s also enjoying watching his children pursue their dreams.

Earlier this year, Brady said he’s been enjoying his oldest, Jack, play football. It’s been fun for the former Patriots and Buccaneers quarterback become a spectator for those games.

But when asked about his son’s potential future in football, Brady said he wouldn’t “choose” for Jack to play football. He doesn’t plan on standing in the way, but says he doesn’t want to see his son receive lofty expectations.

“I hope he finds the things in his life that allow him to get up every day to be internally motivated to work hard at something he loves to do,” Brady said, per FOX News. “I don’t think football . . . a lot of it, I wouldn’t choose for him to do that, because there’s too many crazy expectations that people would put on him. Most of them probably very unfair, actually. 

“So, whatever path he chooses in life – or my son Benny or my daughter Vivi – whatever they choose, I’m there to support them, just like my dad supported me.”

It makes sense. Brady enjoyed such an accomplished career that his son would undoubtedly face unfair expectations. We can understand why a father would want his child to avoid that.

Regardless of what career paths they choose, Brady says his kids will receive his full support.

“I think that’s what we as parents should do,” Brady said. “We should support our children’s dreams, whatever it may be, it doesn’t need to be sports.”
