“It was outrageous" – When Rob Gronkowski had his say on erotica in Tom Brady movie
Rob Gronkowski and Tom Brady were teammates for 11 seasons. They were one of the NFL's best offensive duos. Now, both are retired from the league.
The movie "80 for Brady" came out this year, portraying the former four-time All-Pro tight end in an interesting way.
The film fleetingly highlighted the 2014 novel “A Gronking to Remember: Book One in the Rob Gronkowski Erotica Series", which is about a woman who pines after Gronkowski after seeing him play football on television.
In an interview with TODAY in January, Gronk shared his thoughts on the erotic novel that was featured in the film.
Gronkowski said:
"They wrote their own book just for the movie. It was impressive. And I was reading a couple of pages. It was outrageous."
TODAY co-host Jenna Bush Hager mentioned that the Tom Brady film used a fictional book based on the original novel titled "Between A Gronk and a Hard Place." Jane Fonda's character admits that she wrote "Gronk erotica."
Fonda portrayed Trish, an 80-year-old woman who traveled with her three friends to watch Brady and the New England Patriots play in Super Bowl 51. Fonda's character shared a sensuous moment with Rob Gronkowski in the film when she and the former Patriots tight end met in a locker room.

He's the Patriots' all-time leader in touchdowns, second in yards, and fifth in receptions.
