Last year, Tom Brady’s fourth Super Bowl ring matched his hero, Steelers great Terry Bradshaw – the first man to do it, and a man who brought home four Lombardi trophies in four tries. He told us an interesting story about appearing on the movie ‘Failure to launch’.

You played Matthew McConaughey’s father in ‘Failure to Launch’. Any good stories about him?

Matthew. Super nice guy, golly. You know the one thing I was surprised about. We were going to play golf one day and it didn’t pan out. And he’s such a big football fan but I can’t recall us ever talking football. And he’s the star so I didn’t have the relationship with him that Bradley Cooper and [Justin] Bartha had. But there’s one scene where I got naked in the naked room and when I finished doing it I couldn’t wait to put my clothes on. Because I was going home, I’d been on the set for six weeks and I was going home. So that was the last scene for me.

But you shoot a master and then you shoot an over-the-shoulder, they shot over Matthew to me. It was my close up. And then it’s his turn so they got to shoot the camera on him, so I go back to my trailer which is quite a walk. And you’re wearing a, I’m just going to say this and then I’ll say it a different way, you’re wearing a penis sock. Alright, you’re not naked, but you got to wear a penis sock. And the funny thing about a penis sock is the wardrobe people, they don’t know how big your penis is.

And so they lay out what they think are three options: small, medium and large is the best I can figure it.

When I walked into my bed room, my trailer, and I went, “Oh my God, none of those will fit!” [Laughs]

Meaning they’re ALL too big! [Laughs]

Then I got to thinking: those girls are going to run in there and see which one I got. So I wasn’t going to take the little one because I really needed extra small. So I took the medium one and I shot this scene, and I’d rather have been naked than wear that thing. So I go back and I’ve got myself back, you know, natural, and I put on boxer shorts and my robe and go back to shoot McConaughey’s scene.

So the director comes over and we shoot the scene and I’ve just got boxers on and Matthew says to the director, Tom Day, “I just didn’t get quite the feeling with Terry in his boxers. Can he go back and put on the penis sock?”

I said, “I’m not putting that thing on. You just tell McConaughey not to worry. When the camera rolls, I’ll make sure he gets…”

So, they roll the camera and I just reached down and whipped everything out and said, “Here you are, big guy.”

And that was the shot! [Laughs]

If you ever see the movie, watch his face. He’s doing everything he can not to just bust out laughing. It was pretty funny. What a great guy.
